Routines Lotte recommends

Care for blemish-prone skin
Blemish-prone skin needs targeted care – and to be left undisturbed so it doesn’t become irritated.
Anti-redness
Redness-prone skin needs a gentle touch – fewer products, but the right ones.
Basic routine
Three steps that suit most people. Cleanse, moisturise and protect – every day.
Glow with oil
Oil and a mild peel are a good pair for dry, dull skin: the peel removes dead skin cells, and the oil nourishes.
Light and even skin
A tinted cream is day cream and foundation in one – giving you hydration and an even skin tone without multiple layers.
Firming
When skin loses firmness, it’s about giving it something to rebuild with – and protecting what you build.
Firming with oil
Firming Face Oil nourishes mature skin – and with retinol in the evening, you get both firmness and renewal.
Renewal (vitamin A)
Vitamin A is the strongest thing you can give your skin for cell renewal – but it needs the right routine around it.
Moisture and collagen
Here’s how I would build a simple routine that gives skin moisture and plumpness morning and evening.
Glow and protection
Vitamin C and sun protection are the strongest pair in the morning: one protects against free radicals, the other against the sun.
Men
A routine that takes a couple of minutes and is easy to stick to.
Soft lips
Dry lips need two things: removal of dead skin cells and a layer that locks in moisture.
1. Scrub Lip Scrub 30 ml
2. Lip Balm Lip Balm
Mask routine
Once a week: a peel to give your skin a fresh start, followed by a moisture boost. If your pores need it, use a clay mask in between.
Pigmentation
Pigmentation spots require patience and sun protection – then it works.
Smooth and fresh skin
A scrub that cleanses and exfoliates in one – the rest of the routine just needs to moisturise and protect.
Self-tanner for the face
An even, natural glow is all about the preparation: smooth skin first – then colour little by little.
Skin Balance (blemishes)
Unsettled skin needs calm and balance – not harsh scrubbing.
Weekly spa routine
Once a week: a strong peel followed immediately by a moisture boost, when the skin is ready to absorb it.
Dry and sensitive skin
Dry and sensitive skin needs calm and moisture – a mild cleanser and care that stays in the skin.
