We hear a lot about the importance of following a good skin care routine. With Olay’s world renowned skin care ranges, your skin care routine is easy, and can easily be suited specifically to your age, skin type and your skin’s individual needs. Here are the key steps for obtaining complete skin transformation according to the Olay beauty experts.
• Olay day routine
During the day, your skin is exposed to harsh environmental factors, whether from the air conditioning, heating and/or the sun’s damaging rays. Even on a cloudy day, the sun’s rays can be extremely damaging to your skin. Your day time skin care regimen should comprise gentle cleansing, hydration and protection.
Step 1: Cleanse
Washing gently is the first step towards beautiful skin. Using a mild face wash that gently removes impurities, exfoliates the skin and washes away dirt in the morning will give your face a healthy, fresh glow and a smooth look. Apply the face wash with your finger tips, making circular motions over your face, and then rinse with clean, warm water. Make sure you follow up with a refreshing toner; your skin will be supplied with a significant amount of moisture–while softening it in the process.
Step 2: Moisturize and protect with SPF
Moisturizing your face before beginning the day ahead is a crucial element of a good skin care regimen. By locking in natural moisture, and protecting the skin from the harmful rays of the sun and impurities in the air, a day moisturizing cream with SPF will ensure your skin remains protected against harmful effects of the sun and is provided with the moisture it needs–all day long.

Serums contain a higher concentration of active ingredients that specifically target skin care problems while instantly improving texture and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Whilst concentrated levels of anti-aging ingredients can feel sticky on the skin when used in traditional creams and lotions, the concentrated ingredients in serum are enveloped inside the emulsion by silky silicone. This means the serum can contain higher concentrations of vitamins and anti-aging ingredients while still feeling silky on the skin. Serum can be applied before applying either day or night cream.
• Olay Night Routine
During the evening, it’s necessary to prepare your skin properly for the night by giving it the necessary nutrients it needs for replenishing itself as you sleep. It’s not called beauty sleep for nothing.
Step 1: Cleanse
When you cleanse your face at night, you’re removing layers of make-up, oil, grime and environmental pollutants from your skin. In the morning, your skin is nowhere near as “dirty” as it is at the end of the day!
Whether you decide to use a face wash or cleansing lotion as part of your night time cleansing regimen, don’t neglect your eyes. Make sure to use a specific eye make-up remover that will get rid of all traces of eye make up–including waterproof mascara-without being harsh on the delicate eye area, while leaving the skin around your eyes clean, soft and moisturized.
Step 2: Nourish
Before bed time, it’s essential to hydrate the skin with an efficient moisturizer that will nourish your skin with multi-vitamins and replace the skin’s vital moisture throughout the night. Night creams are more concentrated than day creams, nourishing the skin while stimulating its renewal process as you sleep.
Additional skin care products for your night routine
Eye gel can be applied either during the day or night. It’s an excellent option for reducing puffiness, or reducing fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles. Eye gels deeply moisturize and enhance the skin’s natural renewal process.
Whatever your skin type or the individual needs of your skin, a daily skin care routine with Olay is a fundamental step for having great looking, natural skin every day.
