EltaMD-focused skincare routine for sensitive skin

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

Cleansers and toners with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, niacinamide, and centella asiatica extract help calm redness and soothe stinging in sensitive skin. Serums and moisturizers with ceramides, snail secretion filtrate, and madecassoside strengthen the skin barrier to prevent reactions to new products.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day by cleaning off the night, hydrating, and protecting. 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 to add deeper steps like exfoliation and masks for sensitive skin.
