Just Right Lotions For Your Skin

By Haywood Hunter


How dry or absorbent the skin is can be regulated by the type of lotions that are applied to the surface layer. Picking balms that are suited for a particular body type should be and should remain a focal point for best results. So, of course, with all of the products on the market today whenever one is shopping for skin care some items will take require quite a bit of attention and maybe even a little research.

First of all, some basic knowledge of the nature of one's skin is needed. Just knowing if one has oily, dry or normal skin can make a huge difference in the figuring out how certain lotions will interact with the body. Getting familiar with your skin type can be easily done at most any cosmetic counter. Keep in mind that different parts of the body will vary in type.

Shopping for fame is not a good idea. In other words, it may not be the best idea to always go for the most popular products in the store just because other people seem to be. Each person's epidermis is unique. Do a little background checking on new items. Check out blogs or even online reviews for more information and to see what other consumers have experienced with newer products.

Also, face lotions will weigh lighter than body lotions. Facial unguents will usually absorb into the epidermal layer quickly and require a minimal amount of application. Trying to keep the entire body in tone with these types of balms will usually mean making several applications which will eat up the product and not satisfy the needs of the arms and legs.

Conversely serums formulated for resilient foot epidermis would not be a good facial choice. Unguents for a person's feet are generally prepared for the purpose of tough exfoliation and protection. These lotions may have strong additives in them such as peppermint and eucalyptus both of which can be excellent for the toes but may act as an irritant for the sensitive facial surface.

Other types of lotions are for specific protection against external harm to the body. Sunscreen lotions can be used by most anyone and are created with many different skin needs in mind. They create a protective bond against the strong ultraviolet rays of sun. With levels from low to very high SPF or sun protection factor these healers do a lot a good to guard against permanent skin damage.

On the other hand suntan lotions are distinctly different. Suntan lotions are selected when a person wants to accelerate the effects that the sun can have on one's body. Many of these balms may also contain ingredients that can ward off sun damage, but that is not their main draw. These products work to increase the darkening effects of the sun.

Choosing lotions that are right for one gets easier the more one pays attention to labels. Becoming a careful shopper for quality items can alleviate many allergic reactions and side effects. Asking around and checking different opinions on the internet will also open one up to many useful lotions.
