Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate soothing and calming for your oily skin due to the presence of Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Oil Leaf and Witch Hazel Extract, which help with seboregulation and inflammation.
- While Glycerin and Portulaca Oleracea Extract provide general hydration and soothing benefits, they do not directly address your primary concern of oily shine.
- The product is safe for your oily skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and includes Witch Hazel Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract to minimize irritation.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
- Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer.
- Place the sheet mask smoothly over your face and gently press it down without rubbing.
- Put the mask on clean and slightly dry skin for the best results and comfort.
- Avoid the eye area and do a simple patch test before using it for the first time.
