Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for oily skin, as sunflower seed oil and glycerin provide emollient and humectant actions, but it lacks sufficient oil-controlling ingredients to directly address concerns about oily shine.
  • The formulation provides excellent moisturizing due to glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which hydrate and plump the skin, offering general skincare benefits.
  • There are no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing ingredients like Arnica Montana Extract and Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract.

How to apply

  • Use this creamy mask PM once a week to start, then increase frequency if your skin feels good.
  • Apply this creamy mask after cleansing and toner, but before your moisturizer.
  • Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask gently over your face, avoiding any harsh rubbing.
  • Put the creamy mask on clean and completely dry skin for the best results against oily shine.
  • Make sure to avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before using it the first time.

Questions and answers

How well does Tata Harper's Hydrating Floral Mask work for oily skin?

This mask works reasonably well for oily skin, as sodium hyaluronate and glycerin hydrate the skin while sunflower seed oil keeps the skin barrier healthy, though it lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine. It is unlikely to cause irritation because it contains soothing botanical extracts and no harsh ingredients. For oily skin of this type, a product needs added oil-controlling ingredients to properly address shine.
