Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent hydration for your dry skin, as snail secretion filtrate and sodium hyaluronate intensely moisturize and repair the skin barrier. Panthenol further supports skin barrier function and soothes dryness, making it ideal for your flaky skin concerns.
  • The inclusion of dipotassium glycyrrhizate and allantoin provides additional calming benefits, enhancing the overall comfort for your dry skin.
  • This formula is safe for your skin, containing no harsh ingredients and featuring soothing components like snail secretion filtrate and allantoin.

How to apply

  • Use your sheet mask PM or AM whenever your skin feels dry. Start 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
  • Place the sheet mask on your face after cleansing and toner, and before moisturizer.
  • Unfold the sheet mask and smooth it gently over your face without rubbing. Relax for ten minutes and let the essence soak in.
  • Put the sheet mask on clean and slightly damp skin for the best hydration boost. Pat the remaining liquid softly into your skin.
  • Avoid getting the essence too close to your eyes. Do a quick patch test before your very first use.
