Skincare routine for dry, sensitive skin—Julia's personal journey

Finding the right skincare routine can be a challenge, especially for those with sensitive skin that reacts to active ingredients.

We got to follow Julia, who has struggled with red cheeks, clogged pores, dry skin and hormonal breakouts.

This description outlines the skincare routine Julia followed during her eight-week program. If you’re experiencing similar skin concerns, use it as inspiration for how the right care can make a difference

All the photos were taken by Julia herself during the process.

Julia's skin challenges:


"
I struggle with redness around my cheeks, and I think it might be rosacea. I also have times when I get a lot of whiteheads, and clogged pores usually occur around my period. My skin is very sensitive and reacts strongly to products containing active ingredients and exfoliating products. My skin is on the dry side.

Although rosacea is a chronic skin condition, we focus on relieving symptoms and improving the overall health of the skin through hydration, soothing ingredients, and gentle care.

Julia's skincare routine

Morning:

A gentle and nourishing morning cleanse provides an excellent base for subsequent products. Cleansing is followed up with two serums. Cica Serum to soothe and Hyaluronic Acid Serum to hydrate and balance the skin. Finish the routine with a rich moisturizer and a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.

1. Vitamin C Cleansing Foam

Gentle cleanser that removes impurities while nourishing the skin.


2. Vitamin C Toner

The toner removes excess dirt and impurities that can clog pores, helping your skin better absorb the products that follow in your routine.


3. Cica Serum

Soothes irritation and redness and strengthens the skin with its healing properties.


4. Serum Hyaluronic Acid

Provides intensive moisture. The serum leaves skin hydrated and supple.


5. Hyaluronic Acid Plumming Day Cream

Moisturizes and nourishes the skin. Reduces fine lines and improves skin elasticity.


6. Sunscreen (min. SPF 30)

Protection from the sun's harmful rays is essential, especially when using exfoliating products that can make the skin more sensitive. Julia chose a light and oil-free sunscreen that doesn't clog pores.


7. Anti-pimple Patches (apply as needed)

Contains active ingredients that dry out impurities and soothe skin irritations. They are deeply cleansing and reduce impurities and blackheads.

Evening:

 

In the evening, the skin is cleansed again using nourishing, gentle products. This step washes away the day's buildup and prepares the skin to absorb repairing and replenishing treatments. Serum EGF is used to repair and rebuild the skin. Apply Serum BHA 2%, a gentle but effective peel, two to three times a week. It removes dead skin cells, helping to reduce clogged pores that lead to impurities.

1. Cleanse with Vitamin C Cleansing Foam and Toner

2. Serum EGF

Serum EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) helps boost the skin's natural repair and stimulates cell renewal, helping to strengthen the skin from within.

3. Serum Collagen

Collagen is an essential protein for maintaining skin structure, and this serum helps keep skin firm and elastic while reducing visible signs of aging.

4. Two to three times a week: Serum 2 % BHA

BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) is perfect for removing dead skin cells while helping to reduce clogged pores. Start slowly and listen to your skin to ensure it doesn’t become irritated.

5. Vitamin C Night Cream

Vitamin C is known for its powerful antioxidant properties. The night cream helps protect the skin from environmental damage and brightens areas of pigmentation.
 
6. Anti-Pimple Patches (apply as needed)
Contains active ingredients that dry out impurities and soothe skin irritations. They are deeply cleansing and reduce impurities and blackheads.

During periods:

 

Like many women, Julia experiences hormonal breakouts in the form of pimples, whiteheads and clogged pores. To minimize outbreaks, we recommend:

1. Lacto Collagen Sheet Mask –  two to three times a week

This mask soothes the skin and reduces the likelihood of whiteheads appearing. It helps rebuild the skin's balance. It provides intensive care and moisture during your periods, when hormonal fluctuations can affect the skin. Always use a moisturizer after the mask.

 

2. Pimple Patches as needed

Use patches on the pimples you feel are about to break out. They can't remove a full-blown pimple, but they can help reduce the size of the breakout and help prevent it from getting worse.

 

After eight weeks, Julia's skin has improved significantly. Her skin no longer feels irritated and her redness has minimized. Her skin has become even and balanced.

In addition to her eight-week routine, Julia has been given these tips to follow:

  • Change pillowcases to silk or satin. It doesn't wick bacteria and moisture like cotton does, and can prevent impurities. It's also beneficial for the hair, as it retains its shine and prevents it from becoming frizzy or dry.
  • Change your bedding once a week to prevent bacteria that can lead to impurities.
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Change your face towel every three days to prevent bacteria.
  • Avoid too much sugar and junk food.
  • Do not use other skincare products as this may impair the effect.
