Skincare routine for dry skin
Cleansers and toners with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera help tackle dehydration and tightness by pulling moisture into the skin. Moisturizers and masks with ceramides, squalane, and panthenol help smooth away flakiness and fine lines by locking in hydration and strengthening 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 and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps to help with flakiness, tightness, dehydration, fine lines, and wrinkles.
