30-day skincare plan for sensitive skin
Thirty days is long enough to see direction, not a finish line. This plan for sensitive skin moves from baseline to review in four short stages.
Week 1: baseline
Scan cheeks, nose and chin, where reactions tend to show first. Cut the routine to fragrance-free cleanser, moisturizer and SPF. Cut the routine to cleanser, moisturizer and mineral SPF for two weeks before reintroducing anything.
Week 2: first active
Introduce centella on two nights. Keep notes on how skin feels, not just how it looks.
Week 3: steady state
Hold the routine. If skin is comfortable, add one night of centella; if not, stay at two. Avoid essential oils and high-strength acids daily.
Week 4: review
Compare week-one and week-four scans of cheeks, nose and chin, where reactions tend to show first. Decide: keep, adjust or swap in panthenol.
Remember that two to four weeks of simplification before the baseline calms; day 30 is a checkpoint.
