Why isn’t your skincare working for you? Are you experiencing “Skin Fatigue”?

December 10, 2013 Paris B 32 Comments

skin fatigue

“Skin Fatigue” – I wonder what’s that? I hear you ask.

Well, here’s some things I learned about our skin and why we may feel that sometimes, some skincare doesn’t deliver what they promise, or why our skin may just not be receptive to certain skincare. I’ll try to distill the science of what I’ve learned from listening to a couple of scientists during my trip to Sydney with Olay 🙂

I’ll allow that the take away is quite Olay-centric which is to be expected, but a lot of the sciencey bits made sense so I’ll share those 🙂 So, what’s that about skin and energy then? How does our skin get tired and how does that affect how we look?

Your Say: Do you have a skincare product graveyard?

November 26, 2013 Paris B 56 Comments

skincare product graveyard

Hands up ladies, don’t be shy! Do you have a skincare graveyard?

When I was whisked away by Olay during their whirlwind blogger event in Sydney 2 weeks ago, during the evening presentation, we were told about this thing called a “skincare graveyard”. Basically, what this is, is that far dark corner of your room or your house, where you toss all the skincare products that don’t work for you, for whatever reason. Perhaps you aren’t seeing the results that are promised, or perhaps it’s giving you an adverse reaction.

It is that place where skincare products go to die, to put it morbidly. According to a Facebook poll run by Olay, 63 million claimed to have this skincare graveyard and it made me morbidly curious. Do you have one too? After all, we know that not every product works for us and I know that many of us are skincare junkies! 😀

New! Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Cream and Olay White Radiance CelLucent White Essence Water

June 2, 2012 Paris B 26 Comments

You may be seeing these new items from Olay on the pharmacy shelves already. Both are targeted at people with different concerns – wrinkles and whitening. I swear, these are the two biggest concerns amongst ladies in Asia, with the latter probably trumping the former. I personally am a huge fan of hydrating. I find I have less problems when skin is hydrated.

But you know what they say right? You can’t beat gravity and time. Bah! 😛

The first of these new items, the Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Cream brought tears of laughter to my eyes when I first came across the name. I’m sorry, I felt the name was a little lame 😛 But a friend recently raved away to me about a new Olay cream she had tried that was really really good for her, and helped smooth out fine lines. I asked her what it was and she sent me a picture – it was this very same one! Suddenly, the name wasn’t so funny if it really works 😛 I trust this friend’s opinion so I’m now raring to give this a go! Have you seen or tried it?

Olay Botanical Fusion Body Wash : Lovely and Inexpensive shower treat

January 13, 2011 Paris B 17 Comments

Body washes or shower gels are a serious weakness of mine. On the plus side however, things like these really finish up quickly if used constantly, so I’m always in the market for more 😀

This Olay Botanical Fusion body wash was purchased by me from Shanghai. I have not seen it around here, so we might or might not get it in time.

You know what this Botanical Fusion body wash reminds me of? The Total Effects body wash! Its got the same sort of texture, which is a little like foamy mousse, and the same sort of scent.
