Thayers-focused skincare routine for dry sensitive skin

A routine for dry sensitive skin built around Thayers products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides help lock in moisture to ease tightness and smooth fine lines. Makeup removers and nourishing masks with jojoba and sunflower seed oils, along with soothing steps containing centella asiatica and licorice root extract, help calm redness and reduce flakiness.

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 it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds deeper steps to help smooth and refresh dry sensitive skin.
