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, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides help hydrate dry skin, ease tightness, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Makeup removers and masks with safflower seed oil, centella asiatica extract, and trehalose soothe irritation, while exfoliating steps gently clear away flakiness.

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. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds deeper steps to help address flakiness, tightness, dehydration, fine lines, and wrinkles.
