One of the key elements that impact the health and appearance of your skin is moisture. If ignored, skin moisture levels can fall below the required levels. If you’re like most people, you probably don’t take the time to properly moisturise your skin. The reason is some believe it will leave their skin feeling oily or sticky.

With many moisturisers in the market, you can add appropriate nourishment to the skin, but make sure to buy from a good brand that suits your skin. Both body lotions and creams contribute to replenishing the skin's natural oil and preventing moisture loss. Let's take a look at the differences between body lotion and body cream and which one is better for you:- 

The body lotion is the ideal moisturiser for daily use because it contains less amount of oil than other moisturisers. Your skin will receive exactly the right amount of hydration to stay soft and smooth, without feeling greasy or heavy. They can nourish and maintain the health of your skin. Body lotions are best suited for those with oily skin because they are generally produced from a non-greasy substance.

Creams for the body are medium in consistency. Body lotion's richer and heavier counterpart is body cream. These moisturisers are gentle. They are nourishing and rich since they include a variety of essential oils. They are also popular for their pleasant scent. Body creams are ideal for those with normal skin, which is neither too dry nor too greasy.

Think about your skin's demands for the day and your general skin type while choosing between a body lotion and body cream. It depends on what your skin needs, either generally or on that particular day. Creams can help in giving more hydration and moisturisation. And lotions work best on the face for all skin types, especially in summers. And if you are ever in doubt about a formula, do a patch test before using it.
