Remezcla Tries: The Game-Changing Body Wash I Didn’t Know I Needed
Remezcla Tries is where our editors put products, experiences, and trends to the test so you don’t have to. Whether it’s the latest beauty must-have, a viral experience, or a cultural phenomenon, we’re here to give you the real scoop. Consider this your intel from your go-to Latine editors to decide what’s worth your time, money, and energy—straight from those who’ve tried it firsthand.
When it comes to events, I like to be fully in my element as soon as I start getting ready — especially if it’s as large of an event as the Latin Grammys. Everything about the prep sets the tone—from the music I blast while getting ready to the products I use in the shower. If the scent or feel of a body wash I’m trying out is off, it could throw my whole vibe into chaos. Yes, a bit dramatic, but I take my getting ready process seriously. So, when I decided to switch things up and try Olay’s Indulgent Body Wash to prepare for the Latin Grammys, I knew I was taking a risk. The question: Would it deliver?
First Impressions
The first thing I noticed about the Olay body wash was its texture—luxuriously thick without being sticky. It wasn’t one of those watery formulas that slip through your fingers before you’ve even lathered up. This one stayed put, giving me time to savor the experience (which, let’s be honest, is half the point of a self-care moment).
When I started applying it, I was struck by how hydrating it felt, almost like I was smoothing on a lightweight lotion in the shower. The hydration wasn’t surface-level either—it left my skin feeling deeply moisturized even after rinsing off.
And here’s the kicker: I didn’t need to reach for my go-to lotion afterward. That’s saying something because lotion is usually a non-negotiable step for me, especially before heading out to a long event.
The Longevity Test
Hydration is one thing, but does it last? I can confidently say yes. The body wash passed every test of the night.
It held up through my entire Grammys experience: from getting to my seat and watching Carlos Vives kick off the show to dancing along to the salsa tribute featuring Marc Anthony and La India and cheering for Ela Taubert. Hours later, as I walked out of the arena, my skin felt as soft and smooth as it did when I first stepped out of the shower—no dryness, no tightness—just hydrated perfection.
The Best Part
Here’s what seals the deal for me: when this body wash inevitably runs out (because, yes, I’m definitely using it again), I won’t have to worry about splurging to replace it. At under $15, it’s an affordable indulgence that feels way more expensive than it is. Plus, the generous size means it’ll last long enough to get me through more red carpets—or at least my next big night out.
Final Thoughts
The Olay Indulgent Body Wash didn’t just pass the test; it elevated my entire pre-Latin Grammys routine. It set the tone for the evening, gave me that post-shower confidence boost, and left me feeling hydrated for hours. Consider this risk completely worth it.
Now, I’m wondering… what other red-carpet-ready rituals should I try next?
