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, masks, and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid and glycerin help ease dehydration and tightness, while steps with ceramides and niacinamide smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Nourishing masks and moisturizers with panthenol and centella asiatica extract soothe flakiness and support dry skin.

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 to add deeper treatments and help target flakiness, tightness, and fine lines.
