The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Canada.

Brand: [Lush](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/brands/lush)
Category: [Face masks](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/best/face-masks)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for sensitive skin; the cleansing masks alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate cleansing for your normal skin, as kaolin and bentone gel hectorite gel absorb excess oil and impurities, while glycerin provides humectant action.
- The presence of peppermint oil and limonene may pose risks of worsening your skin sensitivity and redness.

## What the research says

([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Topical menthol induced significant pain, cold sensations, punctate and cold hyperalgesia, and increased cutaneous perfusion in 10 subjects compared to ethanol control, acting as a human model for cold pain by sensitizing peripheral cold C nociceptors and activating cold-specific A delta fibres. ([Brain, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14985268/))
- Patch testing 4731 consecutive patients in 13 U.K. dermatology departments revealed positive reactions to hydroperoxides of limonene in 5.0% and linalool in 5.9% of patients compared to 0.2% for stabilized terpenes alone. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24702129/))
- Topical application of menthol-based cooling gel decreased intramuscular temperature by 1.9 °C and increased cutaneous blood flow by 0.3 ml/min in healthy males compared to placebo gel. ([International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30038834/))

([Skin Research and Technology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38591218/))
- Twice-weekly use of a clay mask over 4 weeks in 75 adults with oily or combination skin improved acne-related outcomes, sebum content, skin evenness, hydration, and reduced dryness and irritation. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/))
