In the conditions of modern urban life, it is difficult to imagine the condition of the skin without daily moisturizing.

How lotion differs from other body products
A great variety of moisturizing body products are on sale. These are traditional creams, lotions and gels, as well as innovative butters and emulsions. There is milk and cream, and balms, and body oils - and all these products have their own characteristics and different textures. What is the difference between a lotion?
Moisturizing lotion for the body is a fairly liquid care product. It is less dense than, say, the usual cream, and when squeezing it does not keep its shape, but spreads. It is due to such a light texture that he is loved by many, especially in the summer. Most moisturizing products are very light, they are well absorbed into the skin without leaving a film, oily sheen or streaks.
Application features
To provide the lotion with maximum effect on the skin, prepare it for hydration. Apply immediately after showering. It is important to remove the remaining moisture well first, but do not wait long - as long as the pores are open, the care product will penetrate faster.
Be sure to use peeling or exfoliant at least once a week to remove dead epidermal cells. Without this step, moisturizing body lotion will not function properly. Peeling is especially important if you have dry, flaky skin.
Apply a sufficient amount of the product to the entire surface of the body and be sure to wait until it is absorbed. Do not start to dress immediately after application, even express means take a couple of minutes.
