The difference between moisturizer and lotion

Moisturizer and lotion look similar, but they are actually different in terms of ingredients and functions. Moisturizer is a type of liquid cream that has a good moisturizing effect and can retain moisture in the skin. It has a high water content. Moisturizer also has a certain amount of moisture, but it is not as moisturizing as lotion.

Moisturizing lotion is a liquid cream-like cosmetic that has good moisturizing and moisturizing effects. Early moisturizing lotions were water-in-oil emulsions, and potassium soap was often used as an emulsifier. However, it would thicken during storage and was not easy to pour from the bottle. Using dodecyl sulfuric acid, diethanolamine salts or non-ionic emulsifiers can produce moisturizing lotions with good stability. Moisturizing lotion cosmetics, also known as honey cosmetics, are water-in-oil emulsifiers.[3]

The water content is around 10.1% to 80.2%, it has a certain fluidity, and its shape is quite similar to honey, hence the name. Moisturizer has a high water content and can replenish moisture to the skin. The lotion also contains a small amount of oil, which can moisturize the skin. Emulsion has three functions: removing dirt, replenishing moisture and supplementing nutrition. Decontamination means that lotion can replace cleansers to remove facial dirt. Replenish moisture. Since the lotion contains about 10% to 80% water, it can directly replenish moisture to the skin and keep the skin moist. Replenish nutrition. Since the moisturizer contains a small amount of oil, when the skin on the face feels tight, the oil in the lotion can moisturize the skin and make it soft.

Moisturizer Introduction

Rich in urea and glycerin, it can absorb several times more water in the air than its own, forming a skin protective film to effectively prevent moisture loss. The long-lasting moisturizing oil-in-water formula is delicate and moisturizing, skin-friendly, and easier to be absorbed, keeping the skin moisturized and shiny at all times. Suitable for all skin types, especially for dry skin and prone to dryness, the effect is better.

The more moisturizer you apply, the better.

If you apply too much, your face will feel like it has an oil slick on it, which may clog your pores and cause acne and puffy eyes. Because the skin's absorption capacity is limited, it is generally better to apply less.

Oily skin does not need to use moisturizer.

The cheeks of oily skin are obviously prone to dryness, which is more obvious in air-conditioned rooms, so they need to be slightly moisturized with moisturizer, but not too much.

Many moisturizers are non-greasy and are especially suitable for oily skin.

I thought I didn’t need body lotion in summer.

Since we bathe more frequently in the summer, most people use shower gels with stronger oil-control and cleansing abilities. Products with strong cleansing power must have relatively weak hydrating effect. In addition, when bathing, the shower gel stays on the skin for a relatively short time. Even if the shower gel has moisturizing and hydrating effects, the effect will be significantly weakened in the sweaty summer. It can be said that the hydrating function is almost zero.
