If your quiz results point to dry or sensitive skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, or psoriasis, your skincare routine requires extra care to soothe irritation, rebuild your skin’s barrier, and maintain long-lasting hydration. These conditions often result from a weakened skin barrier, leading to redness, dryness, itchiness, or flare-ups.
To address these challenges, your skincare regimen should focus on gentle, hydrating, and barrier-repairing products while avoiding harsh ingredients that can aggravate sensitivity. Alongside personalized product recommendations, you’ll find helpful lifestyle tips to manage triggers and maintain skin health, promoting balance from the inside out.
