Picking Lotions For Your Skin



By Haywood Hunter


How dry or absorbent the skin is can be regulated by the type of lotions that are applied to the surface layer. Picking balms that are suited for a particular body type should be and should remain a focal point for best results. So, of course, with all of the products on the market today whenever one is shopping for skin care some items will take require quite a bit of attention and maybe even a little research.

First of all, some basic knowledge of the nature of one's skin is needed. Just knowing if one has oily, dry or normal skin can make a huge difference in the figuring out how certain lotions will interact with the body. Getting familiar with your skin type can be easily done at most any cosmetic counter. Keep in mind that different parts of the body will vary in type.

Shopping in haste is not good and neither is buying something just because everyone else seems to be buying it. This type of shopping is known as the crowd factor and is not something that usually works well when searching out skins care aids. There are emollients for the young skin, aging skin and damaged skin. One size does not fit all.

Some balms are for particular body areas. For instance, facial lotions are usually much too delicate for overall body use. Facial balms texture is characteristically fast absorbing, not heavy enough for the rest of the body. It can be a waste of money to use these types of balms on the legs and arms because an excessive amount would need to be applied.

Foot lotions are another type of specialty product. They are generally very fragrant to control foot odor. Foot remedies tend to carry minty and harsher ingredients that are suitable for the tougher layers of that epidermis. They take quite a bit more rubbing to absorb because the massaging motion helps the serums to soften the feet. These solutions are not healthy for the facial surface.

Take into account the reason you are buying lotions. Everyday moisturizing is one reason to buy some potions but there are selections for many other uses. Sunscreens are a specialty purchase. These are manufactured with differing SPF or sun protection factor levels and should be chosen with serious deliberation. SPF levels can range anywhere from 1 to as high as 50. The fairer the skin, the higher the level of sunscreen range one should consider.

Suntan lotions are often mistaken for sunscreen lotions. However, the difference between these two demulcents is huge. They are opposite types of remedies as suntan emollients will help to increase the darkening effects of the sun. However, balms used for darkening the skin can also be purchased with high and low protection factors, if one shops carefully.

Choosing lotions that are right for one gets easier the more one pays attention to labels. Becoming a careful shopper for quality items can alleviate many allergic reactions and side effects. Asking around and checking different opinions on the internet will also open one up to many useful lotions.
