Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for redness and irritation due to salicylic acid and peppermint oil, which may exacerbate sensitivity for your normal skin type.
- Kaolin and bentonite provide moderate cleansing by absorbing excess oil and impurities, but the formula may not offer enough emollient or humectant benefits for optimal results.
How to apply
- Use this cleansing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine, starting slowly to see how your skin reacts.
- Apply this product after cleansing and enzyme powder, and before your hydrating toner and moisturizer.
- Smooth an even layer of the cleansing mask over your face, making sure to gently avoid rubbing.
- Put the mask on clean and dry skin to keep your sensitive face calm and comfortable.
- Do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the mask too close to your eyes.

Why other cleansing masks fit sensitive skin better
- Peppermint oil in this cleansing mask
Topical menthol induced significant pain, cold sensations, punctate and cold hyperalgesia, and increased cutaneous perfusion in 10 subjects compared to ethanol control, acting as a human model for cold pain by sensitizing peripheral cold C nociceptors and activating cold-specific A delta fibres.
