6 Summer Skincare Tips

June 27, 2017

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. Thank you for supporting the brands we love as they support us.

It’s official, summer has started and what that means for most of us is that we need to update our skin care routines accordingly as the scorching heat, environmental aggressors, and humidity begins to steal our natural glow. It’s a lot easier to forget the important things in a skin care routine during the summer months because it’s so beautiful outside and you just want to go and enjoy the weather. So, I’ve created these tips and one rockstar hydrating, anti-aging product to share for even the quickest of routines.

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that we do a Dry Skin Diary series where I test out and review products for those of us with dry skin, the rockstar product we are going to be chatting about today is from the Olay Regenerist line, It’s the Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream. It’s not only an anti-aging cream but it’s also a hydrating powerhouse, which lends itself perfectly to our quest for summer skin care. Both the product and skin care tips I’m sharing today are for any skin type though so you can easily fit it into your routine.

1|| HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE!

Make water your best friend. Seriously, do it! Getting in that daily recommendation of water is an integral part of a summer skin care routine. Not only will water help you to feel fresh during the hot months but it will keep your skin hydrated. Hydrated skin will appear more plump and radiant, so you look fresh as well. When your skin is dry and dehydrated, you tend to look tired, older and dull. You could also opt for foods that have a high water concentration during the summer months like watermelon and berries to keep yourself looking and feeling fresh.

2|| LESS REALLY IS MORE 

When it comes to makeup during the summer months, reach for a BB Cream or tinted moisturizer instead of a heavy foundation. Multi-task with a cheek and lip tint to give you a nice natural glow, skip the eyeshadow and just use some waterproof mascara to give your eyes that super awake look. Of course, don’t forget your SPF.

3|| SMOOTH SURFACES

Gently exfoliate your skin. Use a light scrub or your favorite cleansing brush to rid your skin of dead skin cells and clean out your pores. This is going to allow you to have a gorgeous all over healthy glow to your skin. Going in with the right product after you exfoliate is an integral part of this routine as well.

4|| FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT

I cannot stress this enough, if you’re craving that sun-kissed glow, fake it. If a weekly airbrush tanning session isn’t in the cards, pick up a sunless tanning lotion at the local drugstore and DIY your own sun-kissed glow at home. Grab a matte bronzer to warm up your face without sitting in the sun for hours. SPF is super important under the scorching sun in the summertime, without it, you’re basically cashing in a one-way ticket to dull, dehydrated, and older looking skin. Fake it until you make it, I promise you will thank me later.

5|| MAKE IT A DOUBLE

Anti-aging and hydration go hand in hand. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser and cool water will refresh your skin and prepare it for your anti-aging skin care products. Hydration is one of the key benefits for younger women seeking preventative anti-aging measures.

6|| KISS YOUR WRINKLES GOODBYE

All of these summertime aggressors can lead to wrinkles and that’s just something that we have no time for, am I right? This is where our preventative measures come in. You want an anti-aging cream that is packed with hydration to fight the signs of aging and keep your skin looking plump and firm 24/7. An independent test by the Good Housekeeping Institute concluded that Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream outperforms 10 top prestige creams, including one with a $440 price tag. That’s why I’ve made it a daily part of my summer skin care routine, coming in at $26 you best believe I’m going to reach for something that actually works instead of shelling out $400+ on a cream that may or may not work.

I’m a self-proclaimed beauty junkie and I have tried it all. From super high-end, crazy expensive anti-aging creams to drugstore options. And you do not, I repeat, do not have to spend the big bucks to achieve beautiful skin. Like I said earlier, the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is a moisturizing powerhouse, and my bar is set super high as someone who suffers from dry skin year-round.

The Good Housekeeping Institute’s Beauty Lab conducted clinical and blinded consumer studies, where scientists collected more than 10,000 hydration measurements and Olay rose to the top.

  • FAST-ACTING: At the three-hour mark, Olay moisturized 400% better than a cream nearly 18 times its price and beat all other products tested.
  • LONG-LASTING HYDRATION:  Olay increased moisture by 50% on average over a 24-hour period.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT TEXTURE: In blind comparisons, consumers preferred Olay 80% of the time over expensive creams, reporting that it felt “rich” without being heavy.
  • FIRMING & PLUMPING INGREDIENTS: Formulated with powerhouse ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, Olay improved skin’s texture by 10% in four weeks.

With results like that, it’s only natural that the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is making it out of the dry skin diary and getting added directly to the holy grail bin.

AFTER

You can see my results for yourself and I think you’ll notice how much plumper and firmer my skin appears in the after photo. This is absolutely because of how hydrating the Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream is, for my dry skin, it always looks its best when it’s moisturized and full of hydration. I’ve been using it for about two weeks now and I can already see that the wrinkles around my eyes are less noticeable and I don’t look as tired. My skin appears brighter and overall feels super hydrated. Usually, in the summer, I start to notice my dry patches around midday and that hasn’t been happening since I started using the Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream in my anti-aging summer skincare routine. I’m rating this a 10/10 and plan to continue to use it!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣

So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣

Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
