Our skin is the largest organ of our body, and we cannot stress enough how important it is to keep it well hydrated and moisturized. Well-moisturized skin is a sign of a healthy looking skin. Moisturizers replenish the body and promote a healthy skin barrier as our skin goes through dirt, pollution, etc. on a daily basis.
However, with so many moisturizers to choose from, it can get difficult to know what’s best for your skin. Here is a detailed guide on body butter vs lotion so that you can make the right choice.
Before deciding on whether to opt for a body lotion or body butter, it’s essential to determine your skin type. Basically, there are three kinds of skin types:
After cleansing your skin, if you feel like it is tight, flaky, and dry almost everywhere, then you have a dry skin type. Dry skin type lacks moisture and water and is in constant need of hydration.
If your skin feels greasy and oily most of the time, even after cleansing, then you have an oily skin type. Oily skin type produces excess oil/sebum and although it might seem like there’s no need to moisturize, it is important, so a balance is maintained.
If your skin doesn’t react well with most products and you often experience redness/irritation, you have a sensitive skin type.
Now that you are aware of your skin type, let’s quickly get to the difference between body lotion and body butter.
Body lotions are meant to provide hydration to your skin. The texture is lightweight and more liquid in consistency due to their high water content, so they are great for everyday use in summers. When you apply a body lotion, you will notice how thin the consistency is and how easy they are to blend in, like nothing on the skin.
It is best to apply body lotions right after you shower, on damp skin. You can use a body lotion any or several times in a day, owing to its lightweight texture.
Although body lotions are great for all skin types, they are best suitable for people with oily and sensitive skin. They are ideal for hot and humid weather.
When choosing skin care products, it all comes down to choosing the best ingredients according to your skin type. Here are a few great body lotion options:
Green Tea Body Gel Lotion is a non-greasy, lightweight, yet hydrating formula that is meant for oily or even sensitive skin types. It has shea butter, argan oil, and green tea to soothe and moisturize your skin.
Choco Body Lotion is perfect for people with dry skin as it intensely moisturizes the skin leaving it soft and supple.
Coffee Body Lotion is a light moisturizer, great for normal/combination skin. The non-sticky feeling and sweet aroma of coffee will leave you smelling heavenly all day long.
