I can no longer deny the effect of the years on my skin. I can lines, wrinkles, and of course, the more obvious age spots. Even my pimple scars are looking more apparent.
So anyway, I decided that I needed to do something or at least put something on my face. Last year, I bought Olay Total Effects Moisturizer and Eye Cream. After several months, I still kept on complaining to my husband that it is not doing what it is supposed to do.
But this year, my skin’s condition worsened. I got myself an apricot scrub by St. Ives and then I used Olay again, and more religiously this time. At the very least, I use Olay once a day and I would scrub my face four times a week, as recommended on the label. Indeed, my face is more supple and the lines are not very obvious anymore. Well, the age spots are still there but my skin really looks younger.
So I guess, all I needed was some discipline.
I am tempted to change my moisturizer to the St. Ives Collagen Elastin Moisturizer because it also worked for me when I was in the US where the weather was cold. But I think I should stick to what is working now, after all, it was like 7 years since I last used St. Ives.
Other than these two products, I cleanse my face with papaya soap. That keeps the pimples off my face.
