Many of us can’t imagine our mornings and evenings without a skincare routine. Regular application of nourishing and protective ingredients brightens and heals the skin, helps it function properly, and makes us feel comfortable in our skin.

However, finding products that truly suit your skin can be quite a challenge. And this holds true even if you already have your “go-to” cosmetics. Just a slight change in your skin’s characteristics (e.g., with age) can make your previously used products no longer suitable. Skin needs also change throughout the year or with lifestyle changes.

In the end, you’re faced with choosing from a wide array of products and even more active ingredients. How do you navigate this? And how do you incorporate DrySerum into your routine?

Start with a Simple Question

First, clarify what you want to achieve: Do you want to prevent wrinkles and dark circles under your eyes? Is your goal to get rid of oily (or, conversely, dry) skin? Are you struggling with acne or another skin issue?

Different problems require different cosmetics and active ingredients. Your skincare routine will also differ depending on whether you apply it in the morning or evening. Additionally, the order in which you apply the products matters.

The goal of a morning routine is to prepare your skin for the day. This includes protection against harmful external factors (such as UV radiation, polluted air, etc.) and their negative effects.

In the evening, on the other hand, we remove makeup, cleanse impurities, and provide the skin with nutrients so it can rest and regenerate thoroughly overnight.

Consistency is key: while no miraculous elixir can transform neglected skin overnight, if you stick to your beauty regimen, you’ll see positive results in just one week.

The goal of all the following routines is to:

prevent wrinkle formation (and smooth existing ones),
maintain full facial contours,
prevent premature aging of the skin and rejuvenate it.

Basic Skincare Routine

Follow this process if you have healthy skin. In certain variations, it also applies to oily, dry, and mature skin, as well as skin with excessive pigmentation (see below).

The basic routine is summarized in this table:

Morning Routine

Every morning skincare routine, which everyone should indulge in (at least from time to time), begins with 1) rinsing the face with lukewarm water. If you apply nourishing oil-based cosmetics at night, it’s important to remove the residue with a cleansing oil-based product. Spread it thoroughly and gently massage it in before thoroughly cleansing your skin with water and drying it.

2) Apply a water-based cleansing gel or foam to the skin. This will help remove impurities, sebum, and some dead skin cells. Choose the specific type of cleanser and day/night cream (as mentioned in the following lines) according to your needs – you know best what cosmetics suit your skin.

3) Moisten the skin again and apply a mask or patch with dry serum. Nanofibers adhere to the skin and dissolve, releasing the encapsulated active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. These vary with each mask in the 7‑Day Program (the patches in the Magic Eye Patches product for brightening eye contours have the same composition). Remove the mask or patch after a few seconds.

DrySerum replaces regular serum in your skincare routine and is compatible with all types of cosmetics. It contains collagen peptides that help hydrate the skin and activate the production of natural collagen.

The individual masks and patches also contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients that suppress free radicals responsible for skin aging. They also include:

fermented ingredients (e.g., pomegranate extract or lactobacillus ferment) that provide the skin with various nutrients,
an extract from the algae genus Nannochloropsis, which helps restore the skin's natural microbiome.

Once a week, treat your skin to a deep cleanse using an enzymatic peeling. This will remove dead skin cells and impurities, improve skin texture, and even smooth out very fine wrinkles. In the 7-Day Program, one of the masks with exfoliating effects serves the purpose of peeling.

After peeling, the skin is very sensitive – consider including exfoliation in your evening routine (to avoid unnecessary strain on the skin from sunlight and other external factors). If the skin is irritated, avoid peeling!

4) Continue with applying a day cream. Its purpose is to “lock in” the absorbed active ingredients and prevent dehydration. It forms a thin film on the face that softens the skin and protects it from dust and other impurities throughout the day.

In summer, opt for a lighter cream that allows the skin to breathe. During the winter months, choose a cream with a thicker texture (to prevent drying and damage to the skin from frost).

