Waking Up To My Best Beautiful With Olay Night Ritual

When I was young, I often put make up not because I want to but because I need it when performing as a dancer-actor in theatre. It was my life until I finished college. I had an early taste of what it is like to endure sleepless nights, and the rigors of balancing classes as early as 8 am to as late as 6 pm, then having rehearsals until 10 in the evening or even later. I experienced keeping myself up for days with Bacchus running through my veins because I had to finish a chapter of my thesis before going on stage. It was an awesome time. My youth made me feel invincible.

Today, I am 26, and the stresses of my energetic life begin to reveal itself. Using make up almost every day, and sleeping for less than 3 hours at times, are taking a toll on my skin. Wrinkles and fine lines begin to appear. I am no Adaline Bowman but I am glad someone is taking care of my skin until I become my best beautiful.

In college, I felt so young that I veered away from anti-aging products. However, I learned from a skin expert that it is best to start taking care of my skin at a young age. I also learned that using anti-aging products even before I reach 30 years of age would really help my skin age gracefully. Hence, I switched to Olay, and have been using it for 7 satisfying years.  I began with Olay Natural White, and transitioned to Olay Regenerist and Olay Total Effects 3 years ago.

How I started Olay Night Ritual

I have been using my Olay Regenerist Revitalising Cream Cleanser for 3 years now. It is the only thing I use. It washes off make up, and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. Recently, when Sample Room featured Olay’s miracle duo, I learned that it is not enough to use cleanser alone.

Using cleanser sort of disturbs skin’s pH balance. Hence, to restore it, a toner is necessary. The Regenerist Miracle Duo, on the other hand, repairs the cells from within. Together, these did wonders to my skin. I have been using the whole squad of Olay Night Ritual for six days, and the results are fascinating. Check out my raw before and after photos and notice how few lines near my eyes disappeared.

My Olay Night Ritual

I am sure you want to know more about the products. Let me give you a closer look at them.

Step 1: Cleanse with Olay Regenerist Revitalising Cream Cleanser

The cleanser is coloured white, it is creamy, and it has beads that help clean the surface of the skin. It smells good, and a little amount can go a long way. It leaves skin soft and smooth.

Step 2: Tone with Olay Total Effects 7 in One Pore Minimizing Toner

This toner looks a lot like water as any toner would appear. It does not seem to have any scent at all either. A few drops of this to a cotton ball is already enough to cover my entire face, and it is easily absorbed by my skin. I do feel a difference because it leaves my skin softer and feeling fresh from a shower.

Step 3: Treat with Olay Miracle Boost Youth Pre-essence

I had a blooper on my first day of trying this out. I did not know how to open it! I know, just twist the cap but I was too afraid that I might break it despite the cap being of strong quality. *lol* Anyway, the bottle comes with a dropper, and it makes things easier to measure. With it, I am sure that I am not using too much nor too little.

The Olay Miracle Boost has a slight gooey texture to it. It smells weird too like a hint of glue but it is probably the amino peptides. This gooey thing here has peptides which form a long chain of amino acids, and become protein that penetrates deep into the skin. Its ability to go beyond the surface of my skin is what makes it effective. It easily spreads and is easily absorbed by the skin.

Step 4: Moisturise with Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream

The last step is moisturising the skin. The Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is really creamy, and easily spreadable. I find it uncomfortable when I over moisturise my skin, hence, I simply place 10 small dots of this on my face, and just spread them all over. {I’ll probably make a video to make it easier for you to imagine}. It takes a little time for my skin to absorb though. After a minute or two, my face is smooth, firm, and hydrated. Another good thing about this moisturiser is that it can be worn under make up! Woot, woot!

How much does my Olay Night Ritual cost?

Here is how much each Olay products named above costs. Thanks to Sample Room, I got the Olay Miracle Boost Youth Pre-essence, and Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream for free!

Ladies, I am not promising that each of these products will work for your skin as they did to mine but all of them, together, are worth giving a try. I am not going back to just using cleanser. From here on out, it is Olay Night Ritual.
