Lovi Assistant explains
- Excellent for your combination skin, the high concentrations of Artemisia Princeps Leaf Powder and Cordyceps Sinensis Extract provide superior soothing and revitalizing effects, directly addressing your oily shine concerns.
- The inclusion of Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract further enhances antioxidant protection, complementing the anti-inflammatory benefits for your skin type.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, containing no harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your creamy mask 3x a week and work up to daily use if your skin tolerates it.
- Apply your creamy mask after cleansing and toning, but before your moisturizer to lock in benefits. This step fits nicely right in the middle of your daily routine.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask gently over your face, avoiding any unnecessary heavy rubbing. Let it sit for a few minutes ⏱ so your skin can drink it in.
- Apply the creamy mask on clean and dry skin to help manage oily shine effectively. This ensures the product works best for your combination skin type.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a simple patch test before your very first use to make sure your skin is happy.
