As the crisp air of fall settles in, your skincare routine needs a cozy refresh too. The cooler temps, drier air, and changing seasons can strip moisture from your skin, leaving it dull, tight, or flaky. If you’re over 40, your skin already has unique needs…and fall is the perfect time to level up. That’s where waterless skincare comes in. Unlike traditional products filled with water and preservatives, waterless beauty products are rich in nourishing, bioactive ingredients that actually do something. Let’s dive into why waterless skincare is ideal for fall and which products will help your skin glow through sweater weather and beyond.
FAQs
- What is waterless skincare? Waterless skincare skips added water and is made with bioactive ingredients like olive leaf cell elixir and cold-pressed oils for maximum results.
- Why is waterless skincare better for fall? Cooler weather often leads to dry, dehydrated skin. Waterless products are more concentrated and nourishing, helping skin stay hydrated and glowy.
- Is waterless skincare good for aging skin? Yes! Waterless products are especially beneficial for women over 40. They support hydration, elasticity, and a healthy glow without harsh fillers or preservatives.
- Can I layer waterless skincare with my current products? Absolutely. Start with waterless cleansers and serums to build a strong foundation, and layer as needed with your favorite eye creams or moisturizers.

The Benefit of Waterless Skincare in Cooler Weather
The cooler fall and winter months bring crisp, dry, and harsh air and weather and that can be rough on our mature skin! We’re already seeing the hormonal signs of aging in our skin and then add the dryer weather on top of that and our skin can freak out!
Unlike most skincare (which contains 70% water, preservatives, fillers, and processed oils), Oliveda’s waterless formulas are powered by 70% olive leaf cell elixir (hydroxytyrosol) and 25% bioactive arbequina oil…giving your skin more of what it actually needs to glow and thrive.
Mature Skin Needs Hydration
As we age, our skin our estrogen can decrease so we produce less collagen and have less hydrated skin, our progesterone can shift so our oil production goes wonky, and our testosterone levels can change and it can cause breakouts in areas we haven’t broken out before!
So it’s important to give our skin extra hydration and nourishment as we age! The drugstore skincare products just won’t cut it anymore. You need potent and powerful bioactive ingredients to help you age gracefully.
Best Products for Fall Skincare Routine
Contrary to popular belief, you do not need a 12-step skincare routine in order to have healthy, hydrated, and happy skin. When you are using nourishing products with high quality ingredients, you don’t need a million products. A simple 5 step skincare routine will suffice for a fall routine with waterless products. Here are the 5 products that I think work great on any skin type/;
- Cleansing Oil– Using an oil cleanser instead of a gel cleanser will be more hydrating and won’t strip your skin’s natural oils as much. Remember though to use an oil cleanser on dry hands and dry skin. Then remover with warm water and a clean cloth.
- Hydrating Toner– Restore your skin’s natural pH level and hydrate it with a good toner! You can spray your face directly and let it air dry, spray your hands and rub your hands on your face, or spray a cotton pad and wipe the pad on your face. It’s a matter of preference =)
- Hyaluronic Serum– A hyaluronic serum is so good for your skin any time of the year, but especially in the colder months when your skin needs extra hydration. It hydrates the skin, regenerates skin cells, plumps + firms the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes skin elasticity. Learn more about the benefits of a hyaluronic serum and the benefits of drinking hyaluron too!
- Eye Cream– Our under eye area is more delicate and fragile and it needs more TLC. It’s so important to invest in a good eye cream! The F09 is a great one for reducing wrinkles and if you want even more benefits like reducing darkness and lifting the eye area, then the F60 is a great option too!
- Face Cream– This is KEY for hydrated and happy skin! A nice nourishing face cream will moisturize your skin and make it so happy! This one is a great option for day and/or night ad works beautifully on any skin type.
Fall is a season of change and your skin deserves to thrive through it! Waterless skincare delivers deep hydration, powerful nutrients, and glow-boosting ingredients exactly when your skin needs it most. Whether you’re just starting your waterless journey or looking to refine your routine, this is the perfect time to fall in love with products that actually work. Ready to glow all season long?
