Skincare routine for sensitive skin
Cleansers and toners with glycerin, aloe vera, and centella asiatica help calm redness and stinging. Serums and moisturizers with ceramides and niacinamide strengthen the skin against reactions to new products.
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 away from the sun. This weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to help calm redness, stinging, and reactions in sensitive skin.
