Learn the correct steps to use the Hawthorne Dry Relief Skincare Set for dry, sensitive, or irritated skin, including cleansing and moisturizing tips.
Quick answer
Use the Dry Relief Skincare Set twice daily: start with the fragrance-free cleanser (aloe and rice bran), then apply the ultra-rich lotion (shea butter, almond oil, avocado oil, mango seed butter, vitamin E) to calm and repair dry, sensitive skin.
Why a gentle routine matters for sensitive skin
Dry, sensitive, or irritated skin needs products that avoid common triggers like fragrance, harsh surfactants, and heavy preservatives. The Dry Relief Skincare Set is formulated without fragrance and uses soothing ingredients like aloe and rice bran in the cleanser, plus nutrient-rich butters and oils in the lotion. A simple two-step routine—cleanse then moisturize—minimizes irritation while delivering deep hydration.
Step-by-step routine
- Step 1: Cleanse with the Dry Relief Face Cleanser: Wet your face with lukewarm water. Squeeze a small amount of the fragrance-free cleanser onto your fingertips and gently massage it over your face using circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel. Use morning and night. Common mistake: using hot water or scrubbing too hard. Hot water strips natural oils, and rough scrubbing irritates sensitive skin.
- Step 2: Apply the Dry Relief Face Lotion: While your skin is still slightly damp, dispense a pea-sized amount of the ultra-rich lotion onto your fingertips. Gently press and smooth it over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Allow it to absorb for a minute before applying makeup or sunscreen. Common mistake: skipping lotion on damp skin. Applying to slightly damp skin helps lock in extra hydration and makes the product spread more evenly.
- Step 3: Adjust as needed for your skin's condition: If your skin feels extra tight or irritated during the day, you can reapply a thin layer of the lotion to dry patches. The formula is rich enough to use as a spot treatment on flaky areas. Stick with the twice-daily routine for at least two weeks to see full results. Common mistake: expecting instant results. Sensitive skin needs consistent care; give it time to repair its barrier.
