Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate exfoliation for your dry or flaky skin due to the presence of kaolin and bentonite, which provide cleansing benefits but may exacerbate dryness.
  • The inclusion of alcohol, which can be drying, and a lack of deeply hydrating ingredients make this product moderately unsuitable for your dry skin type.

How to apply

  • Use your cleansing mask PM once a week as part of your weekly routine, and increase to twice a week if your dry skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply the cleansing mask after cleansing and enzyme powder, but before your hydrating toner, serum, and moisturizer.
  • Smooth an even layer of the cleansing mask over your face while gently avoiding any unnecessary rubbing.
  • Apply the cleansing mask to clean and dry skin to ensure better comfort for your sensitive skin type.
  • Always avoid the eye area and do a patch test before using the cleansing mask for the first time.
