🌿 My Skincare Wake-Up Call: Why I Ditched the 12-Step Hype and Found My Holy Grail
You know what’s wild?
For years I believed my skin needed more to be better. More acids. More products. More steps. More “miracle” ingredients that promised to fix me.
But it wasn’t until I stopped overcomplicating and started listening—to my skin, to my body, and to nature—that everything changed.
And that’s exactly how I found the Olive Tree People routine I now swear by. The one that feels like a full-body exhale every time I use it.
Let me walk you through what I actually use (yes, every day), and more importantly—why I use it.
✨ Step 1: Oliveda Cleansing Gel
I used to use harsh cleansers that left my skin tight, stripped, and begging for moisture. This one? It’s gentle but potent, like it actually respects my skin barrier. I use it morning and night to start and end the day with clean, calm skin.
Emotional truth: I don’t want my skincare to feel like punishment. I want it to feel like coming home.
🌿 Step 2: F86Corrective Vegan Hyaluronic Serum Face + F63Cell Active Face Oil Serum
🧪 Water + Oil = Skin Magic: My Non-Negotiable Glow Duo
You know that moment when your skin just drinks something in and says: “Yes. That’s what I’ve been needing”?
That’s what happens when I layer the Vegan Hyaluron Serum under the F63 Face Oil from Oliveda.
And before you ask—yes, oil and water can mix... when it comes to your skin barrier, this duo is like giving it hydration and protection in one luxurious, glow-giving ritual.
💧Vegan Hyaluron Serum — Hydration That Goes Deep
This serum isn’t surface-level. It’s packed with triple hyaluronic acid (three molecular weights!) which means it penetrates multiple layers of your skin. Translation: bounce, dew, and real replenishment.
Why I love it: It’s featherlight but leaves your skin feeling like it just had a tall glass of water. No stickiness. No film. Just plump, happy skin.
✨ F63 Face Oil — Nature’s Glow Filter
Once my skin is damp with the serum, I press in a few drops of the F63 Face Oil. And WOW.
This oil is infused with olive polyphenols, wild rose, and kahai oil—a retinol alternative that’s way gentler. It seals in the moisture, calms any irritation, and gives this soft-focus, lit-from-within glow I’ve never gotten from makeup.
My truth bomb: This combo is the reason I’ve been skipping foundation lately. My skin doesn’t need to be covered when it’s this nourished.
🧖‍♀️ Why It Works: Barrier Repair, Not Hype
The secret? Hydrate first, then seal. So many people go straight to oils or thick creams, but if you’re not feeding your skin water first, you’re just locking in dryness.
This serum-oil pairing mimics how our skin naturally functions—with both water and oil. That’s why it works. That’s why it lasts. That’s why I don’t go a day without it.
Step 3 🧬 Skin Reset Mode: Why I Reach for F74 When My Face Feels Done
You ever wake up and your skin is just like, “Nope. Not today.”
Maybe it’s been stripped. Maybe it’s reactive. Maybe life’s been lifing and it’s showing up all over your face.
That’s when I reach for my secret weapon:
F74 Regeneration Intense Face Cream by Oliveda.
Because this isn’t just a cream. It’s repair. Restoration. Rescue.
🧖‍♀️ What It Actually Does (That Most Moisturizers Don’t)
Most creams just sit on the surface. F74 goes deeper. It’s powered by olive polyphenols, hydroxytyrosol, and a wild rose oil blend that’s anti-inflammatory, barrier-repairing, and deeply nourishing.
The difference? My skin doesn’t just look better—it feels stronger. Less reactive. More resilient.
This is the one I use when:
I’ve overdone it with actives
I’ve been traveling or sleep-deprived
I just want to feel held by my skincare
🌱 Step 4: 007 lifting up EYE ELIXIR + F09 Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream
This is the step I used to skip, until I saw what not taking care of my under-eyes was doing. This elixir is cooling, de-puffing, and makes me look like I slept 9 hours even when I didn’t.
Truth drop: Eye creams aren’t just about vanity. They’re about kindness. I’m not trying to erase time—I’m honoring the fact that I’ve lived.
đź«’ The Ritual That Changed Everything
Using this system consistently taught me something deeper than skincare: my skin doesn’t need to be “fixed.” It needs to be nourished. Cared for. Understood.
And for the first time in my adult life, I actually look forward to my skincare routine. It’s not a chore—it’s a ritual.
One that reminds me: I am worth slowing down for.
