Thayers-focused skincare routine for sensitive skin
A routine for sensitive skin built around Thayers products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers with glycerin, niacinamide, panthenol, centella asiatica extract, and licorice root extract help calm redness and stinging. Moisturizers and serums with ceramides and squalane help strengthen the skin against reactions to new products.
The morning routine prepares the skin for the day by clearing off the night, hydrating, and protecting with sunscreen as its final step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, while treating the skin while it rests away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds deeper steps.
