What is body lotion?
Body lotion is a skincare product that can be used all over the body to moisturize the skin. It is typically a milky-white color and contains moisturizing ingredients such as water and oil. When applied to the skin, it forms a thin protective layer that helps prevent moisture loss, keeping the skin hydrated and moisturized.
How to apply body lotion?
- Before applying the lotion, it is recommended to avoid direct application onto the skin. Instead, warm the product in your hands until it reaches the temperature of your skin. This is because the warmth of your skin facilitates immediate efficacy of the product and aids in skin absorption.
- It is advisable to apply the lotion by massaging it horizontally along the texture of your skin. Finish by gently massage the skin to allow the lotion to penetrate into the deeper layers.
Point: Avoid rubbing vigorously while applying the lotion. Excessive friction can lead to skin dryness and, over time, may result in a dull complexion.
When is the best time to apply a body lotion?
The optimal time to apply body lotion is within 5 to 10 minutes after bathing.
During bathing, the steam promotes metabolism and opens the pores of the skin, allowing for the removal of dead skin cells and facilitating better absorption of the lotion into the skin.
Furthermore, it is highly recommended to keep the body lotion in the bathroom to ensure that you don't miss the ideal timing for absorption.
The amount of body lotion to be applied
If the skin is slightly damp after bathing, it is recommended to use an amount of approximately 2cm in diameter for each area. For example, from the ankle to the knee or from the knee to the thigh would be considered one area. This ensures an adequate amount of lotion is applied.
If applying to completely dry skin, in order to fully benefit from the effects of the body lotion, a larger amount is needed. We suggest using approximately 3cm in diameter for each area. For particularly dry areas, applying a generous layer of lotion can provide even better results.
The need for body lotion is not limited to just autumn and winter. During the hot summer days, the skin loses moisture through sweating, and frequent exposure to air-conditioned environments can also contribute to dryness. Therefore, it is important to keep the skin moisturized every day, even during the summer season.
