You're on the right track, Sonia! With dry, sensitive skin and your goals (firmness, glow, even tone), your current routine is quite good but needs slight fine-tuning for better anti-aging and barrier repair.
Next Steps
Morning:
Gentle facewash (Dot & Key is fine)
Plum 10% Niacinamide serum (continue)
Moisturizer (Cetaphil – good choice)
Add: Broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50) daily — this is crucial.
Night:
Gentle cleanse
Plum 1% Retinol serum (start with 2–3 nights/week only)
Rich moisturizer to lock in hydration.
Weekly:
Hydrating sheet mask once a week.
Consider adding a peptide serum or ceramide-based moisturizer for better firmness and plumpness.
Health Tips
Since your skin is sensitive, always moisturize before and after retinol to prevent dryness. Avoid over-exfoliating. Patience is key — true skin renewal takes 3–6 months.
