Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent protection against UV rays and absorbs excess oil, making it highly suitable for your combination skin and oily shine concerns due to ingredients like zinc oxide and talc.
  • The formula also provides effective humectant action with glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, ensuring your skin remains hydrated without feeling greasy.
  • The product is safe for your skin, featuring soothing ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and tocopherol with no harsh or prohibited substances.

How to apply

  • Apply this sunscreen during your AM routine every single day. Make sure to reapply ⏱ every two hours if you stay outside.
  • Apply this sunscreen as the very last step of your morning routine after your moisturizer. Allow your moisturizer to ⏳ sink in for a minute first.
  • Smooth an even layer over your face and gently pat it into the skin without harsh rubbing. Be sure to cover all exposed areas thoroughly.
  • For the best finish on your combination skin, apply the sunscreen on completely dry skin over your moisturizer. This helps control any oily shine throughout the day.
  • Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes. Do a small patch test before your first full application.
