so fresh and so clean clean
I’m a product whore, and that is a fact. It’s incredibly hard for me to remain loyal to one product; I even have to switch up my toothpastes after every tube so I don’t get bored. I consider it a miracle when I find something I’m completely satisfied with and never ever have to think about searching for something better, my “Holy Grail.”
There’s something very simplistic and organic about using bar soap. I don’t do body washes and it took me all of my adolescent life to realize body washes just do not agree with my skin. Throughout my body wash experimentation phase, I always had Olay bar soap as my back up. First off, the texture of this soap is incredibly creamy (glycerin) but not to the point where the bar is melting in your hands (think white Dove bars when the bottom part touches the soap dish and starts to get mushy). This bar never becomes mushy. Secondly, the scent is really subtle and luxurious, but not overpowering (overly sweet, musky, perfumey, fake floral, etc). Third of all, it doesn’t leave a film or dry out your skin after rinsing.
I was using the predecessor of the Olay Age Defying bar for four years –the original white bar with pink packaging (not to be confused with the pink beauty bar)– before it was discontinued and replaced with this Age Defying version. This version comes closest to the original’s scent and moisturizing properties, although not exact. Now I don’t even flinch when I see new bath products out on the market. I am married to this bar soap for life.
Now I just need to lock down a man.
