## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against Freeman Cucumber Peel-Off Mask for combination skin?

Lovi advises against using this mask on combination skin because peel-off formulas with alcohol can strip moisture from dry areas while failing to balance oily shine. Combination skin needs products with ingredients like salicylic acid and zinc oxide for oil control, along with soothing hydrators that maintain overall skin balance.

### Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for combination skin?

This mask contains alcohol and polyvinyl alcohol, which may strip and irritate dry areas while failing to balance oily shine. Combination skin needs products with ingredients like salicylic acid and zinc oxide to control oil without causing irritation.

### What does Cucumber Extract do for combination skin?

Cucumber extract helps keep combination skin hydrated and refreshed while improving overall softness and smoothness. It may also soothe the skin and help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. To truly benefit combination skin, a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and soothing plant extracts that balance moisture without feeling heavy.
