Simple Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin

A simple skincare routine for sensitive, reactive skin—cleanse, treat, protect.

If your face throws a tantrum every time you try something “new,” the answer isn’t more bottles—it’s fewer irritants and fewer steps. Schăf is built for that.

  • Zero fragrance, zero essential oils

  • Non-comedogenic

  • 2–3 steps you can actually stick with

Morning (2 steps)

  1. Cleanse — Gentle, quick, lukewarm.

  2. Moisturize + protect — Apply Schăf Moisturizer; finish with sunscreen.

Evening (3 steps max)

  1. Cleanse — No hot water; pat dry, don’t rub.

  2. Treat (optional) — If your skin protests, move this to every other night or skip for a week.

  3. Moisturize — Press in; add a pea more where you’re driest.

Decision-free version? The 3-Step System lays it out for you.

Why sensitive skin loves “boring” formulas

  • Fragrance (including “unscented” with masking agents) is a top trigger.

  • Essential oils can sensitize over time, even if they felt fine at first.

  • Busy routines compound risk; every extra layer is another chance to irritate.

How to reset a cranky barrier (7-day plan)

  • Days 1–3: Cleanser + Moisturizer only.

  • Days 4–7: Introduce one serum (if you must), every other night.

  • Day 8+: Keep anything that didn’t cause drama; toss what did.

FAQs

Is “unscented” the same as “fragrance-free”?
No. “Unscented” often hides fragrance. Schăf is truly fragrance-free.

Can I still use actives?
Yes—just one at a time, and only if your skin is calm. Layer after cleansing, before moisturizer.

What if I’m oily and sensitive?
Use a smaller amount on the T-zone. Our moisturizer is lightweight and non-comedogenic.

Calm > complicated

Sensitive skin responds to consistency, not chaos. Start with the 3-Step System, or go single-product with Schăf Moisturizer and add only what your skin actually misses.
