The difference between cream and lotion, let's find the difference

What is the difference between cream and lotion? Cream and lotion are also products that girls will definitely use when taking care of their skin, but is there any difference between the two? If so, what are the differences? Let's take a look~

The difference between cream and lotion: appearance

The ratio of oil and water in lotion and cream is different, which also leads to the difference in the external appearance of lotion and cream. The reason why the appearance of creams and lotions are different is that the production processes of creams and lotions are different. Nevertheless, creams and lotions are essentially the same. Compared with facial cream, lotion is thinner and in a semi-liquid state, but it also comes in two types: high-fat and low-fat. In addition to reading the product instructions, you can also test whether your skin is oily or not on the back of your hands.

The difference between cream and lotion: applicable season

The rich texture of the cream is suitable for use in autumn and winter, and the nourishment obtained by using the cream at night is the best. There are also particularly refreshing gel-like facial creams, such as Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. Suitable for oily skin and all healthy skin types. Lotions are usually lighter and have a more refreshing texture, making them suitable for spring and summer.

The difference between cream and lotion: moisturizing effect

The different moisturizing effects of creams and lotions mentioned here refer to the different strengths of their effects. Facial cream contains more oil, and its moisturizing effect is more lasting than that of lotion. Whether to use facial cream or lotion should be selected according to the season and skin type. If you have neutral, oily or combination skin (most people), lotion may be more suitable for you than cream. Your face will not feel particularly greasy after use and it is suitable for use in a non-dry environment. But if you have dry skin, facial cream is more moisturizing and lasts longer.
