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, removers, masks, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and ceramides help ease flakiness and tightness. Toners, serums, and masks with aloe vera leaf juice, licorice root extract, niacinamide, and centella asiatica extract help calm redness while smoothing 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 it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine is for adding deeper steps like exfoliation and masks to clear flakiness and smooth out fine lines once a week.
