In spring, whether to use cream or lotion, lotion or cream, all depends on the skin type.

The question of whether to use cream or lotion in spring troubles many girls who love skin care. In fact, whether to use cream or lotion in spring mainly depends on your skin type. Different skin types have very different needs for lotions and creams.

Oily skin should use lotion instead of cream in spring

I just talked about the reason why oily skin is prone to oiliness in spring. It is best for oily skin to use lotion in spring. Because facial cream contains a certain amount of oil to have a moisturizing effect, and oily skin itself has a high oil secretion rate, it is not suitable to use facial cream, otherwise it will aggravate the oiliness of the face.

Dry skin needs not only lotion but also cream in spring

Dry skin is prone to dryness due to lack of moisture in the skin and the skin is in a dehydrated state for a long time. The molecules of lotion are small and easily evaporated in the air, so the moisture-locking ability of the cream is needed to ensure that the skin does not become dry.

Combination skin needs to pay attention to the amount of lotion and cream used

Combination skin usually has more oil in the T-zone and drier skin on both cheeks. Therefore, after using lotion, avoid applying the cream on the T-zone.

The correct way to use lotion

1. The order of application should be prioritized. When using lotion, you should follow the order of applying it to the driest area first. If you are not using eye cream, apply it around the eyes first, then to the cheeks, both sides of the corners of the mouth, upper and lower jaws, etc. After applying these areas, apply to the entire face. This way, the dry areas can get doubly moisturized. If you are already using eye cream, you can apply it directly around the eye area.
2. When applying the lotion, use the strength of your fingertips, not your palm or fingertips. Because the fingertips have moderate strength and are elastic, this makes the skin feel most comfortable.
3. When applying the lotion, gently massage from the center of the face outwards. It is best to apply it with massaging movements, which is more conducive to skin absorption. When massaging, gently massage from the center of the face outwards until the lotion is completely absorbed by the skin.
