Lovi Assistant explains
- Suitable for normal skin due to Glycerin and Jojoba Seed Oil providing humectant and emollient actions, this cleanser offers moderate pore decongestion with decyl glucoside and sea silt.
- While it provides general skincare benefits, it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively address your concerns of redness and irritation.
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.
