Oh yeah, it's another sponsored post and giveaway. I'm on a roll with these! They are pretty fun, and I get to try stuff and give my honest opinion and give something away to you guys.
I received a bottle of Olay® Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer to try and review. I was pretty skeptical because I have skin like a freak of nature. I get dry and peely really easily, and my cheeks turn bright red if I use a product that doesn't agree with me.
Quite honestly, this review would be a lot more amusing if my skin went bat-shit crazy while using this stuff. Sadly, it did not. I actually really liked it a lot!
My skin is crappy, as previously discussed. I have giant pores on my nose and T-zone, and I have a big ugly sun spot on my right cheek. I'm starting to notice the dreaded fine lines around and between my eyes. I have zero skin-care routine, so when this Olay opportunity came up I was all over it. This product is supposed to help minimize spots and fight the appearance of discoloration, while also combating the seven signs of aging.
So let me tell you what I really think about this product, and then I'll tell you how you can enter for a chance to win a $50 Visa Gift Card.

wash my face at night and then moisturize
wash my face with olive oil/castor oil combination and use olive oil as my moisturizer. Have been doing it for years.
I moisturize mainly at night before bed. During the summer I like to use moisturize with sunscreen in it for daytime.

I wash my face in the shower with kirkland brand soap, then as I get ready I apply lubriderm sensitive skin lotion to my face, then add my poweder foundation, takes me all of 5 minutes, not much of a routine.
I wash my face with an exfoliating wash in the mornIng and then use a moisturizer with SPF, I use a mild wash at night and the same moisturizer afterward. My skin sucks though so maybe I should change it up!

I wash with Olay face was in the morning and before bed and use Neutrogena lotion. I use St. Ives apricot scrub when I'm feeling scaly.
I use an Oil of Olay warming peel every other night for moisture. Morning I use Neutrogena toner and a light moisturizer by BeneFit.
I tried this moisturizer yesterday as a sample at WalMart and I really liked it because it left my skin baby soft.I love the fact it has an SPF for my pasty white skin.
I use a heavy moisturizer at night, and a sun block during the day.

I wash my face with a light exfoliating cleanser and then use a moisturizer with SPF. I do this at night and in he morning. Not sure why I need SPF at night, but that's what I do.

When I shower I wash an exfoliator and use a moisturizer with sunscreen. At night I usually use Olay regenerist.
i wash my face with Basics face wash, and I use a moisturizer from Orgins at night and in the morning!
I've been using the Clinique 3-step routine since I was 12. I will never switch, but it would be nice for Olay to give me $50. :-)
I use baby wipes to clean my face and that's about the end of it. Sad. I break out like a teen and am starting to show my age. I turn 30 this year and would love to have a grown up skin care routine but finances do not allow for it! This would be way helpful!!
I'm in my late twenties and still break out...I don't have a routine besides morning/night wash because I am constantly trying new things to help!
Moisture is my issue. I've recently started using HEMPZ products and love them. While they are expensive they are helping me to conquer the dry skin issues. I shower with the scrub and moisturize with the lotion straight out of the shower.
Wash and moisturize. I love the Origins line. Try their GinZing eye cream. It works like a charm for puffiness!
I use clearasil face wash in the shower and clean and clear dry skin cream in the morning under my foundation.
christina.derene@gmail.com
I just rinse my face with water and sometimes I put moisturizer on if I remember. I really should take better care of my skin...
I try to use moisturizer with SPF daily...
In the morning, I just rinse my face with water. Then I use under-eye cream and face moisturizer with SPF. (Whatever brand catches my eye, I like to mix it up and try new things.) At night I use eye make-up remover, then I wash my face with cleanser, then use under-eye cream and a night moisturizer. Again, whatever brand catches my eye or sends me a coupon. :)
First things first: breakfast nutella for the win!
As for skin care, A.M. I start with either a moisturizing scrubby or foaming wash in the shower, top with Neutrogina Oil Free Sensative Skin moisturiser and a Boot No. 7 eye gel to help with the circles/puffies under the eyes. P.M. I wash with either Cetaphil or a different scrubby wash and hit my forehead only with a Garnier Intensive Anti-Wrinkle cream.
But I think something needs to change because recently my forehead has decided to illustrate it's unhappiness with a slew of red bumps. They're teh sexxxy.
Take care of my skin? That's funny. I throw on moisturizer before I put my foundation on, then hope I'm not too tired before I go to bed to take it off.
I do nothing. My skin NEEDS a regimen but it has nothing. I wash with water in the mornings and dry my face with a towel. Not even a microfiber towel. Just a regular terrycloth towel. No moisturizer, no special facial washes nothing. I'm in my upper 30's and need something though.
I use cetaphil cleanser and lotion when I think about it. I'm a sahm, so I rarely wear makeup and even more rare is the occasion when I look in the mirror! On special occasions, I use clinique 7 day scrub. Makes me feel all fancy.
I use Mary Kay. I sell it just so I can get a discount for myself. Ha! I used to use Clinique, but my skin got used to it... and MK is cheaper. :)
I use a moisturizing soap to remove any makeup and right now I am using an Aveeno SPF lotion to protect my skin from the sun.

