It’s kind of crazy to think that being a beauty junkie can actually take a serious toll on your skin. From switching up your products too often, to even layering on too many serums and lotions, it turns out that less can really be more when it comes to your skin.

After struggling my skin recently I decided to simplify my skincare routine to give my skin some time to breathe and figure out what was stressing my skin out. Instead of going through a million skincare steps both morning and night, I challenged myself to streamline and decided to take Olay’s 28 Day Challenge, which aims to deliver serious results in just 28 days with a really simple skincare routine.

Like… really really simple. As in, two products simple (which was quite the change from what I had been doing!). But we’re not just talking about ANY two products, we’re talking about two superstars.

The first was Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15, a daytime moisturizer that basically does everything you could ever want – from anti-aging to evening your skin tone and even minimizing the look of pores – PLUS it has SPF so you can skip the sunblock for your everyday activities. It’s really lightweight while still being really hydrating, which is what I always look for in a moisturizer since my skin tends to get both oily and dry.

And then my eyes’ new BFF, Olay Deep Hydrating Eye Gel, which works wonders both morning and night. It’s fast-absorbing and crazy hydrating with hyaluronic acid that instantly makes you look like you’ve gotten a full night’s sleep (even when miiiight have stayed out a little too late). But best of all? It feels so good when you put it on in the morning because of its cooling formula that depuffs and hides tired eyes.

So, after 28 days with just TWO products, I’ve gotta say, I’m a serious believer. It was so nice to be able to travel light on a few recent trips and keep things simple thanks to the multi- tasking action of my two new favorite Olay products. While the beauty junkie in me still is likely to add a serum or mask to the mix, my skin has really appreciated the simplicity and feels SO healthy with a serious glow to it lately.
