How to Decide What Lotion to Use and When

 
All these types of skin care body lotion come in a variety of scents, healing abilities, and features. Also, it uses different essential oils to be more effective. It is quite easy to determine which type of lotion to buy but nonetheless, here are good tips to guide you:

Get a sunscreen lotion if you intend to stay under the sun for long

Sunscreen lotions are popularly used in beaches and uncovered pools. But it should also be used for other outdoor activities that require you to be under the sun for hours. Such activities include hiking, mountain climbing, and day camping. If you want to watch sports and games held in an open arena, better get a bottle as well.

Get lotions with AHA or alpha hydroxyl acids if your skin needs firming

AHA is a very popular lotion ingredient. It is an acid found in red wine, sour milk, and certain fruits. It is also effective in smoothing skin that is damaged by the sun's harmful rays. Get it if you think your skin has lost its innate radiance.

Get scented lotions for a romantic effect

Your skin needs fragrance too. And to ensure that your body scent does not rely on your perfume alone, apply lotion that matches your favorite fragrance for that date tonight. Also, try to use a matching lotion lip balm with your lipstick. You don't want your skin to dry out and ruin your perfect night, would you? 

Get all-natural high moisturizing lotion for your everyday use

Just like perfumes, you have ones you use everyday and ones you use only for special occasions. It goes true for lotions as well. An all-effective lotion with a mild scent is perfect for an after bath lotion. And most of the time, these come cheaper than those colored and fragrant ones. Organic skin care products fall under this category.

Get a night lotion with a relaxing effect

Most moisturizes works well at night. This is because when you sleep the body is in total relaxation. During which time, the process of moisturizing works to its maximum. So to ensure yourself of a good night sleep and a beauty rest every time, get yourself a bottle of relaxing lotion with a mild scent of essential oils like chamomile, jasmine, and lavender.

Buying and using just any lotion is not exactly right. Always get a bath lotion for dry skin or a body lotion for oily skin, if your skin is like that. Milk bath skin lotion, on the other hand, is what you should use if you want to maintain your skin's youthful glow. The proper care of your skin starts with the type of lotion you choose!
