Lovi Assistant explains
- This product offers high suitability for your combination skin, with Glycerin and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract providing humectant action and Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil offering emollient benefits to nourish and hydrate. Calendula Officinalis Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract work synergistically to calm irritation and provide excellent soothing relief, though they do not specifically target oily shine.
- The formula is highly compatible with combination skin due to its balanced hydration and emollient properties, with ingredients like Panthenol and Allantoin further supporting skin comfort.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing agents like Calendula Officinalis Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract.
How to apply
- You can use this sheet mask PM or AM to control oily shine. Start 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
- Apply this sheet mask after cleansing and toning, and before putting on your moisturizer.
- Unfold the sheet mask and gently press it onto your face, smoothing it out without rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes before removing.
- Put the sheet mask on clean skin to help your face absorb the essence better. Pat any remaining liquid gently into your skin.
- Avoid getting the product too close to your eyes. Do a quick patch test before your very first use.
