Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin, this product offers excellent hydration due to high concentrations of glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and panthenol, which act as effective humectants.
  • Niacinamide is included to provide moderate benefits for your pigmentation concerns, supporting skin brightening.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Centella Asiatica Extract and Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using the sheet mask 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply the sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Place the sheet mask smoothly over your face and gently press it to help the ingredients soak in.
  • For the best results, put the sheet mask on clean and slightly damp skin.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.
