The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Arab Emirates.

Topical [peppermint oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/peppermint) brings a noticeable cooling sensation and a flushed, energized look to the skin by stimulating sensory nerve fibers. It suits most skin types well and is easily found in nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum). When building a routine, simply apply it apart from your [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [tri-ceramide complex](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/tri-ceramide-complex) products.

[Hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) Keep apart Use them at different times of day, applying [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) first and [peppermint oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/peppermint) later, because strong essential oils can irritate freshly hydrated skin.

## Questions and answers

### What does peppermint oil do for the skin?

[Peppermint oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/peppermint) may cause skin irritation, cold sensations, and increased blood flow because it activates and sensitizes nerve fibers in the skin.

[Brain, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14985268/)

### How do you use peppermint oil?

You can use peppermint oil by keeping it separate from [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [tri-ceramide complex](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/tri-ceramide-complex), applying those partner ingredients first and the oil later at different times of day.

### Should you use peppermint oil in the morning or at night?

You can use peppermint oil at either time of day, but when combining it with hyaluronic acid or a tri-ceramide complex, you should use those hydrating and repair ingredients at one time of day and apply the peppermint oil at a different time.

### Can you use peppermint oil every day?

You can use peppermint oil every day, but it may cause skin irritation or increased sensitivity since strong essential oils activate sensory fibers.

[Brain, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14985268/)

### Does peppermint oil cause purging or irritation?

Yes, peppermint oil may cause irritation because strong essential oils can trigger sensory reactions in the skin. It is unlikely to cause true purging.

[Brain, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14985268/)

### Which skin types is peppermint oil best for?

Peppermint oil is best for oily and acne-prone skin types because it helps reduce excess oil and calm irritation. Popular products featuring it include Lush Mask of Magnaminty and Origins Peace of Mind On-the-Spot Relief.

### Can you use peppermint oil with hyaluronic acid?

You should keep peppermint oil and hyaluronic acid apart by using them at different times of day. Apply hyaluronic acid first and peppermint oil later, because strong essential oils can irritate freshly hydrated skin.
