Night Routine For Dry Skin: Repair + Hydrate + Smooth

Night Routine For Dry Skin: Repair + Hydrate + Smooth

Night time is when dry skin recovers best — so the goal is to cleanse gently, use exfoliation wisely (so you don’t over-dry), then layer hydration + barrier-friendly moisture to wake up with skin that feels soft, plump, and comfortable.

This 4-step routine is designed to help with tightness, rough texture, dullness, and dehydration, while supporting a healthier-looking skin barrier over time.

✅ This 4-step routine includes

• Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (236ml)
• Toner: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (240ml)
• Serum: CeraVe Hyaluronic Acid Serum (30ml)
• Moisturizer: Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream (50ml)

Together, these products cleanse without stripping, gently smooth the look of texture, boost hydration, and lock it all in for overnight repair.

Why This Routine Works for Dry Skin

Dry skin improves when you combine:

• Gentle cleansing (no tight feeling)
• Controlled exfoliation (to remove dull buildup without damaging the barrier)
• Hydration layering (serum + cream = real comfort)

✨ The key here is using glycolic acid the right way, so it smooths without making dryness worse.