I LOVE your review.
I just use a St. Ives exfoliating face wash in the shower and an Olay oil-free moisterizer. Not a lot.
I recently had major facial skin drama and spent a lot of time at the dermatologist. I have the oily/dry combo problem too and had just accepted that some of my face would be terribly dry in the winter. Until! Until my doc told me to use cerave to wash my face instead of neutrogena, which I thought was good. I had no idea how undry my skin could be! I can't rely on it to remove makeup as well but lovin the cerave facial wash! I also use the "Dan Kern Regimen" to banish my awful PCOS-acne. That plus birth control is the only thing that has ever worked for me.
Love tinted moisturizer under a powder base. Sad to be battling acne and wrinkles simultaneously. Ugh.
I've found drinking copious amount of water throughout the day has totally changed my complexion!
I use Aveeno gentle exfoliator when I shower and makeup removers when I don't have a chance to wash my face.
I do not really have much of a skincare routine. I will try just about anything, so I generally just use whatever is on sale/someone has given me-- I do like products, so I am always happy to try something for the first time!
I do the oil cleanse method, and use a little bit of burts bee's acne control lotion if I get any dryness.
I use Mary Kay (and sell it too like a previous poster) - hands down the best skin care regime (and easiest I've come across). You should always cleanse in the morning and at night no matter what products you use.. also - always exfoliate before you put on moisturizer! People try to 'cover' dead skin with tons of moisturizer but if you dont exfoliate first its like watering a dead tree :) Have a great day!
I really only wash my face in the shower in the morning. Ever since I started using Bare Minerals, I break out if I wash it more often. But I've started using just the tiniest smidge of virgin coconut oil on my face just after I get out of the shower in the morning and suddenly the last of my acne has disappeared, my skin is amazingly soft, and I don't have any more peely bits.
I wash it (sometimes). I moisturize daily (moisture surge by clinique) - I too have a case a of the crappy skin... yay for eczema well into my 20s...
I like to use moisturizer with SPF. I always make sure I wash my face and remove make up before I go to bed.

I am a product whore. I use Philosophy wash and rotate between Clinique and Oil of Olay Moisturizer. Sometimes, I use coconut oil on my face, too.
I use the Clinique 3 step. I especially love their moisturizer that comes in gel form. Goes on nice and light and doesn't leave a greasy feeling!