5) The last step is applying an SPF product (e.g., a sunscreen) that protects the skin from UV radiation. Use SPF cosmetics year-round: if you have very fair skin, use a product with SPF over 50 in the summer. In winter, SPF 50 will suffice.

Evening Routine

The first step of the evening skincare routine is to 1) remove makeup and impurities with a two-phase cleansing product. Shake it thoroughly to combine the oil and water phases, massage it into your face, and wipe it off after a moment. Use a two-phase cleanser even if you don’t wear makeup.

Using a cleanser will remove sebum and other important substances that benefit your skin's health. Therefore, continue by applying products that replenish these nutrients: a mask or patch with dry serum (3 evenings during the week-long treatment) and a night cream.

2) Apply dry serum – the same as in the morning – to damp skin and remove the mask or patch after a few seconds.

In the 7-Day Program, the evening masks are formulated to provide deep nourishment, fight premature skin aging, and help the skin to relax.

In the case of Magic Eye Patches, all patches have the same effect: wrinkle smoothing, toning of the eye contours, and removal of dark circles under the eyes.

3) Apply a night cream, which locks in nutrients and deeply hydrates the skin. As mentioned earlier, feel free to choose a product with high viscosity – the goal is to allow skin cells to regenerate as much as possible overnight.

Skincare Routine for Dry and Mature Skin

Dry skin is characterized by a lack of water and sebum. It tends to develop scales and cracks, has a rough texture, and is less elastic. It is often accompanied by increased wrinkle formation and a feeling of tightness. It is also sensitive to weather changes, especially cold and dry air.

Mature skin is similar to dry skin in its loss of elasticity and increased wrinkle formation. Additionally, it is often marked by increased pigmentation and thinning of the skin.

When designing a skincare routine for these skin types, you should focus on increased hydration and sufficient protection against UV radiation and pollution.

It’s also important to minimize the number of products applied. Each additional product increases the loss of skin lipids, leading to even faster skin drying. For this reason, DrySerum formulations replace multiple serums with a single mask. It combines:

a botox-like effect – smoothing wrinkles and firming the skin,
antioxidant effects – eliminating free radicals and rejuvenating the skin,
protection against impurities – selected active ingredients form a protective barrier that prevents dirt and pathogens from adhering to the skin.

For morning care:

after applying dry serum, use a hydrating product with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or centella asiatica,
for extra skin protection, use a thicker day cream,
don’t forget to use an SPF product with SPF 70, even when it’s cloudy – UV rays penetrate even through thick clouds,
apply peeling only in the evening.

For evening care:

to restore the skin’s lipid barrier, use a night cream with a high concentration of argan or jojoba oil.

Skincare Routine for Oily Skin

Oily skin is characterized by excessive sebum production. It appears shiny, has enlarged pores, and is prone to inflammatory processes, leading to acne and blackheads.

When designing a skincare routine for oily skin, it’s essential to focus on thorough cleansing and sebum regulation. Contrary to popular belief, it’s also important not to forget about adequate hydration.

Additionally, make sure your skin is truly oily and not just dehydrated; start with the basic routine (see above) and if issues persist over the week, supplement it with the elements below.

For morning care:

always cleanse the skin with an oil-based product,
if you feel tightness during the day, add a light hydrating product, such as a gel with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or centella asiatica,
skip the day cream if necessary (but don’t forget to apply SPF).

For evening care:

if acne occurs, use a product with salicylic acid, tea tree extract, niacinamide, or zinc.

Skincare Routine for Skin with Excess Pigmentation

Excessive pigmentation is caused by increased sun exposure, hormonal changes, and inflammatory processes. Increased pigmentation is also a sign of aging skin. Therefore, for this skin type, focus on sufficient protection and melanin reduction…

For morning care:

use a high SPF product,
apply a cream with increased antioxidant content (vitamin C or E), which also brightens the skin.
