Skincare routine for dry sensitive skin

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

Cleansers, toners, makeup removers, and masks with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and centella asiatica extract help soothe irritation and relieve tightness, while nourishing oils like sweet almond oil and squalane ease flakiness. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide, ceramides, and vitamin C help smooth fine lines and wrinkles while supporting the skin barrier.

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 to add deeper steps like masks and exfoliation that help smooth fine lines and address flakiness.
