In this article, we will be discussing the reasons why it is so crucial to get a skincare routine for your dry sensitive skin.
There are many assumptions and theories out there that believe that having a skincare routine for people that suffer from dry sensitive skin or a combination is not a necessity.
Well, I am here to tell you otherwise, and within this article, I will be breaking down a few of the main reasons why you must have one.
Within the article, we will also discuss how essential it is to stick to a particular beauty regime and avoid using too many products at the same time. It can cause further breakouts or damages to your skin.
Why there’s this assumption that having a skincare routine is not that significant…
Well before digging into some of the reasons why you should consider having a skincare routine for your dry sensitive skin (if you still do not have one), let’s briefly discuss why many think otherwise.
During my journey I have heard many telling me that I did not really need a skincare routine for my dry sensitive skin. They also told me that my condition would eventually disappear with time. 
For a while, I believed them and did not use any product on my face. Wow was I wrong! My skin condition kept on getting worse and worse to the point that I now have to deal with a few permanent damages in a few areas of my skin.
You see, many assume that because the beauty industry makes billions every year (worth $532 billion, according to retail analytics) that all the products that they advertise and promote are a way for them to make money by convincing us to buy their products.
It might be true to some extent. This could be one of the reasons why many people are turning their backs on it and opting for no beauty routine at all!
But let me ask you something, do you think that they would spend all their time, efforts, their initial upfront costs (like trying samples, experimenting with products before putting them to the market) for nothing? NO, I don’t think so.
Are companies & brands here to help?
YES! Companies and brands are here to help us and make our life easier by giving us options. In my mind, they do not only think about making a profit.
Now, of course, we might be doubting about some products, but this is only because it might not be the one for us! Remember that there are millions of products out there and we should be really picky! Get an insight here to learn more about the skin types.
Besides, many might also be sceptical of the beauty regime simply because they claim that women of the past did not have one. This is because their skin was kept in proper conditions. Well, I am here to say that it is not quite right.
On the contrary, most women from the past used to struggle with their skin and their only remedy was to make their own products for their skins.
Luckily we now have the privilege of choosing from many options and products that can change our skin conditions for the better without having to make products for ourselves.
We only need to make sure that the ingredients that are on the products won’t have side effects or chemical reactions to our skin and we are good to go!
Furthermore, we may also know of someone that has flawless and gorgeous skin but does not have a skincare routine at all! They surely have amazing DNA!
Unfortunately, that is not the reality for the majority of us! And to get the skin that they do have, we need to have a skincare routine in our regime.
Guys, please ignore anyone that tells you that you do not need a skincare routine!
According to clinical aesthetician Marshall there is so much false information out there that people find it overwhelming to not even try to take care of their skin. They assume that a beauty regime is not needed.
Many also find it a waste of time and effortless but there is no way to tell if a routine is meant to work unless you give it time!
Having said that, we will now be discussing some of the main reasons why you should have a skincare routine for your skin type.
Reasons why it is important to have a routine for your dry sensitive skin
As many experts claim, it is important to maintain a consistent beauty regime. It is believed that taking care of our skin daily will result in healthier skin for the long term.
It is also believed that people without a routine will allow their skin to absorb pollutants like dirt and toxins. This will cause their skin to look wrinkled, dull, or in our case, dehydrated, sensitive, and more susceptible to bacteria.
Also, if you are someone that wears makeup regularly, you should definitely have a skincare routine, especially if you are suffering from dry sensitive skin.

What experts have to say about it?
According to skincare experts, proper skincare is essential for the following reasons:
- it helps your skin stay in good condition: if you do follow a skincare routine it means that you will get a greater opportunity to look after it properly and make it look healthy;
- Help your skin to keep glowing: as a result of your skincare routine, not only is your skin going to be healthier, but it is also going to glow and appear better as a result of it;
- An effective routine can be used to prevent acne, wrinkles, dehydration and make skin maintain a youthful appearance: How often have we heard that having a regimen is helpful to prevent further problems down the line especially when it comes to acne or wrinkles? The latter, are usually caused due to a lack or poor beauty regime; a statement which pretty much connects with my next point:
- it will help prevent skin problems in the future: our aim should always be the focus on the future; the more you take care of your skin now, the better results you will get later and your skin will be more likely to look younger and healthier;
- Your skin will look younger: it is important to get a consistent routine to give your skin the nourishment that it needs! And the more you take care of your skin, the more you will find yourself looking and feeling young!!
- Your self-confidence will boost: everyone knows that if you feel good, you are more likely to feel more confident about yourself!
As we have seen guys, good skin care is essential for everyone, not just those with dry sensitive skin. It is well known that healthy habits on our skin can help strengthen and prepare it for aging. SO the sooner you start with a skincare routine the better!
It is still pertinent to note that it is still wise to stick to a particular routine and not mix too many products at once. It could severely harm your skin and cause further damages, an argument which we are going to discuss down below.
Why should you stick to a ‘fixed’ skincare routine and not mix too many products?
Having a personalised skincare routine, and following it every single day will give you positive results that you may have not even imagined!
No matter how effective a skincare routine is, it is always fundamental to stick to a particular routine and avoid the mixing of too many products at once! This is called a negative or improper skincare routine and this can harm your skin in the future instead of improving it!
It is, therefore, necessary that you customize a regime for your specific skin and make sure that you stick to it and do it daily.
Skincare experts view:
According to dermatologists, having a personalised skincare routine that was built to meet the needs and problems of your skin type, can help get your skin goals faster.
In fact, customized skincare for dry sensitive skin will ensure that the products do not contain ingredients that can cause reactions or breakouts on the skin.
Mixing too many products at once can cause more harm than good to your skin. Indeed skincare expert Dr Graf, stated that using too much of a good thing, such as over-exfoliating your skin with multiple acids, for instance, can result in irritation, dryness, redness and worsened breakouts.
Guys everyone is different and you should know what your skin needs. Even two people who both have dry and sensitive skin can sometimes have varying complexions and needs. All of us are different and what might be right for you might not be for someone else.
If you are buying a product, make sure that you read the ingredients to ensure that any components in it won’t cause any unexpected reactions!
But most importantly, take your absolute time to get to know your skin and what it needs! Just remember to never mix too many products at once!
Well guys……..
By now you should be aware that having a skincare routine is indeed essential, especially for dry sensitive skin.
You may not see the results immediately but trust the process babe!
Take the time each day to show your skin love by implementing a skincare routine that works for you. You will be on your way to achieving gorgeous skin!
Be careful not to overuse products thinking that they will speed up the process! Stick to a simple yet efficient skincare routine and you will be far from obtaining and getting the skin that you always dreamed of!
I want to note again that it is pretty much unrealistic to get immediate results but the key here is consistency and patience!
Don’t forget that! Positive things in life take time! And achieving glowing and radiant skin is surely one of them!
