While you sleep, your body engages in essential repair and regeneration processes. Your skin is no exception; during the night, it undergoes increased cell turnover and improved blood flow, which aids in repairing damage and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Nighttime provides a perfect opportunity to support your skin’s natural repair mechanisms. Using the right products can enhance these processes, helping your skin appear refreshed and revitalised by morning.
Our Recommended Nighttime Routine
At Irene Forte Skincare, we combine the best of nature and science to deliver transformative results. Our carefully curated evening routine is designed to rejuvenate your skin overnight, featuring Irene’s favorite nighttime duo: Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum and Hibiscus Night Cream.
Face Routine
Step 1: Almond Cleansing Milk
Start your skincare routine by gently cleansing your skin with our Almond Cleansing Milk. Enriched with omega-rich almond oil, this luxurious cleanser effectively removes impurities and makeup while nourishing the skin. Massage onto dry skin in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Step 2: Helichrysum Toner
After cleansing, rebalance and hydrate your skin with our Helichrysum Toner. Infused with hyaluronic acid and helichrysum flower extract, this rejuvenating mist helps to plump the skin and enhance its natural radiance. Spritz onto your face, neck and décolleté, allowing the toner to absorb fully before proceeding to the next step.
Step 3: Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum
After toning, apply 1-2 drops of Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum. This breakthrough anti-ageing serum, supported by 35 years of research, is clinically proven to reduce five signs of ageing while soothing the skin. It features a potent blend of 70% APM™ and 30% Vitamin E. For an extra hydration boost, layer our water-based Triple Level Hyaluronic Serum underneath.
Dr. Ferri's patented extraction technique for Alpine Plant Melatonin harnesses the power of Phytomelatonin. Our Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum reduces the appearance of wrinkle depth and volume, brown spots, UV spots, red areas, and pore visibility, while notably increasing skin elasticity in clinical trials after just four weeks. With continued nighttime use, notice a visible youth boost, further enhanced by the protective antioxidant properties of 30% Vitamin E.
Step 4: Olive Eye Cream
After applying serum, gently tap Olive Eye Cream around the eye area and lightly massage any excess product using circular motions. This lightweight, non-pilling formula targets fine lines and wrinkles while Pro-Vitamin B5, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide B3, and Aloe Leaf Juice work together to hydrate and smooth the delicate under-eye skin.
Step 5: Hibiscus Night Cream
After eye cream, seal in serum with a generous layer of Hibiscus Night Cream. Using the breakthrough anti-ageing ingredient Myoxinol™, derived from Hibiscus Seeds, this transformative, award-winning night cream gives skin a youthful glow in just 10 days. Bio-peptide Myoxinol™ works together with Green Pea Polypeptides and Tetrapeptide to support skin's natural collagen and elastin synthesis, while Hyaluronic Acid hydrates and plumps the skin. Omega-rich Olive Oil and Tetra-Ceramide Complex assist in overnight moisture retention and skin barrier rejuvenation.
Irene’s tip
For an extra hydration boost, consider swapping Hibiscus Night Cream with our Pistachio Face Mask or layering Pistachio Face Oil over the night cream. Enhance the benefits by following our facial massage techniques, which you can find here.
Body Routine
Replenish with Pistachio Body Oil
Complete your evening routine with our Pistachio Body Oil, the ultimate nighttime restorer. This nourishing body oil addresses signs of ageing with the breakthrough ingredient Phytomelatonin alongside Sicilian Pistachio Oil, clinically proven to deliver visibly younger-looking, plumper, and more supple skin after four weeks of use. Developed with Phytomelatonin, a patented extract by Dr. Francesca Ferri, it boosts skin renewal and acts as a potent antioxidant. This fast-absorbing oil leaves skin softer and visibly healthier.
For an extra boost, start with dry body brushing before your shower or bath. Afterward, apply a lightweight layer of White Wine Body Cream on damp skin, followed by Pistachio Body Oil for optimal hydration and rejuvenation. We have also developed a signature massage routine for this oil, which you can view here or via the QR code on its box.
Irene’s Sleep Tips
We believe in the power of a well-crafted sleep routine. Keeping your bedroom solely for sleep, leaving electronic devices out of the room or switched off, and ensuring the room is as dark as possible can make a significant difference. Light, whether real or artificial, stimulates serotonin, which wakes us up, and counters melatonin production, which aids sleep. Mentally preparing yourself for sleep with a relaxing evening routine can also help. Your subconscious mind will start associating these calming rituals with sleep, allowing your body clock to wind down naturally.
Taking a bath before bed is a great way to unwind. It offers a mindful moment of self-care, allowing you to be alone with your thoughts while the warm water and bath products help you relax physically and mentally. Additionally, tru our relaxing face and body routines mentioned above.
