It's no secret that I'm a skincare fiend and am a little bit of a hoarder when it comes to new products and trying new things!

BUT...let's not get it twisted.  I'm trying to be more minimalistic when it comes to my routine -- less is more when it comes to beauty.  I'm proud to say I'm working on mastering the art of finding the right products for both my skincare and makeup routine to use LESS quantity and get more results.  Genius, right?!

I don't know about y'all, but I'm always the girl at the grocery store that's trying to kill two birds with one stone.  If I'm grocery shopping for food, I'm also going to pick up some of my skincare needs, toilet paper etc.  We don't have time to be making a million stops, just like we don't have time to use a million and one products every morning and night!

One of my go-to grocery stores is Kroger.  I'm signed up with their loyalty program/shopper's card (why wouldn't you be!) -- This is one of my biggest financial tips for anyone looking to save money...especially at grocery stores.  If a store has a free rewards program, SIGN UP!

My schedule lately has been crazy.  I have meetings, workouts, events, and need to be out the door in minutes sometimes.  I always try to adhere to a staple skincare routine, but more times than not I just have time to splash my face with cold water, throw on some moisturizer and sunscreen and walk out the door.

The benefits:

• events out the skin tone

• replenishes moisture

• enhances brightness

• smoothes fine lines

• minimizes pores

• restores firmness

• reduces the look of dark spots

I mean, if I had to roll everything I look for in skincare into one product, I found it.  

I'm all about minimizing aging while addressing any skin concerns I have right now.  The Olay Total Effects Whip moisturizer hydrates my skin for now and helps to keep my skin looking bright, fresh, and youthful.  My kind of cream.

What do y'all look for in a cream?  If you have normal skin like me and are looking for an effective moisturizer that doesn't feel heavy, you HAVE to try the Olay Total Effects Whip moisturizer!  Let me know if you've tried any of the Olay creams and what your favorite was!
