Simple-focused skincare routine for dry sensitive skin
A routine for dry sensitive skin built around Simple products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers and toners with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, centella asiatica extract, and chamomilla recutita flower extract help calm redness, soothe tightness, and retain hydration. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide, ceramides, vitamin c, squalane, and jojoba seed oil address flakiness, fine lines, and wrinkles.
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 that help clear flakiness and smooth fine lines.
