Achieving glowing, healthy skin is all about perfecting your skincare routine, both morning and night. With the help of Oliveda’s innovative skincare line, you will be well on your way to unlocking luminous, vibrant skin. This guide is designed to introduce you to the essential Oliveda Evening Skincare Routine, ensuring your skin gets the pampering and nourishment it needs and deserves to look and feel its very best.
Please note: For optimal results, a comprehensive Oliveda Skincare Routine is recommended and detailed out step-by-step below. If you’re new to Oliveda, you might not have all the products for each step right away, and that’s perfectly fine. The most important thing is to follow the sequence with the products you do have. Over time, you can gradually expand your skincare arsenal to include the full regimen.
Nighttime Skincare Routine Step 1: Double Cleanse the Skin
Your evening skincare ritual with Oliveda should start by cleansing your skin. This step is crucial and should not be overlooked.
Cleansing at night is essential because our skin is exposed to a variety of pollutants throughout the day. Proper nighttime cleansing ensures that you not only remove your makeup and SPF, but that you also remove all dirt and oil that has accumulated on your skin throughout the day. And then, with a fresh and clean canvas, your skin is better prepared to absorb the skincare products you’ll apply afterwards.
What is Double Cleansing?
Double cleansing involves cleaning your face twice, first with an oil-based cleanser and then followed with a second cleansing using a gel cleanser. This method is excellent for thoroughly removing impurities to ensure a deeper clean.
Why Should You Double Cleanse in the Evening?
The benefit of double cleansing is that the first cleaning with an oil cleanser will break down any makeup, remove dirt and excess oils from the day, and clean the surface of your skin. The second cleaning with a gel cleanser helps take care of the stuff you might not necessarily see with the naked eye, such as pollutants and debris, to tackle impurities that are deeper down.
Even if you don’t wear makeup or SPF, your skin accumulates enough impurities by the end of the day to merit a double cleanse.
How to Double Cleanse in the Evening
First Cleanse – Oil Cleanser: Kick off your evening routine with an Oliveda cleansing oil to dissolve the day’s buildup. Apply the oil on dry skin and massage gently. Add a bit of warm water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly. Using a soft microfiber cloth with warm water can help remove the oil more effectively.
Second Cleanse – Gel Cleanser: Continue with an Oliveda gel cleanser for a deeper clean, focusing on removing any residual dirt and oil. Lather a small amount with water and massage it onto your face, then rinse off. A damp microfiber cloth can be used here as well for gentle removal.
Following these steps ensures your skin is perfectly prepped, purified, and ready for the rest of your Oliveda evening skincare routine.
Nighttime Skincare Routine Step 2: Apply Toner
Following your evening cleanse, the next essential step in your routine is applying Oliveda’s toner or tonic. Oliveda’s toner isn’t just a typical toner; it’s a potent, nutrient-rich liquid designed to balance your skin’s pH, enhance its glow, reduce the look of enlarged pores, and boost moisture levels. Moreover, it helps remove any lingering residues, dead skin, and impurities from your pores. This helps pave the way for improved absorption and efficacy of the products that follow in your evening skincare lineup.
Applying Toner or Tonic
After cleansing, dispense a small amount of Oliveda toner or tonic into your hands. Rub your palms together gently, then press them onto your face and neck with a soft patting motion, ensuring even application and absorption.
Nighttime Skincare Routine Step 2a: Apply Peeling and Mask
Oliveda’s Olive Core Face Peeling and Oliveda’s Masks can be applied one to three times a week, depending on your skin’s needs. The peeling and/or mask should be applied to previously cleansed and toned skin. Cleansed and toned skin provides the ideal canvas for the peeling and masks to take full effect.
F10 Olive Core Face Peeling
Oliveda’s Peeling gently absorbs and removes dead skin cells. This helps support the regeneration process of the skin and allows it to reveal a fresh and smooth complexion beneath. And because of the gentle nature of the peel, it does not cause drying or irritation. The peeling should be applied to wet skin (the moisture can be from the toner) and massaged gently onto the skin. Then rinse and remove with warm water.
Oliveda Masks
The Oliveda Masks work best after using the peeling because the skin is optimized for the nourishment provided by the masks. Oliveda’s masks help restore lost moisture to dehydrated skin. The masks further promote skin regeneration, balance and even out the skin, absorb excess sebum, and nourish the skin deep into the pores. These should be applied to cleansed, dry skin, and should be left on the skin for 10 minutes. Then remove and rinse with warm water.
