Is it okay to use a hand and body lotion on my face?
Calming Lavender Hand & Body Lotion is made from 100% natural ingredients and essential oils. Because of this, they are safe to use on the face. However, we still highly recommend using facial moisturizers and creams that are specifically formulated to use on the face. This lavender lotion is crafted with pure essential oils and might cause skin irritation if you have sensitive skin.
Facial creams are thicker and usually come with hyaluronic acid to fight the signs of aging. While this lavender lotion is thinner and effective in firming and deep moisturizing the skin. You can swap the two products but you need to consider your pores. Body lotions can clog your pores and cause inflammation and acne.
How often should you apply hand and body lotion?
Regularly, especially for your hands. Your hands are always exposed. You use it when you are washing the dishes, doing laundry, cooking, and doing other tasks. It is prone to drying and cracking. Use Calming Lavender Hand & Body Lotion whenever you feel like your hands are dry and need moisturizing.
After taking your shower or bath, massage this lavender lotion on your skin, from your arms to legs, and hands. This lavender hand and body lotion are made with avocado, organic argan, and olive oil which moisturizes the skin. It also contains pure lavender essential oils which help relax the body and mind. This lavender lotion is best used before going to bed.
What is the difference between face cream and body cream?
One of the differences between face creams from body lotion is their viscosity. Facial creams contain more oils than water making the formulation thicker compared to lavender lotion meaning, the viscosity is high. They contain more active ingredients to brighten, hydrate, and fight the signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots. Also, they do not clog the pores. We do not recommend using hand and body lotion on your face.
On the other hand, hand and body lotions contain more purified water. Due to this, it has low viscosity meaning its consistency is thinner. This lavender hand and body lotion is specially formulated to deeply moisturize the skin and make it firmer and healthier. But it can clog the pores if you apply it to your face.
Why is my skin so dry even though I put lotion on every day?
The surface of the skin contains natural oils which are produced naturally by your skin. This natural oil helps protect your skin from drying. Overwashing or exposure to water can rip off all these natural oils causing the dryness of your skin. If your skin feels tight, itchy, and irritated after washing or taking a bath or shower, this can be a sign of overwashing.
Overwashing commonly happens in the hands. Washing your hands is hygienic but it can dry your skin. To avoid dryness, use natural hand soap without any dyes. Then, apply this lavender lotion after washing your hands. Avoid rubbing your hands, pat dry your hands instead. This causes less friction which can lead to drying.
Which one is better - body lotion or body oil?
Both body oils and lotions are both formulated to moisturize the skin. Oils reintroduce the lost moisture in the skin while body lotions are part water and formulated to target specific skin conditions. Body oils help improve the skin barrier and are usually made from purer materials compared to lotions. Lotions are made using a combination of oils, water, and other ingredients such as essential oils. In some cases, body lotions contain additives. However, in the Calming Lavender Hand & Body Lotion that is not a problem. This lavender lotion doesn't contain any additives and is made from 100% natural ingredients. The effects and benefits of this lavender lotion can be seen and felt for a long time when used regularly.
