Moisturizing Cream
If there is still no body cream in your bathroom, we recommend fixing this error. The skin needs daily moisturizing and probably hints at it with dryness, and even peeling. Just take a look and draw conclusions.
Why do I need a body cream
Body creams are a category of skin care products for the body, legs (except for feet) and hands (excluding hands). However, in addition to the creams proper, this segment includes milk, lotion, gel, balm, and spray. Let's talk about them in more detail and tell you how they differ from each other.
Moisturizing is one of the functions of all the listed products. In general, basic body care is aimed at maintaining and restoring the barrier functions of the skin. Therefore, in addition to hydrofixes, they include nutrients that provide the skin with lipids and prevent moisture from evaporating.
These substances include:
oils;
vitamin E;
lipid complexes;
squalane and squalene (yes, this is not exactly the same thing).
In some formulas, antioxidants and plant extracts may be present.
How to choose a body moisturizer
There are at least two choice parameters: skin type and season of use.
Skin type
Dry.
It is useful balm - thick and dense, with a high concentration of oils, for example, shea, jojoba, argan. The main goal is to restore the lipid barrier, which retains moisture in the skin and protects it from microdamages. Another suitable format is Butter. It is less dense than a balm, but still the texture is quite rich.
Normal.
To prevent your skin from experiencing dryness, do not ignore the care. Choose a tool for the season.
Oily.
Such skin may be prone to rashes in the back and shoulders, so choose light textures and non-comedogenic formulas without mineral oils.
Season
Winter and autumn
The skin reacts negatively to a sharp drop in temperature (from cold outside to heat in the room and vice versa), so it’s worth taking care of an adequate remedy. Balsams enriched with oils, butters and dense creams are what you need.
Summer and spring
Prefer weightless textures. Gel, lotion, milk refresh the skin, and sometimes have a cooling effect. The oil content in them is minimal, so they do not form a dense lipid film.
Year round
Universal product - milk with a light consistency, hydrating and nourishing properties. It is quickly distributed, instantly absorbed, leaving no feeling of fat and stickiness.
Rules for the use of body cream
1. After bath or shower, apply body products to damp skin to “seal” the water in the epidermis.2. Pre-lightly pat the skin of the body with a towel.
3. Apply the cream in circular massaging movements from top to bottom - from the ankles to the knees, hips, abdomen and beyond.
