How to use body lotion and when to apply it for best effect

As a skin care product that can be applied to the entire body, body lotion's moisturizing texture can effectively improve dryness and peeling problems on the body. So, how to use body lotion specifically?

How to use body lotion

Take a hot bath to open the pores all over the body to facilitate the absorption of subsequent body lotion. Apply body lotion all over the body within three to five minutes after bathing. In autumn and winter, you can repeatedly apply body lotion and massage on the calves, joints and other easily dry areas to effectively moisturize dry cells and protect skin smoothness. Wearing pure cotton, breathable pajamas after applying body lotion can extend the fragrance of the body lotion.

Precautions for using body lotion

1. Don’t take a shower or apply body lotion

The body can only be applied right after taking a shower. If you usually feel your body is very dry, and you apply body lotion without taking a shower, the skin will not be able to absorb it and it will float on the surface of the body, causing a sticky feeling.

2. 5 minutes after taking a bath is the best time

The best time to apply body lotion is within 5 minutes after taking a shower. The body that has just been washed and dried is still very hydrated, and body lotion cannot easily penetrate into the inner layer of the skin. If the time is too long, the skin will become a little dry, and 5 minutes is the best time to absorb body lotion.

3. Choose a highly moisturizing body lotion in winter

Winter is the peak season for using body lotion. The body lotion in this season should be a cream with strong moisturizing effect. It is necessary to protect the skin thickly and prevent dandruff.
