Lovi Assistant explains
- Suitable for normal skin as Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Glycerin provide emollient and humectant actions, respectively, though it lacks targeted ingredients for your wrinkles and fine lines.
- The formula effectively removes makeup and impurities, offering general hydration and soothing benefits that support overall skin health.
- The safety profile is excellent for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Glycerin.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover as part of your PM routine every evening. Start 3x/week and move to daily use as your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It acts as the very first step to melt away makeup.
- Gently massage a small amount of the makeup remover over dry skin to dissolve makeup, then rinse with warm water. Avoid any harsh rubbing around your eyes.
- Apply this makeup remover directly onto dry skin to effectively break down stubborn makeup and impurities. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
- Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid direct contact with your eyes while cleansing.
