If you have dry, sensitive skin, you’ve likely spent time (and money) trying to find products that actually help. Most either leave your skin greasy or do absolutely nothing. At Armony, we believe your skin isn’t a problem to fix, it’s a story to honour.
This guide walks you through a gentle, effective plant-based skincare routine that helps hydrate, soothe, and strengthen your skin barrier naturally.

Morning Routine for Dry, Sensitive Skin
1. Start with a Hydrating Cleanser (Non-Stripping)
Choose a sulfate-free, fragrance-free cleanser that removes dirt without drying. Your skin’s natural barrier is already compromised, don’t strip it more.
Pro Tip: Avoid foaming cleansers or anything with alcohol or menthol
2. Mist or Tone with Something Calming
Use a rosewater mist or chamomile-based toner to calm inflammation. Think of this as prepping the canvas.
3. Seal in Moisture with Face Oil
Apply 2–3 drops of Armony Citrus Glow Elixir while your skin is slightly damp.
Infused with sweet almond, argan oil, and vitamin C, it helps:
- Instantly hydrate flaky, dry areas
- Boost glow without clogging pores
- Strengthen the barrier with antioxidants
Why morning? This lightweight blend absorbs quickly and layers perfectly under SPF and makeup.
4. Always Use Sunscreen
Your skin is more sensitive to light damage. Use an SPF 30+ mineral sunscreen (zinc-based if possible).
Night Routine to Repair & Nourish
1. Double Cleanse Gently
Use a balm or oil cleanser first if you wear sunscreen or makeup, then follow up with a gentle cleanser.
2. Apply a Restorative Face Oil
Nighttime is when your skin regenerates. Tt’s the best time to apply richer nutrients.
Use Armony Rose Elixir, which contains jojoba oil, argan oil, vitamin E, and hand-pounded rose powder. This blend helps:
- Soothe redness and sensitivity
- Nourish deeply without clogging pores
- Restore radiance overnight
“My skin used to flake and burn even after moisturising. Switching to Armony face oils made me fall in love with my skin again.” – Mitali Singh, 34
Can You Use Face Oils Both Morning & Night?
Yes and here’s how to do it right:
- Morning: Choose a lightweight, non-greasy oil like Citrus Glow Elixir to protect and prep the skin for the day.
- Night: Go for a deeply nourishing blend like Rose Elixir to repair and calm while you sleep.
