beplain-focused skincare routine for combination skin
A routine for combination skin built around beplain products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers and toners with salicylic acid and niacinamide help control oil and clear out pores, while moisturizers and serums with hyaluronic acid and glycerin bring lasting moisture to dry areas.
The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds deeper steps for an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks.

Products are rated for the concerns frequently associated with combination skin: an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks. For a routine based on your full skin profile, including your 12D face scan results and any goals or preferences you have, please use the Lovi app.
