My favorite beauty product is...At the moment I've fallen in love with the Olay Cleansing Melts + Retinol ($14.89).



I have been using this product since...
I've used it for about a month, so roughly since September.

I love this product because...This is the perfect cleanser for travel. I truly hate having a heavy beauty bag, but I'm also not willing to compromise on my skin needs. The Olay Cleansing Melts + Retinol are water free and contain retinol to improve skin texture without drying out the skin.



When I use this product, I feel...
Baby soft and ready to travel!



I first discovered this product when…
I saw Toni Bravo do an ad with Olay in the US and knew I had to get my hands on it.



I use it the most when…
I gravitate towards this when my skin is feeling rough.



My favourite way to use this product is...
Leave it on as a mask to give the retinol a bit more time to work and then rinse after 2 minutes. If you forget your body cleanser you can also use 2 of the melts to cleanse your body.
