Oil of Olay was the first moisturizer that I ever used.  My mom has been using Olay products for as long as I can remember and the light fragrance and distinctive black-topped bottle of the standard moisturizer has been floating around my family for years.  With over 100 products for all skin types and budgets, I am always interested to see what new lines this reliable brand is releasing next.

With everyone cutting back and taking the time to reflect and think about how to conserve and save money, it makes sense for you to take a hard look at how much is being spent on toiletries and beauty products. Do you really need to use huge dollops of expensive face creams and soaps every day…twice a day?
