The Trend:
It’s likely you have at one or two different types of lotion or moisturizer in your cosmetics range , the same products you’ve been using since college. How much do you know about the product you use, have you explored any other alternatives? What’s the difference between lotion and moisturizer anyway, and which topical is right for you? In our tireless quest to improve skin health and wellness, we have been exploring both topicals to help you find the product that’s best for you.
A lotion is usually in the form of a low-viscosity, oil and water emulsion that’s applied to the skin as a topical for a variety of benefits including healing dry skin and as a preventive measure and treatment for blemishes. Lotions have minerals and vitamins designed to smoothen and soften the skin, provide UV protection (sunscreen), and even promote tanning. moisturizer is a similar emulsion of oils, lubricants, skin lipids and sterols used to hydrate the skin. Moisturizers range from low to high viscosity depending on the type of skin they are manufactured for and prevent/treat dry skin, improve skin tone and are also designed to cover up blemishes.
There are many different types of lotions and moisturizers and not all are created equal. Many of the traditional and less expensive products are chemical based. They contain synthetic oils and other chemicals that are unnatural and may exacerbate skin dryness and other conditions instead of helping to improve these blemishes. Those prone to rashes and allergic reactions to certain types of chemicals found in common lotions and moisturizers are in luck as there are now 100% organic body lotions that contain all natural ingredients. As we become more health conscious as a society and people begin to take health matters into their own hands, the demand for all natural, organic lotions and moisturizers has increased and the skin care industry has paid heed to this trend by manufacturing newer, more natural products.
