Dry Skin? Meet your match.

FB’s interview of me is finally out; read it here. She did a terrif job of coming up with just the right questions, and adding photos!

In the interview, I rave about two moisturisers: my Olay Quench and my Olay Complete, both for sensitive skin. So I figured now would be a good time to review them, lol!

Let’s start with the Olay Complete.
I searched for the right moisturiser for quite a while, and I’m glad to say I found it! It’s got just the right consistency, and absorbs nicely into my face. It isn’t as matte as I would like it to be, but that’s okay – I suppose I could get a mattifying lotion, if I really wanted to, but those always turn out rather badly for me. I use about four pea sizes of this – two when I get out of the shower, and two more once those have completely absorbed in. My dry patches are all gone, and my skin no longer feels tight – or heavy, like some other creams make it feel. In addition, this has SPF15, which is nice, and doesn’t have a smell. A ton of moisturisers have a scent, which a)drives me crazy, and b)irritates my skin.

Next: Olay Quench.I love my Quench. LOVE it. FB is obsessed with it’s concentrate formula, but a daily application of this seems to be doing the trick for me. I don’t love the fact that it glitters, because it can get rather out of hand, lol! However, it absorbs into my skin like water, and is the only light, scent-free moisturiser than can keep my super-dry skin hydrated in the cold months (which is practically the whole year for me :P ). I’m thinking of trying their Moiturerinse as well, as I’m running out of my faithful Body Shop Plumb & Nectarine Shower Gel. -sigh-.

These two definitely both receive Holy Grail status – unless I find anything even more perfect, that is!

EDIT: Well, seeing as the Quench is no longer produced and the Complete is no longer hydrating enough for me… they’ve both been DEMOTED! Damn Olay. Discontinuing everything that works for sensitive, dry skin.
