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, makeup removers, masks, and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid and glycerin help relieve dehydration and flakiness. Serums, masks, and moisturizers with niacinamide and ceramides help smooth fine lines and wrinkles while easing tightness.

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 replaces the regular evening routine once a week to add deeper steps that target flakiness, tightness, and dehydration.
