As the summer comes to an end, I’d have to say I’m proud of the consistency I’ve had with my skincare routine. Incorporating moisturizer year-round has been a key component for my clear and ageless skin. As a full-time flight attendant, I’ve struggled with dry spots from living at 36,000 feet. No matter what time of the year, season or destination, flying dries out my skin; and senior mamas (the legends who’ve come before me) are always reminding me of the importance of skincare while I’m young. With the right products and attention, luminous skin can be achieved!

First things first: skin type. Are you more on the oily or dry side, or a combination of the two like me? The search for quality products that agree with my skin has been tedious. But I’ve learned that the most important component outside of a good daily cleanser is moisturizer.

As long as I’m washing my face consistently, especially after wearing makeup, pairing my daily cleanser with the Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer is a light enough finish for any weather, particularly warmer destinations.

I love it because the lightweight formula doesn’t leave my skin feeling heavy, especially since I don’t wear much makeup or often go bare faced. And most importantly, it doesn’t impede on my 5 min touch up (aka my rushed 5 min application of makeup while running out the door); as it dries in quickly and perfect for my combination skin. Since my skin is also sensitive and prone to clogged pores, I try to use fragrance-free skincare, and thankfully, the Regenerist Whip comes fragrance-free.

During the winter months, or high-flying days I naturally lean towards something a little heavier. The Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is another option for normal to dry skin and has the same active ingredients as the Regenerist Whip which also comes in fragrance-free (if needed). Even though the cream takes a bit longer to set in, the hydration given throughout the day is very well worth it. This Micro-Sculpting Cream will is a great addition to my regime with combo skin.

So, what’s all the hype about? These two KEY ingredients: Niacinamide and Amino-Peptide Complex II

The Olay Whip and Micro-Sculpting Cream both contain Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), a key component the body needs to repair daily. Perfect for all skin types, it reduces large pores (that I definitely suffer from) and helps with those stubborn facial lines by my mouth (what can I say, I’m a happy gal!)

Amino-Peptide Complex II regenerates surface cells, strengthens the skin’s ability to hold moisture, improves skin elasticity, smoothness, and firmness. I’ve noticed that applying Olay Whip before the beach and Micro-Sculpting Cream at night made a noticeable difference in the redness I usually experience from a day in the sun (even with sunscreen).
