If you have sensitive skin, the last thing you need is a complicated, expensive, and irritating 10-step routine. Archwood is here to prove that less is truly more, especially when your products are formulated with potency and purity in mind. We advocate for a "no BS" approach to healthy skin that focuses on restoring and protecting your skin barrier, not stripping it.

Common Mistakes Sensitive Skin Makes: Sensitive skin often reacts poorly to over-exfoliation, fragrance, and layering too many "active" ingredients (like multiple acids or retinoids). Our approach minimizes these risks by focusing on foundational, clean products.

Your Archwood Minimalist Routine:

1. Cleanse (Daily): Use the Clarifying Shampoo for your scalp and the Sea Salt Soap for your body. Our soap is gentle yet effective, built on a foundation of clean ingredients that won't strip your skin's natural moisture barrier due to our refusal to use harsh sulfates.

2. Moisturize (Daily): Apply the Moisturizing Conditioner to your hair, and follow with a simple, high-quality unscented lotion for your body. Focus on nourishing, barrier-supporting ingredients (like ceramides or squalane) and always apply to damp skin to lock in hydration.

3. Target (As Needed): Use only targeted treatments (like a simple hyaluronic acid serum or a mineral SPF) as necessary. Avoid mixing too many active ingredients at once, and always patch-test new products.

This routine is built on the foundational concept that the products you use should do no harm and should deliver real results without unnecessary fillers or irritants.
