Spring is finally here! And I’m really excited to leave my sweaters in closet and break out my cute spring wardrobe! But as the hot summer approaches, I have to think more and more about my skincare regimen. It is always so hot and muggy here, that just going outside for a short time can make my skin break out. For this reason, I try to stay indoors as much as possible and cling to my computer! (Haha.) But even I have to go outside sometimes, so I am very happy to add Olay Fresh Effects to my skincare routine.
Olay recently sent me all the products in their Fresh Effects line, along with a really cute vanity pictured below, and a $25 Walmart gift card to give away to a friend to try the products.
Olay is traditionally known for their anti-aging products, but this new line is actually geared toward a younger crowd. As you can see from the packaging, it’s very bold, hip and fresh looking, and the line includes products that will leave your skin feeling clean and….well, fresh!
As part of this review, I was encouraged to do a video. I’ve never done a video before but I’ve been wanting to, so I finally just broke down and decided to do it! The quality isn’t the greatest, because I just used an Ipod and I didn’t have the best lighting, but I’ll have to try to fix that next time!
Anyway, in this video I briefly describe each of the products and tell you what I thought about them. I would really love for you to watch it and give me some feedback! (But since it IS my FIRST video, please don’t be too brutal.) Otherwise if you’re not in to video, just scroll down and read my written review.
Summary
Ranging in price from $5 to $13, this is an affordable line of products for any budget. I’ve really enjoyed incorporating these products in to my personal beauty routine. As someone with combination skin, I like to go back and forth between exfoliating cleansers and cream cleansers, so I was pleased that Olay included both of these type of products in the line.
And I was most impressed with the results that I got when using the Va-Va Vivid Power Cleansing System with the Shine Minimizing Cleanser. And all in all, I felt that the product line as a whole has helped me to maintain clean and clear skin, as well maintain soft skin and fresh, healthy glow.
