Now that I’ve just celebrated my 25th birthday, I’m becoming more aware of the fact that I can’t treat my skin like I did back when I was a teenager. Over the years I’ve definitely learned about the importance of using a moisturizer -– and have tried at least a dozen of them — but, more recently, I’ve been learning that not all moisturizers are created equal. That’s where Olay® Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer comes in.
Not only does Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer provide the daily moisture I need to keep my skin looking and feeling healthy, it also fights all seven of these signs of aging:
1. Line Minimization: Reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles
2. Nourishing Moisturization: For a radiant, healthy glow
3. Tone Enhancement: Balances color and reduces appearance of age spots
4. Gentle exfoliation: Smoothes and evens skin texture
5. Eye Puffiness Reduction: Massages to reduce the appearance of eye puffiness
6. Free Radical Defense: Helps prevent damage to skin’s surface
7. Dryness Defense: Reduces the appearance of dryness.
Reducing signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles was never really something I’ve had to consider. With my 30th birthday just five years away, though, fighting the signs of aging is something I want to get a jump start on as soon as I can! And then there’s the fact that Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer protects my skin from sun damage (with SPF 15) and free radicals in the air. As someone who is constantly walking around the streets of New York City, this is crucial when it comes to choosing the right moisturizer for my skin. Another thing I look for in a moisturizer is how easily it can be applied to my skin, and Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer goes on smoothly and flawlessly.
I used the Light to Medium shade, which blends into my skin tone perfectly, without any streaks. I love how Olay Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer covers all of the things I look for in a moisturizer, because it keeps me from having to buy a bunch of different products. I’m always on the go and/or traveling, so being able to have one moisturizer that not only protects my skin but also acts as a light and flawless makeup, well, what more could I ask for?

I was compensated and provided free product for this post. The opinions expressed herein are my own.
I mainly moisturize at night. I look for moisturizers that are for extremely dry skin, especially during the wintertime.

I like to use a tinted moisturizer in the mornings in place of foundation and then a regular moisturizer at night. If I am out of tinted moisturizer I will mix a dab of foundation with regular moisturizer and use that in the mornings.
This product looks great!
i use body clear body wash in the morning post-gym and bliss facial exfoliator and wash at night! i use neutrogena oil free moisturizer – must be oil free!
Love tinted mostizer
Last year I invested in a Clarisonic and I’m so glad I did! I take a few minutes each night to wash my face with it and moisturize. Feels like a mini facial every day.
I look for a moisturizer that won’t leave my skin too oily but will still leave my skin smooth because I can get dry skin as well.

I look for a moisturizer that is hydrating and goes on smooth, yet won’t leave my face too oily. And of course SPF. Tinted moisturizers are great too!
I look for a moisturizer with SPF and something that doesn’t get too oily.
I should try this, I rarely use moisturizer.
I use a light daily moisturizer under my makeup. At night, I slather on a thicker night cream for some serious hydration.
My number one skin care rule is always wash off my make-up before going to bed. I have oily skin so I prefer moisturizers that don’t leave my skin feeling greasy.
I look for long-lasting. My skin is so dry, it seems to wear off by mid-day
For the past 6 months I’ve been using coconut oil to moisturize because my skin has become very sensitive. I’d love to try something that’s age-defying…30 is fast approaching!
I always take off my makeup every single night! The thought of going to bed with my makeup on drives me crazy. For moisturizer, I always look for oil-free products.
i washmy face before bed everynight

I make time for my skin by moisturizing ALL the time. Right when I get out of the shower especially, but also after taking my make up off (With a moisturizing cold cream!.
I’ve been looking for a new tinted moisturizer!
I make sure that I use a moisturizer each morning that has SPF in it. In the winter, I tend to use a tinted one and in the summer just a plain one.
I make time for my skin by using my Clarisonic morning & night and moisturizing with SPF all the time.
I have been experimenting because like you I realized I need to take better care of my skin! I definitley like Olay products but haven’t tried this one yet!
I always make time to take off my makeup and put on eye cream at night. In the morning, I always put on moisturizer that’s fairly light with SPF… the Florida sun is brutal!
This sounds like the perfect moisturizer!! I want something that moisturizes since I have skin on the dry side, fights aging, creates an even skin tone, and most importantly, contains SPF!!
I cannot live without a good mousturizer. This sounds great. I also use sun block during the day.

I use a dual action moisturizer that prevents acne. I use it in the morning and at night. I also wash my face twice a day and use sunblock regularly.
I’ve been using the same moisturizer for YEARS I’d love to try something new!
I look for something light that is easily and quickly absorbed into the skin. I also look for non-scented. I’ve been using Olay Complete for Sensitive Skin for years (the formulation and name has changed over the years, but there is always something similar). Love it!
I try to never sleep with my makeup on. Lately my face is starting to get really dry so I only use face wash once a day, but always moisturize.
I need to get going on my skincare and moisturize more and use some eye cream!
I really like tinted moisturizers as long as they aren’t too obvious or streaky! I have been getting better at actually using moisturizer which helps my skin by not getting too oily or dried out.
I wash my face morning and night with an all natural cleanser and moisturize once or twice a day with coconut oil! Works perfectly for me.
I dont really have problematic skin or anything, so I try to wash my face every day and after I work out. I also make an effort to not wear much makeup and that helps too.
No mater how late I stay out I always make sure to wash my make up off when I get home and use eye makeup remover, super important!!
Also – do not wear making up to the gym, you’re asking for trouble!
I don’t wear much makeup and I think this helps my skin. I also use a gentle cleaner every day.
I always look for a moisturizer with spf.

thanks for holding this wonderful giveaway! I love to use face masks to moisturize because it lets me multitask! I slap on the mask after my shower and surf the net – easy peasy!
I wear a sunscreen as often as I remember to – but an all in one would be great!
i wash my face twice a day and exfoliate once a week

I look for something light, but still moisturizing, and use a clarisonic at least once a week.
I have never used a tinted moisturizer before and would love to try!!
I typically look for an oil-free, fragrance-free moisturizer. I also like one that has an SPF in it … it’s important to me that my skin stays cancer-free!
I look for light-weight, non-greasy feel and spf for my moisturizers.
Moisturizing is essential for me because I have very dry skin year-round. Lately I’ve been looking for ways to make my makeup routine quicker and lighter. (Don’t like that caked on look but want some coverage.) I would love to see how this product works; it seems to cover all the bases!
I love olay, they have some really nice products!
i love olay! i have the world’s dryest skin and will have to try that uv correcting moisturizer!
I currently use a day time Olay moisturizer as well as a night time one. I recently bought a different brand and my skin instantly went bad! I switched back to Olay and it’s all better
I always look for an SPF in my moisturizer!!
