Konbanwa minna-san(Good Evening everyone)! I just wanted to drop in and update. Wow, I'm beginning to love the convenience of Blogger as a place where I can speak my mind. lol Yes, I am still using Live Journal, but only when I'm talking about personal thoughts and such.
Anyway, the reason why I have this photo I've taken of this Olay product being axed, is that I'm going to give you all my experience with this particular product. I should have read the reviews before I bought it. I know I'm using Tinypic for my uploads, it's become something I'm used to, since Photobucket let me down months ago. Even though Blogger is unlimited uploads, I still would like to use Tinypic to upload and Blogger/Youtube for my videos~
I purchased the Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging Micro-Exfoliating Wet Cleansing Cloths from Walmart back in December of 2010. It was a Christmas gift for my mom. When she used it, she would tell me that it left her skin dry or something like that. So I took it from her and used it myself. It was doing fine at first. It wasn't until about two months ago, I've noticed that my skin was reacting to it. My skin formed tiny bumps which were greasy when you run your fingers over them. On the Saturday of Brenda's birthday, I used it the following day. That Saturday, the skin around my upper lip felt rough from using the towelette days prior. But it got worse after I used it a second time. My upper lip got darker, almost plastic feeling and the skin under my nose is dark. I kept putting Vaseline on it and that helped a little, still it's a dark area by my lip.
What did I do about it? I contacted Olay about it. Here was their email:

Bullsh＊t eh? During these hard times, I have to go to a dermatologist? Hell, I can't even afford to go to the f＊cking DENTIST TO GET THIS ROOT CANAL OUT OF MY MOUTH!! Now, I'm beginning to realize how they labelled this sh＊t the DEVIL. LOL My mother told me that my aunt on my father's side refrains from using anything from Proctor & Gamble because of the whole Satanic thing. Meh, some of their products are just bad in general. Their facial wash is ok, I've only had a bad experience with this product. Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't use so many products on my face. I'm just trying to keep myself up, that's all. I'm only HUMAN...
So I waited and got this in the mail on Monday... It was a coupon for towelettes. I won't be getting the same kind, I'm getting the two pack one, which is expensive. LOL But yeah, Black women, please refrain from using this product. It's not good for your skin and definitely not good for your EYES as it will burn the sh＊t out of them! I have to use my Ambi fading creme to bring my complexion back to the way it's suppose to be! That is all~
