Sensitive Skin SOS: Glowvanna’s Calming K-Beauty Routine

If your skin turns Red, stings, or flares up easily, you need a gentle, soothing ritualβ€”not harsh actives. This 4-step routine uses hypoallergenic K-beauty staples to repair your barrier, reduce redness, and hydrate without irritation.

Why This Routine Works for Sensitive Skin

βœ” Alcohol-free formulas

βœ” Centella asiatica, snail mucin, and oat extract to calm inflammation

βœ” No physical exfoliation (only gentle chemical exfoliants if tolerated)

βœ” Focuses on moisture retention to strengthen skin

πŸŒ™ PM Routine (Simplified for Delicate Skin)

1. Cleanse: Milky Comfort

Product: Snail Mucin Cleanser

β†’ Low-pH, creamy texture won’t strip skin.

β†’ Snail mucin soothes redness and irritation on contact.

(Morning alternative: Splash with lukewarm water only!)

2. Tone: Hydrate + Neutralize Redness

Product: Rice Water Brightening Toner (Alcohol-Free Version)

β†’ Pat on 2-3 layers for deep hydration.

β†’ Rice ferment calms while lightly brightening.

3. Treat: Barrier Repair Serum

Product: Advanced Snail Mucin 96 Serum

β†’ Snail mucin is nature’s healing agent (studies show it repairs wounds!).

β†’ Optional: Add 2 drops of centella asiatica extract for extra calming.

4. Moisturize: Lock in Soothing Relief

Product: Cica & Oat Gel Cream

β†’ Cica (centella) + colloidal oat reduce redness instantly.

β†’ Gel-cream texture cools hot, reactive skin.

(Night boost: Apply a thin layer of pure squalane oil if extra dry.)

β˜€οΈ AM Adjustments for Sensitive Skin

  • Skip AM cleansing (water only).
  • Use mineral SPF 50+ (zinc oxide is less irritating than chemical filters).
  • Avoid vitamin C or strong acids if prone to flushing.

🚫 What to Avoid with Sensitive Skin

βœ– Fragrance & essential oils (common irritants)

βœ– Physical scrubs (use a soft konjac sponge if needed)

βœ– Hot water (lukewarm only!)

βœ– Too many actives (stick to 1-2 gentle ingredients at a time)


When Will You See Results?

  • Immediate: Skin feels soothed, less tight.
  • 1 Week: Reduced redness, fewer flare-ups.
  • 4 Weeks: Stronger barrier, less reactivity.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tips

βœ” Patch test new products behind the ear first.

βœ” Store products in the fridge for extra cooling relief.
