How do lotions benefit your skin?
Lotions are essential for maintaining healthy, happy skin. By infusing your routine with this product, you can easily take advantage of benefits including:
- Hydration: Replenish moisture lost throughout the day, preventing dryness and flakiness.
- Protection: Create a barrier against environmental aggressors like pollution and harsh weather.
- Nourishment: Deliver essential vitamins, antioxidants, and emollients to improve skin health and texture.
- Soothing: Calm irritated skin and reduce redness or discomfort.
- Improved appearance: Promote a smoother, softer, and more radiant complexion.
- Anti-ageing: Many lotions contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid or retinol to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How often should I apply lotion, and when is the best time?
The ideal frequency for applying lotion depends on your skin type, climate, and lifestyle. Generally, most people benefit from applying lotion at least once a day, ideally after showering or bathing when skin is still damp, as this helps lock in moisture. You can also apply it twice daily, especially when you have very dry skin or are living in arid climates. Moreover, you can opt to apply a nourishing lotion before sleeping to help aid in skin repair and hydration overnight. Lastly, don’t forget to regularly apply lotion after washing your hands, as it can strip natural oils and make your hands feel extra rough.
Is there a difference between "lotion," "cream," and "ointment"?
Yes, the main difference lies in their oil-to-water ratio and consistency:
- Lotion: Has the highest water content, making it the lightest and least greasy. It's easily absorbed and ideal for daily use, especially on the body.
- Cream: Thicker than lotion with a higher oil content. Creams provide more intense hydration and are often preferred for normal to dry skin types, especially for facial use.
- Ointment: Contains the highest oil content and very little water, making it the thickest and most occlusive. Ointments are excellent for very dry, cracked, or irritated skin, creating a strong protective barrier.
