Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your normal skin, this mask leverages Artemisia Princeps Leaf Powder and Centella Asiatica Extract for their anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing benefits, addressing your pigmentation concerns with Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract for skin brightening.
- The formula provides excellent nourishing effects through high concentrations of Artemisia Princeps Leaf Powder and Cordyceps Sinensis Extract, which offer soothing and revitalizing properties.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing agents like Artemisia Princeps Leaf Powder and Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract.
How to apply
- Use your creamy mask PM routine once a week to start, then increase frequency if your normal skin feels good. Always remember to wear SPF during the day to protect your skin.
- Apply the creamy mask after cleansing and toning, and before your usual moisturizer. This helps lock in all the good ingredients for your skin.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask over your face while avoiding the eye area. Do not rub it in harshly.
- Apply the creamy mask on dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and can handle active ingredients well. Let it sit for the recommended time before rinsing or patting in.
- Always do a patch test before your first use to check for any allergic reactions. Avoid mixing this mask with strong acids in the exact same routine.
