Life has been super busy with a full time job, an almost full time blog, events, travelling and so much more and hey could I be more excited than this, heck no! In between all the huddle I always strive for ways to look good. You call it demand of my profession or just a disciplined routine, my passion for beauty has lead me to develop my own skincare strategy!

I am someone who never settles for anything mediocre when it comes to skincare in spite of the different roles I play in my life. Olay has been synonymous with skincare for sometime now, and trust me it still is one of my favorite brands. I am 23 and signs of aging that I have been hearing about in all the advertisements never really mattered to me until I took a deeper look at my skin. With a super hectic but exciting lifestyle, I too have suffered open pores, discoloration, dehydration and now very fine lines around my eyes and skin. But as they say, there is always a blessing in disguise. With such signs, I have begun to take my skin care ritual very seriously and I couldn't have been more happy with my skin right now, all thanks to OLAY.

Okay we all know that the market is flooded with products and skincare serums that it's only confused a consumer at the end of the day. But without sounding biased, I am happy to share that the Elle Beauty award winner Olay Total Effects Day cream (yes, it won the same award as I did) has been fantastic on my skin. It's actually been my mom's favorite for years now and I was recently introduced to it. It's light, with an SPF 15 it actually has reduced the appearance of lines and wrinkles, I can already feel the difference especially around my eyes. It does reduce the appearance of pores but most importantly it intensively hydrates the skin, just the perfect boost I needed in the current season! I had the opportunity to try the entire OLAY regime that includes a cleanser, a serum, a day cream and a night cream. Needless to say how repaired my skin feels at the moment! The cleanser cleans the skin thoroughly and maintains skin moisture balance. You wouldn't feel tight or an itchy feeling after using it. I love how gently it purifies the skin by forming a lot of foam (yes I am one of those people who love cleansers that form extensive foam). I have recently added serums to my beauty box, and to be honest I didn't know the benefits of using a serum until sometime back. I have loved many serum products because they looked good, but didn't really see a significant change in my skin. The anti aging serum by Olay however came as a surprise to me. Of-course I wouldn't have opted for an 'anti-aging' serum at this age but I have got to say that we need to protect our skin early on especially in this hectic, crazy lifestyle. The concentrated serum is actually like a pre-facial moisturizer that provides 7 anti-ageing benefits. It smooths the skin texture, it really does and additionally tones the skin. Unlike other light serums, this one feels like a moisturizer that helps prevent free radical damage to the skin's surface layers. Last product that I am totally crushing on is the anti aging night cream. This night moisturizer firms the skin while you sleep. It's almost like a recovery cream that not only smells good but feels good too. It makes my skin really soft, the next morning. I am sure a lot of you love Olay products, but I am overwhelmed with the results that I achieved with this skincare regime. Don't have time for intensive skin care? Pamper yourself with the basics. Get your hands on some of these products and trust me you will thank me (actually Olay) later!!!
Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent various skin problems. I am sure you can make lifestyle changes, but when it comes to skincare regime, give it a shot with Olay. Start using the highly recommended Olay Total Effects Day cream first and then maybe you can include all the other amazing products in your beauty box. I hope this review will help all you 20 somethings like me to re-think about the concept of aging and fine lines.
