COSRX-focused skincare routine for dry skin
A routine for dry skin built around COSRX products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.
Cleansers, toners and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid and ceramides help ease dehydration, flakiness and tightness. Serums and masks with niacinamide and copper tripeptide-1 may 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 it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine replaces the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps like exfoliation and masks for dry skin.