I use a Clearasil face scrub in the shower because I like the scrubby beads. Then I use a dark spot minimizier from Garnier above my uppper lip to hopefully eliminate my mom-stache (it's not hair, it's dark skin because having kids messes with your body in more ways than you can imagine), followed by a moisturizer made by Garnier. Don't ask me the names of any of these things because I don't know them. I also don't know if any of them are working as they should. I really need to pay more attention.
I wash my face at night, exfoliate in the morning. Use LOTS of moisturizer with sunscreen. And I only use products that state on the label they are non-comodogenic.
I use Olay or Neutrogena 2x/day and def with SPF because I apparently suck at keeping my skin safe after getting skin cancer at 24. Damn So Cal summers!
I use the Proactiv system. I know it's advertised for teenagers, but it's the only thing that keeps my post-childbearing acne under control!
I like anything that comes in a wipe. Easy and I don't have to dry my face afterwards.
I use clinique make up remover and wash with soap. I also use moisturizer as needed.
I'm pretty low-key (lazy) about it. I wash my face at night with Clean and Clear and have a Bobbi Brown moisturizer that I use sporadically.
I'm so bad about my skin. I need to do better.
I was daily with Clean and Clear and that's about it. No moisturizing, no exfoliating. Bad, bad Sarah.
I just switched to using neutrogena bar soap in the mornings...I'm terrible about washing my face at night, but I also don't really wear makeup (although, I probably need to...) I also moisturize every day with SPF50 - easily burned. :P
I wash my face with Neutrogena face wash, the moisturize with Nivea white.
I use sunscreen daily. Olay moisturizer is one of my favorites.

I have only used "real" products once! It was a brand called GLIMPSE by XANGO. It was awesome, but expensive. Now I just use Dove soap. I need some moisturizer. I did see something about how coconut oil was good as a moisturizer so the other night I put that on and it seemed to work great!
put lotion on right after I get out of the shower and I put on a moisturizer with sunscreen everyday...and I don't wear makeup which saves a lot of time and my skin.
I use Olay Regenerist skincare day and night to keep my skin moist and healthy, thank you.

I use a skincare line called L'Bri. Aloe is the main ingrediant.
I cleanse with L'Bri cleanser using my clarisonic, use a toner, put on eye gel, then moisturizer. After that I use a tinted moisturizer.

I use "Purity" by Philosophy to wash my face in the morning and at night. In the evening after I wash my face, I use Philosophy's "Help Me" followed by a moisturizer. In the morning, I use a moisturizer with an SPF. If I'm feeling really gung-ho in my skin care routine, I will use my Clarisonic Mia along with my face wash. On a rare occassion, I use an eye cream by Philosophy.
i always use a moisturizer with sunscreen in it

Basically two steps - cleansing and moisturizing.
I like Cetaphil in the winter since my skin gets so dry and something exfoliating in the summer. I use Oil of Olay moisturizer year-round.
I apply moisturizer now that I've reached another decade. My skin was oily in my teens, but now is mostly dry and a little oily in the T-zone. I like when the moisturizer has SPF for day and a tint so I can skip the foundation every chance I get.

Witch hazel in the evening and moisturizing sunscreen in the mornings. Simple.
my skin looks rough as hell in my 30s! I just wash and moisterize once a day, but I don't think either product I'm using is right for my skin.
I use the basic Olay moisturizer in the morning. Occassionally if I remember I'll use a night cream, but I remember like ever 20th night to use it.
I wash my face at night with face wash, then moisturize with whatever I have on hand. I definitely need to start a better routine. Now that I'm in my early 30s I'm noticing all that "stuff" on my face, too. Uneven skin tone, a sun spot, fine lines...oh no! :)
One thing I do is apply a mask 2 or 3 times a week first thing in the morning. Then it has time to work and dry while I make coffee, get clothes ready, etc. By the time I take my shower, I just wash it off in the shower and my skin feels so soft!

I try to take the time in the morning to wash my face as soon as I get up, rinse with cool water and then pat dry. I usually wait a bit until after I've had my coffee to apply moisturizer with SPF for the day. At night, I always apply moisturizer before I got to bed.
I really like Arcona Magic White Ice moisturizer but it's way too expensive for my budget.
