Skincare routine for dry sensitive skin

Cleansers, toners, makeup removers, masks, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and centella asiatica extract help soothe and hydrate dry sensitive skin to ease tightness and redness. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide, ceramides, and vitamin c help smooth fine lines and wrinkles while supporting the skin barrier.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while the skin rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps like exfoliation and masks for dry sensitive skin.
