Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin, this mask leverages snail secretion filtrate and panthenol for humectant and barrier repair actions, effectively addressing your redness and irritation concerns with dipotassium glycyrrhizate and allantoin to soothe and calm.
  • The formulation provides excellent nourishing and plumping effects through snail secretion filtrate and sodium hyaluronate, enhancing overall skin hydration and comfort.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your sensitive skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start by using the sheet mask 3 times a week and increase if your skin feels good.
  • Apply the sheet mask right after cleansing and toning, but always before your daily moisturizer or SPF.
  • Unfold the sheet mask and gently press it onto your face, avoiding any harsh rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes.
  • For sensitive skin, apply the sheet mask on completely dry skin to ensure better comfort and tolerance.
  • Always avoid the delicate eye area and do a quick patch test before your very first use.
