Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate exfoliation with salicylic acid and lactic acid, which may be too harsh for your redness and irritation, potentially worsening your sensitive skin.
  • While suitable for normal skin due to the keratolytic action of these acids, the potential for increased redness and irritation is a key concern.

How to apply

  • Use this cleansing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine, starting slowly to see how your skin reacts.
  • Apply this product after cleansing and enzyme powder, and before your hydrating toner and moisturizer.
  • Smooth an even layer of the cleansing mask over your face, making sure to gently avoid rubbing.
  • Put the mask on clean and dry skin to keep your sensitive face calm and comfortable.
  • Do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the mask too close to your eyes.
