Skincare routine for dry skin

Routine by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Cleansers, toners, serums, masks and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ceramides help hydrate and smooth out fine lines, while sunscreens and nourishing steps with centella asiatica extract and panthenol calm and protect dry skin.

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 and is away from the sun. This weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps to ease flakiness and tightness.
