What is the difference between cream and lotion? Use what suits you to protect your skin effectively

What is the difference between cream and lotion? This is a question that must be understood for many people who are preparing to use skin care products. The manufacturing processes of facial creams and lotions are completely different, resulting in different forms of lotions and facial creams. Did you know that facial creams and lotions are suitable for different skin types? Come to Enju and judge whether facial cream or lotion is better based on your own skin type and the environment you often live in.

Difference between cream and lotion

Different 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.

Suitable for different skin types

Among healthy skin and sensitive skin, people with dry skin are of course recommended to use facial cream in the dry season. The moisturizing effect will be better than lotion and the lasting effect will be better than lotion.

In summer, people with dry skin can choose thinner lotions to hydrate their skin without any burden. Oily skin can be treated with a lotion with better moisturizing effect in dry environments and in autumn and winter. In summer, it is also necessary to use a toner and lotion that can control oil secretion (such as Kiehl's Calendula Water).
