LBS Beauty Review: Olay Fresh Effects {Dew Over!} Moisturizer

olay-fresh-effects-reviewOne thing I tend to struggle with once the weather changes is which products in my skincare regimen to switch out and replace. As you probably know, some moisturizers and cleansers just don’t work the same in winter as they do for summer. Depending on your skin type – whether oily, dry or combination – you may have to opt for lighter products in the summer and heavier products in the winter like myself.

I always find myself on a quest for the perfect lightweight moisturizer that helps my skin look dewy and instantly refreshed (no sleep required – #newmommystruggle) without being oily or heavy.

Enter Olay Fresh Effects {Dew Over!} Hydrating Gel Moisturizer I’ve been a fan of Olay products since my teenage days. They have some of the best budget-friendly cleansers and moisturizers on the market.

This new formulation for their Fresh Effects collection is really great for women like me with combination skin. It provides just enough cooling moisture to give you that refreshed look, but it isn’t so heavy and oily that your pores end up clogged. I always have that issue when switching moisturizers in between seasons.

One thing I noticed is that is really sinks into the skin immediately so it doesn’t “sit” on top of your skin. This is great for summertime wear and for layering under my makeup. The worst thing is when my moisturizer is too heavy then I have to layer makeup on top. It’s just becomes…too much.

Bonus: it smells absolutely yummy. It’s infused with essence of Honeysuckle and White Tea. A plus when I have a case of the Mondays. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for a light, refreshing skin moisturizer. People always ask me about my skin and how I keep it looking amazing. I maintain a very simple regimen of trusted products like this one and I just keep them in the rotation. Simple and easy. You find something you love? Stick with it.
