This is sponsored content BlogHer and Olay.
My skin has been starting to show the signs of aging. As in…age spots! ;(
I have not felt like I had the time or money to spend on it. However, I am finally at the point where I want to do something about it. And look what dropped in my lap!
I was lucky enough to be chosen to review Olay’s New Total Effects Cooling Hydration. 7 anti-aging benefits in one lightweight, refreshing formula. Their claim is- Cooling, lightweight hydration for younger looking skin.
Um, yes, sign please sign me up! ;)
I am so excited about this for many reasons. The first reason is that I have always loved Olay products. They are the first product that I could find for a daily moisturizer that also included sunscreen. I have loved that moisturizer. I have had offers to review other products on my site and have turned them down because I either don’t use the product, do not need the product, or do not feel the product is in line with my blog. However, I know that if I personally am looking for products for my face that many of my readers might also be in the same boat that I am in! ;)
After just one week with the product I already had people telling me that my face looked fresher and younger. They could not put their finger on it, as they did not know I had been using this product! Now I have been using it for almost a month and love it. My age spots have even minimized already! I was not expecting to see that, honestly!
I would love to have a discussion about this, here. What signs of aging are you seeing or feeling? How much change are you just willing to work with, and at what point do you want to try to fight back, if at all? What products do you use?

I agree! No more dark circles!
I've been noticing dark circles under my eyes and tiny little wrinkles between my eyebrows. I currently don't use any products but would love to find a great one!!
I have lots of freckles and I've noticed them changing in color and looking more like age spots (UGH) and also I have been seeing those dreaded wrinkles between my eyebrows!
So...does this work on 2-small-kids-and-baby-number-three-on-the-way circles under the eyes? :) madebymyrnie(at)gmail(dot)com
I have uneven skin tone
read official rules!
I am so glad it is not just me! I look at everyone else and I swear I don't notice dark circles or uneven skin on them. But I totally see it on mine! ;)
I've noticed lines between my eyes but I started using Olay Regenerist and have noticed a big difference. Thanks for the chance to win.

I have always been bad about taking care of my face. The Olay products look like the perfect place to start.
I'm pregnant with baby number 7 and the "mask of pregnancy" is horrendous! The big problem is that it didn't go away after my last baby and has just gotten larger this time. I wonder if Total Effects would work for me too.
I notice my uneven skin tone. I don't really hav wrinkles yet but I know they will come.
I love Olay's Regenerist products. No one ever told me that wrinkles would start so early. :) They've been with me too long already. I do have dark circles, like others, that I'd love to get rid of for good!
I am starting to fine lines and some wrinkles.
Lately my skin just hasn't been looking (or feeling) as soft and shiny as it used to. I miss my dewy glow.

I'm seeing wrinkles and blotches and red spots on my face. I try to remember to moisturize, but I sometimes forget

I need to start taking better care of my skin and I think this would be a great place to start!
I have combination skin and uneven skin tone. I use olay daily wash and a moisurizer with SPF but need something more for my aging skin. I want to find the "right" product and total effects might be just what I need.
I've always had dark circles under my eyes, but they seem to be getting more noticeable.
I would LOVE to try this product! As I am approaching 40 and need a little skin help!
I'm noticing dark circles and fine lines around my eyes. I've recently started using an eye cream and am realizing that it's probably time to start using something on my entire face.
i love olay products too! my great-grandmother has always used the original formula and her skin is beautiful. i am starting to notice age spots as well. i use sunscreen daily.
thanks for sharing!

With the wether starting to get cold and dry.... I am always looking for something new !

As I've gotten older, I've seen small little lines appear ... hate those. As for fighting back, I guess I've been doing that all my life because I learned, very young, that the way to have beautiful skin later in life is to take care of it early in life. So I've always moisturized and used sun screen. Except for those few lines, my skin looks pretty good. I use Olay products for daily use (the moisturizers with sun screen in them) and about once a week I give my skin a good dose of shea butter ... love it's moisturizing, healing properties.

I do use Olay Regenerist--love the way it feels. I know my face is looking older but I'm more concerned about my weight...
thanks!

Like you I haven't used too many beauty products but in the past I remember my Mom using Olay moisturizers and (after sneeking some of hers) I still remember the smell of Olay products, very beautiful, you couldn't help but to feel better after smelling them :)
Itty bitty crows feet are popping up! I'm not seeing much else (thankfully!). Right now I just use mild cleansers and a little lotion as needed.

I have the dark under-eye circles too. Used to use some of that green-tinted concealer and sometimes it helped.
I am seeing lines fanning out from my eyes, my pores are too big, and my skin just looks dull. I just started using Avon and a L'Oreal cleanser.
I am not seeing too much yet since I am 25 (please don't shoot me LOL) BUT I know its coming. I hope to find ways to diminish lines and wrinkles as they come.

Wrinkles on my forehead when I smile!
This cream is dynamite!!
Physically I am noticing more wrinkles here and there. Am I willing to do anything about it? Not really. Just stay out of the sun is the extent of it. When I feel down about it, I remind myself that every human ages and just to get over myself.

Dark circles under my eyes: they're hereditary, I've had them most of my life, but as I get older they get darker. Sigh.
I'm starting to see wrinkles around the eyes which I'm not thrilled with. I use a daily moisturizer, but haven't looked into other speciality products as of yet to help. Guess I should get on it before it gets worse...
I love Olay products! I have dark circles and they seem to be getting darker as I get older. uggg!
I am seeing signs of aging and have started having a facial once a month!
Wrinkles under my eyes--ugh! I have been using an eye cream from Lancome but have not seen a difference--any suggestions?
I have definitely started noticing wrinkles forming, but the worst thing for me is my joints get sore! I wish I knew what to do to keep that from getting worse!
I notice wrinkles around my eyes, bags and sagging. I'd love to get rid of them.

I started to get a lot of freckles. This made me realize that I need to use a separate sunscreen (Neutrogen Liquid) in addition to the moisturizer with SPF (Olay Complete).

I've always had somewhat problem skin so I use several products. I mainly use all natural ingredient based products.

Well, I am getting older and it wasn't until I hit 50 that I really notice it more. Wrinkles have increased of course but I feel the most important thing to do for yourself is to get plenty of sleep, we heal in our sleep the most, and moisturize! Eating good would also help in the process of aging.

Just turned 35 and realized the days of not caring for my skin are over. Thanks for the review!
I'm starting to notice fine lines on my forehead. I'd use a moisturizer with sunscreen in the morning and would also use a moisturizer at night.

Those lines around my eyes and above my lip keep getting bigger. I now use a moisturizer with sunscreen in it and I also moisturize before bed each night hoping to fight some of the aging signs.

Right now I am having precancerous blue light treatments, so I'm not using any skin care treatments per doctor's orders....after that will discuss with him as to what to do.
No signs of aging but my skin is not as radiant as before.

My skin care regimen exists solely because of my wife. If it wasn’t for her, using chapstick would be the extent of my efforts. She introduced me to sunblock, and moisturizer.
I’d like something to smooth out fine lines.

I have wrinkles...don't plan to fight them. I feel that they are like badges of honor showing the world that I have lived. That said, I do use lotion on my dry face. I like Beauty Without Cruelty brand.
