Carrie Underwood: The New Face of Oil of Olay

carrie olay
This past week Carrie Underwood was named the first celebrity ambassador Oil of Olay has ever had.  This of course caught my attention as I’m an avid Carrie Underwood fan and I’ve also started using Oil of Olay myself.  When you think about products a celebrity would use, you generally don’t think of moisturizer that you can buy at a grocery store.  I usually assume that a celebrity with their eleventy gazillion dollars is spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on moisturizer and such that only a select few can buy because it’s found on some remote fountain of youth island.  However, Carrie Underwood uses Oil of Olay you guys!  Oil of Olay!  And she’s used it for YEARS! She’s going to be a part of the “Challenge What’s Possible” campaign and will be representing a line of skin care products for the brand which will debut later this year.

At the press conference announcing Carrie Underwood’s representation this is what she had to say:

“I am so excited to be associated with a beauty brand that has been trusted by women for more than 50 years. As a little girl I remember my mom always using the original Olay Beauty Fluid and encouraging my sisters and I to take care of our skin. I love that Olay has managed to change with the times, yet stay in touch with women of all ages who want affordable skin care products that do what they promise. My music career has been a dream come true and proven to me that the seemingly impossible can be achieved. Olay’s inspiring campaign echoes my beliefs.”

Carrie Underwood and WebMD Magazine

Did you know that Carrie Underwood is currently on the cover of WebMD magazine? Yeah, I mean honestly I don’t subscribe to that either, but I saw it in the waiting room at my doctor’s office the other day and I thought hmmm Carrie Underwood+health tips=her legs? I’ll take it! But seriously? Have you seen those legs, if only I could get my legs in that condition!! Here’s some tidbits of Carrie’s interview with WebMD: article.

Her preconceived notions of stardom: “Growing up, I always thought musicians would wake up at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, play a show, and party all night,” says the 27-year-old. “It’s not what happens at all! There’s a lot of work and planning, and no partying. Which is fine — I’m not a big partygoer anyway.”

Her litmus test on if a place is clean: “Here’s my test,” she says. “My dog travels with me everywhere. If he licks the floor a lot, or tries to roll around and stuff, the socks stay on. It’s totally mental — I’m sure it’s fine. I mean, growing up I used to run around with no shoes on, just outside everywhere. I was a disgusting child.”

On staying healthy: “People say, ‘I don’t have time — I just grab a hot dog on the street,’” she says. “I know better. It takes about five minutes to make a sandwich to take with you someplace.” “In our catering area we have this huge table of supplements for people — little things like vitamin C, echinacea, stuff like that, because if one person gets a cold, everybody’s getting a cold.” “I’m not a huge pill taker, because I feel like our bodies are designed to take what we need out of food. So I don’t want to make my body deficient and make it depend on what I take. I’d rather eat and drink things that are good for me.”

Her gym routine: “If I can wake up and I go get a good cardio session in,” she says, “a class at a gym nearby, or me on the treadmill, I’m happier throughout the day.” “Cardio makes me feel good, it makes me happy. It really makes a noticeable difference.”
