Use the SOVAH skincare routine finder to match your skin type, main concern and preferred number of steps with a suitable daily routine. The result recommends one SOVAH routine and, only when useful, one targeted add-on.

How the skincare routine finder works

The finder asks about five factors: your skin type, your main concern, how sensitive your skin feels, the result you want and whether you prefer a simple or more complete routine. These answers are combined to select the closest available SOVAH routine. The tool is a practical product guide and not a medical diagnosis.

Skin type and skin concern are different

  • Dry skin often needs gentle cleansing and richer moisturising care.
  • Oily skin can benefit from effective cleansing and lightweight hydration without over-cleansing.
  • Combination skin usually needs balanced care for both oilier and drier areas.
  • Sensitive skin benefits from a simple routine and slowly introduced products.
  • Normal skin is generally balanced but still needs cleansing, hydration and daily care.
  • Dehydrated skin lacks water and can occur alongside any skin type, including oily skin.

A concern describes what you want to address, such as blemishes, sensitivity, dull-looking skin, uneven-looking tone or fine lines. That is why two people with the same skin type can receive a different recommendation.

What a basic skincare routine needs

  1. Cleanse: remove dirt, excess oil and daily buildup without making the routine unnecessarily harsh.
  2. Hydrate or target: add a toner or serum when it matches your skin's needs.
  3. Moisturise: support a comfortable skin feel and help limit moisture loss.
  4. Protect during the day: finish with a suitable broad-spectrum sunscreen, especially when using exfoliating or active products.

Simple SOVAH routines contain two clear core steps. Complete routines contain several compatible products in a practical order. More products are not automatically better; consistency and suitability matter more.

Before using a new product

Check the full ingredient list on the product page and patch test each new product before first use. Introduce one new product at a time, especially when your skin is sensitive or when you use exfoliating formulas. Stop use if persistent irritation occurs and ask a qualified professional for advice when you have a diagnosed skin condition or ongoing symptoms.
