Skincare routine for dry sensitive skin
Cleansers and toners with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides help soothe tightness and flakiness. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide, squalane, and centella asiatica extract help calm redness and smooth 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 away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds deeper steps like masks and exfoliation to help manage flakiness and tightness.
