Caring for My Dry Winter Skin

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay.  The opinions and text are all mine.


Baby, it's cold outside! I know that winter doesn't technically arrive until next week but try telling that to my skin. As far as I'm concerned, my winter skin is already here due to our temps in the low 20's and teens and our single digit morning wind chills. Cold wind can do a number on your skin, let me tell you!

Here in the Miniapple, (that's Minneapolis for those who don't know) it gets super cold and us Minnesotans need extra help caring for our dry skin. It seems like I'm always applying moisturizers, creams, and lip balms during the cold, dry, winter months.


I really have to be careful about the soap and body wash that I use on my skin and usually have to switch up my skin care regimen just a tad to help with my dry itchy skin.

Olay wanted to help a sister out and sent over Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus to try and encouraged me to take the Winter Skin challenge.


Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus has just what my dry skin needs to stay moisturized and hydrated. Olay Moisture Ribbons has a unique formula to help combat the harsh effects of old man winter.

Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus has two ribbons that are made up of cleansers and moisturizers that help your skin to feel softer and more moisturized. You don't want to use a whole lot but leave me a little goes a long way and there's a rich lather that I love.

After just one use, Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus moisturizing body wash provides a luxurious moisture for soft skin. See the two ribbons? The special formula wraps your body in a rich lather that cleanses and moisturizes at the same time. That's just what my dry, tight skin needs.


Both therapeutic scents are made with shea butter and ingredients like Manuka Honey and
Lavender oil.

This moisturizing body wash felt nice and creamy going on. The thick formula provides a rich lather and a little bit goes a long way. Trust me. I'm glad I tried Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus and I can't wait to see and feel the difference this winter!

  1. Just started using the Olay soap after being a Dove girl for so long, thanks for the update on the body wash. I prefer body washed over soap, so I'll be trying this out.

  3. I'm in! I'm definitely trying to combat dry skin. I'm in Miami so we don't have winter, but my skin is naturally dry year round.

  8. The ribbons are the key! Our skin needs so much moisture in general, but definitely more in the winter season! My skin DRINKS moisture, so I'm all interested in getting more! I've known about Olay since I was a little girl and my Granny used it for her face.
