In L♥ve With: Olay Body Bars!

Posted on the 04 November 2014 by Genzelkisses

A lot of women now a days wanted to achieve that healthy white skin. Well, I love whitening products but not to the point that I want my skin looking paper white. I like natural fairness of the skin that’s of course, evenly toned. The problem these days are, there are a lot of whitening soaps or products that you can see in the market but some gives unwanted effects such as peeling, patchy skin, dry skin, and worst, burned skin if not used properly.

I’ve found the solution girls! I’m going to share with you the products that I’ve been using to have brighter skin without suffering from dryness and itchiness of common whitening products. I believe you’ve at least heard about Olay body bars right? But I guess some of you might have tried these before as well.

These Olay body bars are the soaps that I’m currently using for my body because I have other product for the face. You can also use this on your face if you prefer soaps instead of facial washes. I do it alternately like, after I finished the small bar (vitamin C variant), I will move to the next variant (with papaya extract). Olay is known as the number 1 facial skincare brand worldwide and these soaps have the same formulation with their skin creams! Who among you ladies have tried their creams as part of your daily skincare routine? Their most popular one I think is the Total effects that’s anti-aging right? Based on research I also knew that these are made especially for us Filipinas!

What do Olay Natural White Bars can do to your skin?

1. They promise All-in-one Fairness which means, Olay Natural White bars exfoliate, brighten, and even out your skin tone.

2. It leaves the skin soft and smooth. Unlike other whitening soaps that make your skin dry and patchy, Olay body bars moisturize the skin leaving it soft and smooth even if it’s meant for whitening.

3. It contains the same ingredients from your favorite Olay facial creams.

4. I love the scent of their bars! They are not overpowering or strong but mild and even your sensitive nose will love them.

5. Your skin looks naturally glowing (healthy white skin).

6. It comes in different sizes so you can try first the small packs before you decide to buy bigger body bars. The bars in pouches are also great for traveling since they are in a plastic packaging, you just need to carefully open them so you can put the soap back and seal it with paper clip or hair clip (that’s what I do).

Product Description and Ingredients

I love anything with papaya, even papaya fruit shake because of its benefits to the skin. This soap smells like sweet papaya. The bar soap is orange because it contains papaya extract. Remember ripe papayas?

I’ve tried both of these Olay Natural White Body bars before and now we’re back in each other’s arms! What I do with the products I use is that, I alternate them so my skin won’t be immune to whichever product I am using and I find them more effective that way. Olay body bars are my favorites. It’s like a rest for my skin from those strong products that I’ve used previously. With these soaps, I don’t experience patchy, dry, and uneven skin tone. It naturally whitens the skin leaving it soft and smooth. My skin feels hydrated. I also enjoy the scent and how it lathers like milk onto my skin. I honestly don’t need to apply lotion after shower because my skin is already moisturized but if you have server dry skin, don’t skip that step. I just put on sunblock to protect my skin from the harmful rays of the sun. I also like the fact that I can use this soap more than 3x a day whenever I feel the need to shower due to our humid weather.

Tips:

✔ Use Olay Natural White Bars twice a day, morning and night (when you shower before going to bed).

✔ Focus on areas that need extra attention like darker or drier parts of the body (elbows, need, underarms).

✔ You can also use a sponge or loofa and make this an instant body wash soap while exfoliating your skin. You can do this 2x – 3x a week to reveal more of your newer skin and get rid of dead skin cells.

✔ When I ran out of my facial wash, these soaps are also safe to use for the face. My cousin love these so much, even their body washes, and she uses them as facial cleansers!

✔ Don’t scrub your skin too much, it may cause irritated and darker skin.

Other factors to consider for brighter/whiter skin:

♡ Aside from using whitening products, you must also watch your lifestyle like your sleep and food you eat.

♡ Make sure you practice drinking lots of water (8-10 glasses), to flush out toxins in the body.

♡ Don’t forget to apply sunblock, at least SPF 15 to protect your skin from UV/UVB/UVA damage from the sun especially if you’re using whitening products, you are more prone to make sunblock your best friend.

♡ Eat healthy (fish and vegetables), and avoid junk food.

 

That’s all for my experience and tips for taking care of your skin. If you have tried Olay Natural white before, don’t hesitate to share your experience too and if you have other skincare tips, they are highly appreciated here! ;)
