A simple skincare routine over 60—cleanse, treat, protect.

Past 60, your skin doesn’t need a TED Talk. It needs consistency, hydration, and fewer irritants. This routine takes minutes, not willpower, and it’s designed to calm reactive, over-60 skin without piling on steps you won’t stick with.

• Fragrance-free + essential-oil-free

• Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)

• 2–3 steps most days

Morning (2 steps)

1. Cleanse — Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser with lukewarm water. No scrubbing pads, no “squeaky clean.”

2. Protect — Apply Schăf Moisturizer, then sunscreen. That’s the show.

If your skin enjoys a serum, insert it between cleanse and moisturize. Otherwise, skip it. Fewer steps = fewer reactions.

Evening (3 steps max)

1. Cleanse — Remove the day; avoid hot water.

2. Treat (optional) — If you tolerate actives, use a simple, skin-compatible one every other night.

3. Moisturize — Press (don’t rub) Schăf Moisturizer over face and neck; a touch more on cheeks/jawline.

Why this works better after 60

• Thinner barrier → irritants land harder. Cutting fragrance and essential oils removes two big triggers.

• Drier baseline → humectants + light lipids beat heavy waxes.

• Recovery > novelty → your skin does best with a steady rhythm, not product roulette.

Troubleshooting the usual suspects

Tight after cleansing?
Use less cleanser, cooler water, and moisturize immediately—damp skin + moisturizer is your friend.

Makeup pilling?
Use a smaller amount of moisturizer on the T-zone; let it set 60–90 seconds before SPF or makeup.

Sting from “natural” creams?
That’s often essential oils or masking fragrance. Schăf is EO-free + fragrance-free by design.

FAQs

Do I need toner?
No. If a specific calming mist agrees with you, fine—but it’s optional.

Eye cream?
Use your moisturizer around the eyes, gently. Separate eye creams are a preference, not a requirement.

How long to feel a difference?
Comfort is usually day one because we removed common irritants. Texture looks better as your barrier settles.
