I’m a sucker for tv ads – for me, they are the best form of advertisements. I always fall for some new product or another! And the Olay Total Effects body wash<\/strong> is no different.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’d used Olay Total Effects for my face<\/a> but when they put the thought in my head about “anti-aging” for the body, it made me think of just how little care I take of the skin on my body. Well time to remedy that with a little trip to Guardian pharmacy! \ud83d\ude00 I picked up the Olay Total Effects body wash in Extra Moisturizing for roughly RM19.90 <\/strong>for 583ml. There are 3 versions – Moisturizing, Extra Nourishing and Ultra Nourishing. Mine is Extra Nourishing because I thought I needed it.<\/p>\n The body wash squeezes out like a mousse but when I spread it, it has a very smooth creamy feel. I don’t use a bath lily or puff (I don’t like it) so I just use my hands. For a body wash with body butter in it, I thought my skin might feel greasy after the shower or maybe be a little bit oily – body butter after all! But nope. It washes off clean as a whistle. My skin does not feel dry after that, but lets face it friends, it does not exactly feel super moisturized either. After about 2 weeks daily use, I find that my skin is a touch less scaly looking so I reckon it has helped but you still need to top up with body lotion to get really smooth skin.<\/p>\n The scent is like that of watermelon to me (not a smell I enjoy) but it lingers on the skin and fades down to a soft powdery scent that is rather comforting.<\/p>\n So, can a body wash help moisturize your skin? I’d stick my head out and say no. Just like facial cleansers, anything you wash off your skin can’t help it very much. I like the fact it does not make my skin feel dry after my shower and that my skin does feel a little less dry, but if there’s an Olay Total Effect body lotion in the offing, that might help better!<\/p>\n Everything said, I will repurchase. Surprised? Well, I like the smooth creamy feel on my skin and its pretty good value plus I like how my skin doesn’t feel like a dried prune after my shower. Its nice for RM20 and it will last a while!<\/p>\n This product states that its made in the USA – personally I don’t count that as a confidence boosting point because I think products made in this region are more suited to the weather and may not break down so quickly. But it it matters for you, this is a point to note.<\/p>\n Pros: <\/strong>Affordable, Not drying on the skin, Helps skin feel more moisturized after shower<\/p>\n Cons: <\/strong>Scent was not endearing to me<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
