Skincare routine for dry skin
Cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides help relieve dehydration and tightness, while steps with ceramides and hyaluronic acid smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Makeup removers and nourishing masks with squalane, shea butter, and allantoin ease flakiness and soften 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 away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps of exfoliation and masks to care for dry skin.
