The Skincare Product I’m Adding Into My Routine

Hey y’all! Today on the blog I wanted to talk about The Olay Skincare Product I’m Adding Into My Routine! Georgia just had it’s first cool day of the year, and I can already tell that my skin is feeling the effects of this. Skincare has been something I’ve started to focus a lot on in 2020 I want to take better care of my skin and find the right products to do so!

There’s obviously nothing wrong with getting older (and wiser, HA), but I want to make sure I am taking care of my skin correctly! While I love my smile and skin, there’s always ways to make it better! In this post, I’m going to share the Olay product I have loved adding into my routine, and why it’s so amazing.

Why I Love Olay Regenerist Retinol 24

I have used this product before, and it’s done wonders overall for my skin! Not only does the product feel great on my skin, it offers so many benefits too. Since I have combination skin (oily + dry), I am always looking for products that will keep my skin moisturized without making it look greasy! This product is amazing at doing just that.

Every night before I go to sleep, I rub the moisturizer all over my face. It contains Olay’s Vitamin B3 + Retinol Complex which works magic without you having to do a thing! This is due to the ultra-hydrating formula that absorbs quickly to deliver the ingredients into your skin’s surface. This helps a lot with overnight regeneration!

So….Why Retinol?

There are a few reasons why retinol is an amazing product to have in your skincare routine! Retinol is a fancy form of Vitamin A. They encourage your skin to turn over faster than it would normally, which makes way for new skin! Because of these properties, it helps to brighten skin, smooth fine lines, and visibly improve dark spots. These are all the things I’m looking for when it comes to a skincare product!

Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 is particularly great because it contains all of this + Vitamin B3! This ingredient is great because it helps skin to retain moisture by keeping it hydrated! In this case, it will keep your skin hydrated for 24 hours. This is awesome for right now because places will start turning the heat on soon! You’ll be able to keep your skin moisturized and bright.

My Daily Skincare Routine

I wanted to also share the best way to apply this awesome product! I always like to make sure my skin is fresh and clean before bed, and generally I shower before I go to sleep. If that’s not a part of your nightly routine, then be sure to check out the steps below for best skincare practices!

  1. Cleanse – Make sure to get all of the dirt, oils, and makeup out of your pores! I like to use Olay’s Vitamin C + Black Charcoal Scrub!
  2. Treat – Utilize all of Olay’s products to give yourself the best daily routine you can have! I love using the Olay Regenerist Brightening Vitamin C Facial Moisturizer after washing my face in the morning.
  3. Moisturize – This is ALWAYS the most important part to me! Make sure to always use products with SPF in them during the day time (even if you work from home) and at night, be sure to use a nourishing formula like the Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 cream!

Other Olay Products That I’ve Added Into My Routine

Olay also sent me some other skincare products that I’ve been excited to add into my routine! I mentioned the first product above, but I have been really into the Olay Regenerist Brightening Vitamin C Facial Moisturizer. I have been using this product every morning before I log on to work in the mornings! It is a non-greasy moisturizer that works really well under makeup. Perfect for Zoom meetings!

Olay also sent their Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream! This product is great to use after both of these products! I add a little bit before I go to sleep, and a dash before I put on my makeup! It’s the perfect last step because it has Vitamin B3 + Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is another helpful ingredient because it helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump!

Both of these products are helpful in keeping my skin looking stellar no matter the time of day or the month of the year! If you have been looking for affordable skincare products that will keep it bright and hydrated for the cooler months, then you have to look no further.


I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I love partnering with Olay to share their fav products because they also happen to be my fav products too! My mom has made me a die hard Olay customerfan and I’m always grateful for that. 

These products are also favorites amongst Allure editors, the authorities on the “Best of Beauty.”  Don’t forget, you can pick up Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 and any of these other Olay products at your local Target, Target.com, and you can even order online and pick it up using their convenient curbside pick up!

I’m not sure if you’ve ever felt like this, bu I’m not sure if you’ve ever felt like this, but at every stage of my life I NEVER think my body is good enough. Wild right?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because then I’ll look back and WISH my body looked like it had in those old photos. I also watched a few TikToks this week about the fact that women have a “second puberty.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I have definitely noticed my body changing A LOT the past two years. I’ve gained weight in some good, and annoying areas, but this is NORMAL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s normal to not have the same body you did when you were 18. So if you were like me, stop beating your self up about it. You are MAGNIFICENT the way you are! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This spring/summer I will be sharing outfits I’m comfortable in, but also ones that make me feel CONFIDENT and out of my comfort zone! I’m honestly so excited and hope you are too.⁣
