La Roche-Posay-focused skincare routine for dry skin
A routine for dry skin built around La Roche-Posay products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers, toners, makeup removers, masks, and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and panthenol help ease tightness, dehydration, and flakiness. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
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 the skin rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps that tackle flakiness and dehydration.
