Skincare routine for dry sensitive skin
Cleansers and toners with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, allantoin, and chamomilla recutita flower extract help ease tightness and redness, while makeup removers and moisturizers with jojoba seed oil, camellia seed oil, apricot kernel oil, and squalane soften dry flakiness. Serums, masks, and enzyme powders with niacinamide, vitamin C, centella asiatica extract, and papain help smooth fine lines and wrinkles while keeping the skin calm.
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 for dry sensitive skin 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 help smooth out texture and deeply hydrate dry sensitive skin.
