How to use them
Morning: cleanser, moisturiser, then SPF as your last step. Evening: cleanser, then moisturiser.
Use about two finger-lengths of sunscreen for your face and neck.
Why start here
Reactive skin does best with fewer, gentler products. Centella and barrier-repairing moisturisers help calm it, and daily sunscreen protects it. We leave out retinoids and exfoliating acids until your skin feels settled, then you can add one slowly.
Add next: A centella serum, once your skin feels calmer. See centella.
