Olay Body Wash and Body Conditioner Is Just What My Skin Needed

After writing about Teyana Taylor being the new spokesperson for Olay; I had to try their new Olay Body wash and conditioner.

My go to body wash over the years has been Caress daily silk or the latest Bath and Body Works scent. Even though it smelled good, my skin never felt smooth and silky afterwards. I found myself having to use Cocoa Butter gel to get that shimmer and smoothness I was looking for.

OLAY and P&G have started by committing $5 million to #TakeOnRace, a fund supporting organizations fighting systemic bias and inequality, including the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund.

After doing a write up on Teyana Taylor becoming the new brand ambassador for Olay I decided to give them a try. Last Saturday I went to my local Target and purchased the line and fell in love! My skin is smooth to the touch and looks amazing!

Tia Mowry Anser Vitamins are expanding it’s reach to help women take control of their own health.

“When I started Anser over a year ago I looked to my team and I said “where’s the representation?” I didn’t see women of color in the marketplace when it came to supplements. I wanted to build a brand that was inclusive, meaning that it was affordable without sacrificing the quality of the product.

Teyana Taylor is one blessed chick!

First there was her MAC cosmetics collab that took us back to the 90’s, then she changed the game in Coming 2 America and now she’s partnered with OLAY to help us keep our skin together.

So to have the opportunity to work with them, I just feel like this year has really been a blessing. I’ve been working with a lot of people I’ve had dreams of working with. Olay is big for me.

The singer/actress is helping the beauty brand launch their new body care collection, which consists of a body wash and rinse-off conditioner with retinol.

Not only is the collaboration a big deal for Teyana, it’s helping her to reinforce the importance of me-time.

“As a woman, it’s challenging to carve out moments of self-care and even more so over this past year,” Taylor said in a post on her Instagram.
