Feeling whipped: New innovations from Olay
One thing that I ensure I do every morning is apply a facial sunscreen.
Did you know that only one-in-five women apply SPF to their face every morning among those who have a morning routine? I get it, I personally have five steps in my morning skincare routine, so to add another step on top of that is a lot. The great way of getting around it? Find a moisturizer with an SPF in it!
Genius, right?
If you are on the hunt for a new daytime moisturizer with included SPF then look no further than Olay’s newest release, the Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 40 (C$39.97) which combines the brand’s Whip technology with their anti-aging Regnerist technology to gives you a breathable, light moisturizer that also will protect your skin from aging. Oh, and it also has SPF 40 in it, obviously!
In case you aren’t familiar with Olay Whip, it is a light formula that transforms from cream to liquid on contact, meaning a little goes a long way. It also absorbs fast on your face and doesn’t leave your pores clogged, making your skin breathable.
The Regenerist part contains their Amino-Peptide Complex II, which hydrates to improve your skin’s elasticity and firm skin for a more lifted appearance. The formula contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3 to retain moisture), hyaluronic acid (for hydration), and amino peptide (to make skin look firmer).
In addition, it also includes their innovative SolaSheer Technology to hydrate and nourish skin, while protecting it against UVA/UVB rays. Unlike other sunscreens, the formula isn’t greasy and it’s also 100 per cent oil free. Apply this to your skin for a matte appearance that feels breathable, will firm skin, and give you amazing sun protection.
Pair their new moisturizer with one of their brand-new serums. In case you don’t already use serums, I’ll be the first person to tell you that you definitely should. The difference between moisturizers and serums is that a serum contains a more concentrated formula. When shopping for one, you definitely want to look for something that targets your specific skin concern, which is why Olay’s new serums are great.
These serums comes in three different formulas designed to target different skin issues. There is Tone Perfection, Deep Hydration, and Wrinkle Correction.
Tone Perfection (C$39.98) is for those who have uneven skin tone, whether from lack of sleep, environmental stressors, or just plain-old stressed out. It is formulated for dull or uneven skin tone and contains key ingredients of Vitamin B3 and Vitamin C. This serum is aimed to give you brighter-looking skin with a healthy glow.
Deep Hydration (C$39.98) is for dry skin, making it great for those who live in dry climates or the frequent flyer (when we can fly again one day freely). This serum is formulated with Vitamin B3 and hyaluronic acid and will be a tall glass of water to give you dewy, long-lasting hydration. This would be great to stock up on as we head into the colder months. Coming from Winnipeg, this will be a total must since we experience really dry winters.
Finally, Wrinkle Correction (C$39.98) is aimed for aging skin and is great for those who have mature skin or even those in their late 20’s and early 30’s. The idea of anti-aging skincare is to use it when you’re young so it can act as a preventative measure as we age. This contains Vitamin B3 and peptides and will visibly reduce lines and wrinkles, leaving you with younger-looking skin.
Pick up one, two, or all three and cocktail them together for a custom skincare routine aimed at giving you your most perfect skin yet. Apply the a few drops of the serum before your moisturizer (like the Olay Regenerist Whip SPF 40) to keep your skin feeling and looking fresh, hydrated, and youthful looking.
All of these products are brand new so I’m still testing them out, but in general I’ve always been a huge fan of Olay skincare since it’s so affordable and works wonders on your skin. I highly recommend picking up the moisturizer if you don’t already use a facial SPF, and even if you do, having a two-in-one product makes life so much easier in the morning.
