Olay is launching 8 new anti-aging skincare products

A few weeks ago, I was invited to a great afternoon among other beauty editors and beauty bloggers over lunch to talk about Olay’s new product launches!

The afternoon was made ever more enjoyable by the fact that we all met at the Jamie Kennedy restaurant located in the newly renovated Gardiner Museum.

International readers, if you do visit Toronto, you’ll want to make a stop at the Jamie Kennedy restaurant for lunch because the food is super delicious and the setting is so sleek. They have a patio that makes people watching a national sport. Trust me … you won’t be disappointed.

Obviously this afternoon wasn’t all about great food, we also had to talk about anti-aging skincare.

The mood was quite interesting at P & G because after quizzing a number of people working for the cosmetic giant about how the economy had affected their sales, I was told that consumers have flocked to P & G beauty products en masse (in great numbers) because consumers are now looking for anti-aging skincare that is more affordable that the $400 cream they might have been able to justify buying before the October 2008 market crash.

Again this morning, I got an industry report declaring that both Avon and Revlon (two other affordable skincare brands) have seen important decline in sales.

If you are trying to cut back on your beauty budget, then you’ll be excited about this new line of Olay products which are all quite reasonably priced.

Before I give you a list of products I’ve given Eleni and Daphne to review in the coming months, I wanted to point out that the special guest at the Olay lunch was dermatologist and frequent guest on the show Style by Jury Dr. Kucy Pon.

Dr. Pon did a presentation on the important of protecting the neck against sun damage (so many women forget to protect their neck and chest, aka décolleté area).

Since there are so many great products to talk about with this new product launch, I wanted to give you a quick and dirty list, but I will let Eleni and Daphne’s reviews guide you better to determine which of the products Olay is launching you should consider buying for your anti-aging needs (let’s face it … winter is not that far for us living on the east coast)!
