# Skincare routine for combination skin

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/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 Kingdom.

Cleansers and toners with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/niacinamide) and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/salicylic-acid) help control oil and clear enlarged pores, while moisturizers and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/serum) with [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/glycerin), and ceramides bring needed moisture to dry cheeks.

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, while treating the skin safely away from the sun. This weekly routine is for giving combination skin a deeper clean and extra care once a week in place of the usual evening steps.

Products are rated for the concerns frequently associated with combination skin: an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks.
