From the time I was a young teenager, I was taught the importance of taking care of my body. Of course, these lessons started younger than my teenage years, but it wasn’t until puberty that I actually started taking it all to heart. I was fairly active due to gym class in school and extracurricular activities, had dental hygiene instilled as a child and was a stickler for other areas of personal hygiene. If I had to give one area of my daily routine that I was most stringent about, aside from the usual, I’d have to say it was my daily beauty regime.
Now, when I say beauty regime, most people might think I’m talking about makeup. While I did wear a little bit of gloss and eyeliner from time to time, I was more concerned about the overall health of my skin rather than highlighting my natural features. I had so many friends who covered their faces in large amounts of makeup and who struggled with acne because of the products they used, but looking back, I’m so thankful I managed to sidestep those pesky issues myself.
Now, however, that I’m older and also expecting our miracle child, I have started to notice some changes in my skin. My skin has experienced the effects of pregnancy hormones at times. A random pimple here, a bit of redness there and of course, a complaint by pregnant women everywhere, those pesky dark circles under my eyes.
Before Olay 28 Day Challenge
Right about the time I started lamenting these issues, I received word that I had been chosen to partner with Olay to participate in their 28 Day Challenge documenting the journey and progress with two of their products: Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15 and Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel.
Since I was always a firm believer in the benefits of a good moisturizer and my pregnancy eyes could use a little boost some days, I was thrilled to be able to take part in Olay’s 28 Day Challenge. For my fellow mama’s who find themselves needing one or the other or even both, I encourage you to read on to hear about these two great products!
Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Fragrance-Free Moisturizer
The Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Fragrance-Free Moisturizer protects our skin from the harsh effects of the sun and contains ingredients like VitaNiacin Complex II to help fight the 7 signs of aging. This formula also contains essential vitamins like vitamin C, E, B3, and B5 while exfoliating to enhance your skin’s natural renewing process for a healthier looking complexion. For those looking to smooth out fine lines, minimize pores and restore firmness, the Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15 is a great product to introduce into your beauty regime.
Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel
For mama’s with those tired eyes, the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel is a cooling formula that helps to treat tired eyes and plumps the sensitive skin beneath. With the help of Hyaluronic acid, peptides, B5, and cucumber extract, the Olay Eyes Hydrating Eye Gel will hydrate your eyes for a quick, lovely wide-awake look, even when you’re in a rush during early mornings. You can say goodbye to those unsightly fatigue lines and hello to long-lasting hydration & a healthy, wide-awake glow!

Lavanda Michelle
October 8, 2017This is a awesome challenge and $40 coupon code is awesome. I’m taking the challenge

October 8, 2017This sounds exactly like what I need, probably both products. I am terrible when it comes to moisturising, I am not sure why. I do love the sound of wide awake and brighter looking eyes! By the way, you look gorgeous in these snaps!
nawal
October 8, 2017This is actually very interesting and I would love to try it, but I think I’m just hesitant because I have acne prone skin and I’m afraid of anything acting that up.
Daria
October 8, 2017I have tried so many creams over the years, many expensive ones. I am back on OLAY and I love it! It gives me an instant glow
Jacqui Odell
October 8, 2017I don’t really have a face routine but as I am getting older I am beginning to think I need to do something. Olay was one of the companies I was looking at. I think I will try this callange for myself!
Carol
October 8, 2017I really love Olay products, actually I’m using some of their products like the Age Protect, and I really love it. Would definitely love to try this challenge, soon 🙂

October 9, 2017I’ve only heard good things about Olay and have seen people with great skin using it. I have a skin care routine but I don’t always follow it. This post has just reminded.
Corinne & Kirsty
October 9, 2017Your skin looks absolutely amazing! it is glowing! I love your photos, they are so pretty! I have never tried any of Olay’s products! But they sound like something I would want to use. My skin is being a bit difficult at the moment!

October 9, 2017This olay 28-day challenge looks so interesting. I have never tried using any Olay products. But these one looks like something I want to try. You are looking so beautiful.

October 9, 2017you have beautiful skin! i’m one of those people who are in a skincare loop of dooom! my skin is bad from makeup , so i wear makeup to cover it up which causes more breakouts but I cant leave the house without covering up the blemishes! lol great post btw
Isabel
October 9, 2017It’s fantastic that the moisturiser is fragrance free, I find fragrance can be quite irritating to my skin. Your skin looks absolutely amazing by the way!

October 9, 2017Ooh I have heard about the Olay 28 day challenge and keep meaning to give it a try. You have amazing skin to begin with, I’m not sure I would look that great with or without it!
MELANIE EDJOURIAN
October 9, 2017I am the same I am not heavily into wearing make up although I do when I go out. I’ve always like Olay products they have a lovely range. I need to try that eye gel.
Lima حليمه (@Fashionicide)
October 9, 2017I like the sound of the eye gel! I don’t get on with eye creams as I feel they are too heavy for the delicate under eye area, Will have to add this product to my wish list!

October 9, 2017I just started an actual skin care routine a few months ago and I noticed a huge difference with my skin, especially the dark circles under my eyes. I wish I would have started sooner!

Sarah Bailey
October 10, 2017Olay seems to have really upped the ante on the products they offer over the last few years, I think I am going to have to give their regime a try.
Baby Isabella
October 10, 2017My mummy would like to take up the Olay’s 28 Day Challenge and has just started to use anti-wrinkle cream so might give this a go!
Acupofassamtea
October 10, 2017I wanted to try Olay challenge but never get courage after reading your post I am little more hopeful and give it a try. Your skin looks healthy and supple.
Cia Black
October 10, 2017First lets me state your skin looks fabulous in both the before and after shots. I think I’d be more inclined to try the eye gel. as that seems to be the one spot that needs the most work on my face.
Ana De- Jesus
October 10, 2017I think you look good before and after but I think that it is great that Olay has helped you during pregnancy. The eye serum is something that appeals to me as I have eye bags due to my insomnia.
Tiffany Yong
October 10, 2017Hmm… A 28 day challenge is a great idea to test out whether a product is good! I’m glad you’ve tested out Olay for 28 days to see if the product benefits your skin~
Ana Ro
October 10, 2017I keep seeing Olay products in the shop, but I never tried them yet myself. The results are amazing, you have really inspired me to give them a try!

October 10, 2017You look lovely, your skin is stunning. May have to give this a go myself 😉 x

kirsty
October 11, 2017You skin certainly looks like it has a very healthy and fresh glow after using the olay products. I would love to try the eye gel as a tired mum myself this would be very beneficial!
Emily Leary
October 11, 2017I don’t think I’ve seen your skin ever look anything but flawless! Glad to hear these have helped out during pregnancy, will check them out when I’m next in the shops.
Tanya Brannan
October 11, 2017I have to admit to loving Olay products, however I haven’t tried either of these ones….yet! After your review, they are on my payday list
Nichola - Globalmouse
October 11, 2017Your skin looks amazing. I really need to take better care of mine, it could definitely do with some hydration help!

October 11, 2017I love the result after 28 days! Indeed you have amazing outcome! Now I am thinking of trying the 28 day challenge too! You look awesome!
Helen at Casa Costello
October 12, 2017You definitely have beautiful skin. I got out of the habit of using Olay but my skin has not been as good since so perhaps I had better give it another go.
Sarah Ann
October 12, 2017I’ve been looking for a new under eye product because the cream I’m using just now isn’t hydrating enough. Love the sound of this gel!
Lucy | Real mum Reviews
October 12, 2017I really need to start taking better care of my skin! Sounds like just the challenge!
