Olay CC Cream Review and Giveaway (US- ends 3/3/13)

Aging... not something I want to show, especially on my face! I've admitted before on my blog and on my sidebar to the blog that I'm 50 and  I'm okay with it. I don't want my face to show it just yet, especially fine lines and wrinkles that have been showing up here and there! I do use moisturizer on my face at least once a day, sometimes twice a day. I  have needed something to help with the uneven tone and the age spots that have shown up in the past few years, and I wasn't quite sure what to use to help out with them. I believe that one should fight the signs of aging at any age!

 
I found out about Beauty's Next Big Trend recently!! Olay CC Cream provide instant Coverage plus Correction to fight 7 signs of aging, including uneven tone, age spots, and wrinkles! (Barb's note: my worries are over!! Yay!)      CC Cream Is Here!!     AA (anti-aging) +BB (beauty balm) = CC (color and correction)   This all-in-one triple stream formula combines a daily anti-aging moisturizer, SPF15 sunscreen and sheer tint for younger-looking skin.



Total Effects fights the 7 signs of aging:
* Fine lines and wrinkles: reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
* Uneven Tone: balances and helps even out tone
*Age Spots: reduces appearance of discoloration
*Gentle Exfoliation: Improves surface cell turnover
* Dryness: provides nourishing moisturization
* Moisture Barrier: strengthens skin's natural defense against moisture loss
* Luminosity: recaptures youthful luminosity

I've been using the product now for about a week, on days off out in the sun and on work nights (not in the sun, obviously at night!).  Basically everyday, and through crazy and busy nights at work! I'm using the "Fair to Light" and it blends in quite well on my face. It doesn't feel caked on or heavy, just very comfortable on my skin!  I haven't felt any dryness while using the product and that is definitely a plus for me! I've noticed that it has helped with the fine lines and few wrinkles that I have. My skin tone appears to be more balanced and the age spots appear to be less noticeable. I've taken a few pictures of before and after and in different lighting ---the pictures in the house were with CFL's, and the one in the car was obviously taken in daylight outside! I do like this product very much and it's in my daily skincare routine now, before leaving the house (or not!) each day!



Before, with my hair pulled back and no glasses.
After applying the product on my face, side view!
after work today, with the CC cream still on my face!
Friday, before I headed out on an errand with the CC Cream on my face!


I have a few links to share with you, for you to find out more information on Olay CC Cream or to connect with Olay via social media (don't we all love social media!!)!

  9. I learned that in order to reduce puffiness in your eyes, to "Be careful to also manage salt intake, get enough sleep and try not to rub the area around the eyes. If you have allergies/sinusitis be sure to keep them under control as much as possible since that can also contribute to the puffiness in this area." I'm terrible about reducing my salt intake. :)
