After blowing out the 25 candles on my birthday cake, I dread each following birthday because that means I’m growing older and getting closer to my 30s! *Gasps* How did time fly by so fast?
I’m turning 29 this year, which means, I’m hanging on to my twenties on a thin thread. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is worried sick about growing old because many of my female friends out there would groan and moan whenever we talk about the physical changes we experience as we age. It is inevitable that everyone ages but I guess everyone would like to slow down the process as much as we can and age as gracefully as we can too.
I’ve noticed myself trying to get on a healthier lifestyle as I grow older because I’m more aware of the benefits it can do for my body, physically and emotionally.
Here are some personal tips I would like to share with you on how I try to keep a balanced and healthy lifestyle:
- Stay hydrated
This is a no-brainer and I can’t stress enough the importance of drinking at least 2L of water a day.
- Get at least 6-7 hours of sleep a day
This is something that I’m still working hard on but having sufficient rest is really improves my skin condition.
- Exfoliate at 1-2x a week
I always look forward to this because I just like the idea that I’m removing dead skin cells off my face and it prevents clogging of pores and formation of pimples.
- Sunscreen, always.
I also learned to never step out of the house sans sunscreen! Harmful UV rays are one of the biggest culprits for skin aging so, remember to always have your sunscreen on.
- Proper skincare routine every morning and night
Ever since I was in my early twenties, I already started using skincare products religiously and now that I’m older, I’m even more strict with what I put on my face and there’ll never be a day I would go to bed without my moisturizer on.
- Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo
I’ve been trying out these 2 new products from Olay for 3 weeks now and I noticed my skin “transforming” before my eyes. My skin felt firmer and there were less visible fine laugh lines under my eyes, which usually require cosmetic procedures like fillers injections to plump up the skin. I was really impressed that a pocket-friendly product was able to make such a difference to my skin as Olay Regenerist works from within to plump the surface cells for a visible effect.
The Olay Miracle Duo - Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence and Micro-Sculpting Cream Moisturiser is a powerful anti-aging pair when used together every morning and night. These two items are what’s in my weekend sleepover bag whenever I go over to my fiance’s place to spend the night.
After cleansing my face, I’ll run a cotton pad that’s drenched with toner over my face before applying the Olay Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence.
This pre-essence is designed to boost the penetration of anti-aging actives of the moisturizer and also boosting cell renewal which makes achieving a youthful looking skin that much easier. From the very first drop, it promises firming of skin and reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. A breakthrough in skin cell renewal, I would say!
The pre-essence is very lightweight and it gets absorbed into the skin within seconds which means I can move on to my next step (moisturizer) really quickly and that’s a huge plus for every busy working adult, like me.
I love the unique auto-dropper packaging because with just 1 click, it ensures that the right amount of pre-essence is delivered for every application I need.
The next step in my skincare routine would be to apply a moisturizer, and I’m using the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream after the Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence.
Even though the moisturizer is in a cream form, it does not feel heavy on my skin at all. It is very hydrating and is able to keep my face feeling moisturized throughout the day. The Micro-sculpting cream helps to renew skin’s surface layers for smooth texture and refined pores. It also gently exfoliates the skin which helps minimize clogged pores and prevent blemishes or pimples. It has visibly benefitted me by plumping and firming my skin because I find my under eye area having lesser fine lines.
The Olay Regenerist Micro-sculpting cream also works great under makeup because when my skin is hydrated and supple, my makeup product just glides on so smoothly onto my skin.
Another tip to share, don’t forget to apply your moisturizers onto your neck too! Someone once told me that a lady’s age is most easily revealed by the skin condition of her neck and fingers, so remember to not neglect your neck.
The powerful combination of Miracle Boost Pre-essence and Olay’s most advanced Micro-sculpting Cream work together to boost renewal of surface cells and provide 2x more anti-aging active penetration into skin.
And the result?
A stunning, youthful skin that is proven to look 10 years younger.
It is no wonder they are called the Miracle Duo!
It is never too early to start on anti-aging skincare, it is always better to start ahead while you can and not when it is too late.
So if you are in your twenties do try out Miracle Duo out and see the wonders it can do.
You can now buy them in Watsons and Guardian stores from 1st November 2016! Or buy it online at Lazada (link given below). For November, there is a 30% discount for Micro-sculpting Cream if you buy on Lazada!
