It sounds like a great routine, but there are ways to improve. :)
In the morning, it's a good idea to wash your face with an exfoliating cream or just a natural face soap. Depending on what kind of exfoliating cream you use, it might be unsafe to use it twice a day or cause skin irritation and rough rashes. If you think it's not a good idea to use your cream twice a day, then use a non scented soap. Try to use a soap that's contains natural ingredients that won't irritate your skin. Washing your face every morning and every night will open your pores and reduce the risk of acne, blackheads, and any type of pimples and blemishes.
After washing your face, you can evenly apply your Olay cream onto your face and neck. If you decide to wear makeup that day, put that on next.
Your night routine sounds pretty solid and the only thing I'd really recommend changing is the baby wipes. On some skin, baby wipes can cause your skin to break out in rashes. Makeup wipes are pretty much exactly like baby wipes except it's specifically for removing make up. If your skin is sensitive, then baby oil is a thick gel that can help remove makeup without causing any disturbances to your skin. Some makeup removers are harmful to skin and cause blemishes to appear so be careful with what remover you decide to use.
Make sure to use your exfoliating cream and blackhead cleanser AFTER you remove your makeup for best results.
Tip: After you rinse your face from the creams and lotions you use, use a towel to dry your face but dab it clean. Don't rub, just dab and tap. Rubbing can also cause blemishes and irritations.
