Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your dry skin is provided by jojoba seed oil and glycerin, which offer superior emollient and humectant actions to deeply hydrate and moisturize flaky skin. Sodium hyaluronate further enhances this effect by drawing moisture to the skin's surface, ensuring lasting hydration.
  • The inclusion of Chamomilla Recutita Flower Water and extract provides significant soothing benefits, calming any irritation and reinforcing the skin's moisture barrier.
  • This formula is safe for your dry skin, featuring a gentle composition with no harsh ingredients and a blend of soothing agents that minimize the risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your soothing toner 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your soothing toner after cleansing, and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin with your hands. Let it absorb for a minute before adding your next product.
  • Apply the soothing toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better. This works great for dry or flaky skin to lock in extra moisture.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area when applying the soothing toner. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.
