Lovi Assistant explains
- High suitability for your normal skin is offered by the blend of nourishing seed oils like Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil and Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil, which provide excellent makeup removal and hydration. Rosehip oil and lavender herb oil offer additional benefits for fine lines and soothing effects, complementing your skin's needs. The product is safe for your normal skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of calming components like rosehip oil and lavender herb oil.
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.
