I jump at the chance to try Olay products because they never seem to disappoint. I have tried other brands of facial moisturizers in the past but I always end up coming back to my Olay. So when I was offered the chance to try the new Olay® Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer, I said sign me up!
I was so surprised when this product arrived — it really looks so cool. Granted, I don’t generally purchase a product based on appearance, but this presentation really caught my eye. It looks like swirled moisturizer and foundation all in one. I couldn’t wait to try this, so after my morning shower I gave it a whirl. My skin has been a little all over the place since the birth of my son, Caspian Finn. And with these chilly Chicago winters, staying moisturized is super important. I thought the moisturization factor was great and I didn’t feel like I needed to put anything else on.
Sometimes when I’m racing out the door to get Savannah to preschool, all I have time for is moisturizer. But what I thought was really great was that this product offered so much more than moisturization — it moisturized my skin and gave me an even, smooth-colored skin tone. Definite bonus! Not to mention the fact that the feel of my skin was awesome. Mr. Caspian is still waking up during the night. And while I haven’t had many issues in the past with circles under my eyes or eye-puffiness, I think baby number three is catching up with me. Many mornings I feel compelled to use concealer under my eyes but, again, I felt like this product took care of eye puffiness too.
Do you save time by using double-duty types of products?

sadly my skin gets neglected a lot.
I use sunscreen. While it’s still moist on my face, I dust on powder. No foundation for me. The sunscreen holds it in place. In the winter, I use extra moisturizer under my powder.
Moisturize morning and night – especially on my face, neck and hands. My Grandma has used olive oil on her skin all her life and looks fantastic at a young 92!!!
I’m an Oil of Olay girl as well. Love the moisturizers with the UV protection in them. I’m super fair with blonde hair and blue eyes so my dermatologist told me years ago that my skin shouldn’t see the light of day without sunscreen and I took it to heart!

I use Oil of Olay everything and love it. I moisturize, that is the key and wash your face morning and night. My grandmother always said to take care of your skin and it will never fail you and at 86 when she died, she had beautiful skin and she used Oil of Olay.
Thank your review and for the chance to win!
Did you now that they sell Oil of Olay in Germany too?
But the name is slightly different, it is named Oil of Olaz there 🙂
I used it for a long time, perhaps I should switch back and use it again.
Greetings,

PS looks really cool
I love Oil of Olay. It has been around for a long time, and I love it.

i exfoliate once a week, and to simplify i use a tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation

I don’t use harsh soaps on my face, and I use moisturizer with an SPF of 30 (when I remember). Baby wipes can do a good gentle job of removing make up in a pinch.

I like using moisturizer with sunscreen.
I wash and moisturize every day, twice. I am trying to remember sunscreen, but it’s best if I have an spf lotion.
I use moisturizer. I also have to drink a lot of water, or else my face is so dry! I am not consistent with sunscreen, but with summer approaching I make it a goal to use it more.

I don’t always wear foundation, but when I do I prefer the kind with lotion.

I really don’t take care of my skin as much as I need to due to my very sensitive skin. I just wash and moisturize.
Foundation and moisturizer combined looks like a great idea!
I use SPF lotion to protect my skin, and I combine this lotion with cover up often to create my own 2 in 1 lotion..

I LOVE Oil of Olay. I have used their original beauty fluid for years. Nothing can compare to their formula. Especially since I have sensitive skin. Absolutely would love to try this product. Definitely will be checking it out the next time I go to the store.
I moisturize and especially during winter it seems my skin drinks it in. I’m also using SPF products.
Thank you for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

I’ve been using Aveeno tinted moisurizer with SPF30, but it has a gritty texture I don’t love. I’ve often used Oil of Olay products in the past, and think I’ll have to try Total Effects next time.
I moisturize twice daily; once after washing my face and again before bed. Sometimes I use a tinted moisturizer to save a bit of time but I’m never pleased with the coverage.

I definitely moisturize daily, I remember when I was in my teens and twenties, I never moisturized, I thought since I had oily skin I didn’t need to, I was so wrong!
I used Olay products for years, and then several years ago, for some reason I changed to a different brand. Bought Olay Age Effects a couple of weeks ago and now I wonder why I ever stopped using Olay. Skin looks and feels great!
I moisturize plus use a tinted moisturizer with SPF protection. I live in a dry climate at a high altitude so I am constantly battling dry skin and have to always wear sunscreen.
I’m an Olay girl, too! Moisturize every day!
As I have gotten older, my skin has become more sensitive. After my shower in the morning, I use Oil of Olay total effects moisturizer. My skin is very oily and it’s one of the few things I can use that does not clog my pores.
I’ve surfed the net more than three hours today, and your blog was the coolest of all. Thanks a lot, it is really useful to me

I 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.
My morning beauty routine is quite a rush. I try to save time on my skin care routine by choosing products that have dual/multiple functions. Such as SPF-ed moisturizer or moisturized body wash, etc. The Olay Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer sounds amazing and I need to give it a try! Thanks for the detailed review!

I started Moisturizing when I was very young. Wish we had know about sun damage then. But now I use sunscreen too. Makeup that has it all is great.
Great Giveaway. Thanks for the chance.
I avoid tanning always but I do need to do more to protect my skin from unintentional exposure to sun, such as when I am driving. I wear sunglasses to protect the eye area but that leaves a lot of face still exposed.

One thing I do to save time 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!
https://twitter.com/#!/tnshadylady/status/196368031641899008
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.
The only double-duty products I have are moisturizer with sunscreen but this is something I’d love to try.
