Are body lotions divided into men's and women's? Body lotions are unisex

In autumn and winter, when the weather is dry and cold, one of the hottest products is various types of body lotions. Body lotion is a must in every girl’s skin care products, and even some boys have joined the body care team. So, are body lotions divided into men's and women's?

Are body lotions different for men and women?

No difference.

Body lotion is unisex. The use of body lotion is not gender-specific, you can choose according to your personal skin type. Both women and men can use it, just avoid the smells you don't like. Don’t think that body lotion is exclusive to women, men can also apply it. What's the big deal about applying body lotion? Who says men can’t live a refined life? Men can still use women’s “patents” such as skin care and makeup. Moreover, human skin is already very dry in autumn and winter. Applying body lotion can help the skin lock in moisture and keep it moisturized for a long time. It’s good for the skin, so why not do it?

Are there differences in skin care products for men and women?

We usually choose skin care products for ourselves based on our skin type, and the same goes for boys. Regardless of gender, it all comes down to whether the skin care products are suitable for your skin type.

From the perspective of physiological characteristics, there are two major differences between male and female skin:

1. Men have a high secretion of oil on their skin

Generally speaking, men secrete much more oil than women, and data shows that 80% of men have oily skin. Therefore, if boys do not pay attention to cleanliness, it is easy for their pores to be clogged, and they will develop acne and pimples.

2. Men’s skin is thicker than women’s

Most men have a thicker stratum corneum and a rougher skin texture. Therefore, it is not so easy for the skin barrier to be damaged and sensitive red blood streaks to appear, and relatively speaking, products with stronger cleansing power can be used.

Different skin types directly lead to different focuses of brands on men's skin care products.

For example, since most men's skin secretes more oil and their stratum corneum is larger than that of women's skin, the cleaning power of cleansing products can be stronger, the amount of oil ingredients added in skin care products is small, and more oil-control ingredients will be added.

Don’t worry, cosmetic ingredients are the same for both genders. The ingredients that can moisturize, whiten and remove spots can also work on boys' faces.

Moreover, the skin of both men and women needs hydration, moisturizing, anti-oxidation, and sun protection, and will age with age, and also requires anti-aging care. In these respects, the ingredients used in women's skin care products are also suitable for men's skin care products.

Not to mention cosmetics, because they basically don't have many or even no functional ingredients, and their main function is to make us look beautiful. Girls have the right to become beautiful through makeup, and boys have the right to do the same!

In general, men's skin care products are designed with a focus on the characteristics of men's oily skin and thick stratum corneum. But no matter whose skin it is, it still needs basic care such as cleansing, hydration, moisturizing, anti-oxidation, sun protection, and anti-aging. While ensuring efficacy, it is recommended to choose a more gentle formula.

What are the benefits of applying body lotion

1. Hydrate and moisturize

Applying body lotion after taking a shower can quickly replenish moisture to the skin and provide nourishment and nutrition.

2. Whiten your skin

Some body lotions also contain whitening ingredients such as vitamin C. After long-term use, they can improve skin complexion and make the skin whiter and brighter.

3. Tighten the skin

The body lotion contains essential oil ingredients and collagen ingredients. Long-term use can moisturize and tighten the skin, making it younger, smoother and more elastic.

4. Relieve stress

When using body lotion, you should combine it with proper massage to allow the skin to absorb it better. Moreover, many body lotions have fragrant scents that can help relax muscles throughout the body, regulate mood, relieve stress, and relieve a day's fatigue.

5. Soften cuticles

In autumn and winter, people take fewer baths, and the skin's stratum corneum thickens, resulting in dryness and dehydration. In severe cases, the skin may even peel. At this time, applying body lotion can effectively soften the skin's stratum corneum and replenish moisture to the skin.

6. Remove chicken skin

In autumn and winter, many people will grow small raised spots on their legs, which is what people often call chicken skin. The main reason for the growth of chicken skin is that the stratum corneum is too thick and the skin is not moisturized enough, and body lotion can effectively soften the cuticle and moisturize the skin, so it also has a good effect on removing chicken skin, but the premise is that you need to persist in applying it for a long time.
