# Skincare routine for combination skin

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/skin/combination-skin

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United States.

Cleansers, toners, and moisturizers with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/glycerin), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/niacinamide) help balance dry cheeks and control oil in the T-zone. Exfoliating steps and cleansing toners with salicylic and [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/glycolic-acid) clear out pores.

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 and adds the deeper steps to balance combination skin.
