I'm Now A Believer, I Think.

I've been hearing and reading about people swearing by Olay Total Effects but I haven't really considered using it on my sensitive skin because I'm exclusive to what my dermatologist prescribes because it's worked fine for me since I was in college.

A few weeks ago, I ran out of my derma sunblock and since there's no one I know coming here from the Philippines until September, I had no choice but to find a replacement. I didn't want to spend a lot for something I won't be using for long. I wanted to try VMV Hypoallergenics Armada but I couldn't find it here in Dubai, and I still needed a little more convincing to get Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF.

One morning, I chanced upon Olay Total Effects SPF 15 in my husband's toiletries and I decided to give it a try. I once convinced him to use it after hearing a story about a friend's husband's skin which improved after using Olay.

It's been over two weeks since that morning and I must say that I'm impressed. My skin has become softer and moisturized and I've lost the problematic flaky skin around my eyes. I'm not sure about the effects on my pores but my face in general has definitely brightened up.

This doesn't really fit in my daily beauty ritual but I am making changes to include it somehow. I've decided I want this for long term use. So yes, I think I'm now a believer. :)
