When purchasing cosmetics, it is important to rely on both the condition of the skin and the functions of the product itself .
Skin type
Classic moisturizing lotions are generally suitable for all skin types: dry, oily, and combination. It is more difficult with skin that has certain types of problems.
Thus, it is advisable for those with dermatitis and other dermatological diseases to carefully monitor the composition. It is better to choose a product that is hypoallergenic, restorative and fragrance-free, so as not to provoke a negative reaction from the body.
Lotion function
Of course, the choice of product depends on what you expect from it. Some products combine several functions, for example, moisturizing lotions can be both anti-aging and restorative.
Compound
Carefully study the composition for substances that should not be used before going out into the sun (that is, it is better to apply them in cold weather or cover the skin with clothing). Vitamin C, retinol, AHA acids – that’s what we’re talking about.
Season
It is believed that nourishing lotions are more suitable for cold months, and moisturizing lotions with sun protection for warm months.
Review from a cosmetologist on how best to use body lotion
Dermatologist and cosmetologist at Real Clinic Albina Bukhurova explains how to properly use this popular remedy. “The lotion should be applied to damp body skin, spreading with massage movements until completely absorbed,” she says.
If there is any excess product left on the body, it can be gently rubbed or collected with a paper towel. According to her, this simple method of application is suitable for all products, even self-tanning. “Each product comes with instructions, so don’t be lazy to read them after purchase,” the expert adds.
