Introducing Olay Active Botanicals!

I have a new favorite line up of skin products from Olay! These truly are my new favorites! Olay Active Botanicals leave my skin feeling fresh, clean and hydrated!  A first for Olay skincare in the U.S., all products in the new Active Botanicals contain extracts of snow mushroom. I have to admit that I have never heard of the benefits of this but I found this rather interesting! Used for thousands of years by Chinese women to help keep skin moist, soft and pliable, this natural ingredient can hold up to 500x its weight in water, making it one of the most effective botanicals to provide and maintain skin hydration.

My favorite is the Refreshing Gel Cleanser! I love how just a little bit foams up and cleans my combination skin. Sometimes I have a difficult time finding the right cleanser because of my combination skin but this one works great! It works fantastic on my dry areas but also works great on the oily areas. My skin over all feels more hydrated too! Retails for $5.99, which is a great price for this one!

The Moisturizing Toner would be my second favorite! I love that this one is 99% alcohol-free and I use this once in the morning and once at night. It preps your skin before using the moisturizer and my skin feels really clean after using this one! Retails for $14.99.

There is also the Moisturizing Day Lotion and I like how light-weight this one is and love that it doesn’t feel greasy on my face. I use it in the morning and my face feels softer all day long. It seems to work well under makeup too. Retails for $14.99.

The last two products in the line up are the Intensive Night Cream and the Overnight Moisture Mask. The Intensive Night Cream features a snow mushroom hydra complex that provides skin with up to 24 hours of hydration. I love how gentle this one is and my skin feels really soft after I use it. Retails for $14.99. The Overnight Moisture Mask actually would be my third favorite! It is an oil-free, gel-cream formula. This mask actually stays on your face and absorbs into your skin as you sleep. I use this one twice a week (as suggested) instead of the Intensive Night Cream. I love it! Retails for $14.99.

I know my skin loves all these products because I can tell that my skin is a lot less dry, and much more hydrated.

All products are available at Target locations nationwide and Target.com.