Nighttime Skincare Routine Step 2b: Apply Toner Again
Even though you already used the Oliveda Toner or Tonic prior to using the peeling and/or mask, it is ideal to use it again afterwards. The toner will help lock in the effects of the mask, keeping your skin feeling smoother and looking younger. It will also prepare your skin for optimal absorption of any products that follow.
Nighttime Skincare Routine Step 3: Apply Serums
Now that your skin is thoroughly prepared, the next step is to apply the serum. Oliveda’s serums are powerful formulas crafted to address particular skin issues, whether it be dark spots, blemishes, redness, etc. Packed with a high concentration of active ingredients, these serums offer deep treatment and notable enhancements in the look and condition of your skin.
How to Apply Face Serum
After shaking the bottle, apply a few drops of your Oliveda Serum into the palm of your hand, and then gently massage it onto your face. Alternatively, you can apply a drop or two of the serum onto each side of your face, and one on your forehead, and then gently massage it into the skin.
Nighttime Skincare Routine Step 4: Apply Oil, Oil Serum, or Oil Elixir
Following the serum, the next step in your evening routine is to enhance your skin’s nourishment with an Oliveda face oil, oil serum, or elixir. This phase is crucial for delivering active ingredients deeper into your skin, optimizing their benefits. It plays a vital role in strengthening your skin’s lipid barrier, preventing the formation of wrinkles, and boosting skin elasticity.
When to Apply Face Oil: Before or After Moisturizer?
Typically, face oil is used after applying your moisturizer because oils can penetrate moisturizers while also sealing in their hydrating benefits. However, Oliveda’s unique formulations mean their serums and oils are designed to be used together for heightened effectiveness. Combining a few drops of both your serum and oil, then applying the mixture to your face, can amplify your results.
Should You Use a Retinol or Retinol Alternative in the Morning or Evening?
Your skin is most active during the night. That’s why you want to use your heavy hitters, like Retinol or retinol alternatives, as part of your evening skincare routine.
Oliveda has 3 different retinol and retinol alternatives: Oliveda Green Retinol Face Elixir, Corrective Kahai Elixir, and Corrective Midnight Elixir. Both the Green Retinol and the Kahai Elixir can technically be used in the morning and evening. However, their Midnight Elixir should be reserved for the evenings.
Applying Face Oil, Oil Serum, or Elixir
Start by warming 2-3 drops of your chosen product in your hands. Gently massage it into your face with soft, circular motions. For an enhanced routine, consider mixing it with your serum before application.
Applying Eye Elixir
For the delicate eye area, dispense a single drop of the Eye Elixir under each eye. Then, with your ring finger, softly tap and massage the product around the eye area, ensuring gentle application.
Nighttime Skincare Routine Step 5: Apply Moisturizer or Cream
A night skincare routine isn’t complete without a boost of hydration. Oliveda’s range of face and eye creams provide essential moisture, ensuring your skin remains nourished and protected overnight. This crucial step helps to prevent dryness, fortifies your skin against environmental damages, and maintains a robust barrier. What sets Oliveda’s creams apart is their 100% bioactive formula, featuring the powerhouse ingredient hydroxytyrosol. This not only ensures deep hydration, but also enhances skin elasticity, leading to a smoother, more youthful complexion and a beautiful, glowing finish!
Applying Face Cream
Dab a small amount of cream onto each cheek and your forehead using your fingertip. Then, softly massage the cream into your skin with gentle, circular movements.
Applying Eye Cream
Use the tip of your ring finger to lightly press a tiny amount of cream around the exterior of your eyes. Remember to steer clear of the eyelids.
Nighttime Skincare Routine Step 6: Apply Oil Again (Optional)
While it’s standard to use oil after moisturizing, Oliveda’s Oils have a special synergy with their serums, encouraging their combined use before applying your cream. However, I find value in adding a final touch with either Oliveda’s Rose Oil or Jasmine Oil as a final step in my evening skincare routine to lock in all the benefits.
Applying Face Oil
Distribute a few drops of either Rose or Jasmine oil onto each cheek and your forehead, gently working it into your skin.
