I've tried a lot of skincare products. A lot. When I was first learning what makes for a good skincare routine I learned all about cleansers, toners, exfoliators, masks, and the different types of moisturizers, how to use them, and what they all do. I wanted to make sure I was doing the best for my skin and I kept up with that routine for years. I bought drugstore products and high-end products and everything in between. It was not only tiring, but expensive.



I am so happy that Olay has one product that does away with all of those. It's a face cleaner, makeup remover, toner, and exfoliator that leaves your skin hydrated, not tight-feeling, and I'll show you exactly how to wash your face using these awesome Daily Facials.


I've written a bit about my mom recommending I start moisturizing early and Olay was the brand of moisturizer that I started with. That was a long time ago and Olay is still going strong and innovating in some amazing ways.



No matter what products I've tried over the years I eventually go back to Olay because I know they work and don't cost an arm and a leg for a month's-worth of product.


Recently, Olay just about blew my mind when I saw these Daily Facials. So...they replace my cleanser, makeup remover, exfoliator, toner, and masks?! A cleanser that's not drying, but actually hydrates?!?! I have to admit, I was a little skeptical even though this was a product from Olay.


It's hard to break a habit that's been ingrained in me since my teen years. How can something that moisturizes also cleanse? How can a facial product cleanse and also tone?


Olay Daily Facials are 4-in-1 facial cleansing cloths that have the cleansing power of a make-up remover scrub, toner, mask and cleanser. These specifically textured facial cloths remove dirt, oil and makeup two times better than basic cleansing while they hydrate, gently exfoliate, and smooth texture in less than one week. 

They're intended for all skin types, use a soap-free formula, and are dermatologist-tested. They're extremely gentle and haven't irritated my sensitive eyes at all. I also can't detect any fragrance, so they're great even for the most sensitive skin.

Carrying a few dry cloths in your luggage instead of multiple travel-sized liquids and creams will also make traveling a lot easier.


I’m loving the #nomakeuprequired trend and now that my skin tone is more even and my skin is so soft, I’m feeling much more confident going barefaced.

The all-in-one dry cloth has 4 distinct benefits: 

• Deeply cleanses – Daily Facials are water-activated and produce a wonderful foaming lather. They effectively remove, dirt, oil and makeup to leave skin feeling deeply cleaned and refreshed. 
• Exfoliates – the textured woven cloth gently exfoliates, so that skin feels softer, looks brighter, and is more even toned (regular wet wipes are un-textured and simply remove makeup from the skin surface). Your skin looks noticeably better. Feel free to skip the makeup!
• Makeup remover – contains gentle ingredients that condition the skin while also serving as makeup remover. 
• Hydrates and nourishes – contains effective Olay conditioners to hydrate and nourish the skin. They leave the face feeling lightly hydrated vs. dry or tight. 

After trying these, guess what hit the trash can. Why would I spend so much time and money on so many products that I don't need anymore?

Olay Daily Facials give a more complete clean than a micellar water, makeup remover wipe, or a liquid cleanser. It's a better clean that leads to healthier-looking skin. Healthy skin means I can skip the foundation. If you're thinking about joining the no-makeup movement, healthy skin is where to start.

My skincare routine is ridiculously simple now. I kind of feel like I'm cheating.


How to use Olay Daily Facials:
1. Wet with water
2. Rub to lather
3. Cleanse (even around the eyes)
4. Rinse (for best results, use the cloth rinsed out with water)
5. Throw away (don't flush them!)

Afterward, my skin feels clean and fresh, but also moisturized and comfortable. During the day I can do without a moisturizer and at night I add on an anti-aging cream and I'm done.

As a busy working mom, I'm all about simplifying my life and this one was a doozy. The time-suck that was my skincare routine is gone and I don't miss it at all.
