Do you have to use cream for skin care?
Although cream is one of the basic skin care products, it is not necessary, at least not for everyone. The composition and texture of the cream itself determine that it is only suitable for some people. For example, face cream is generally rich in nutrition and contains a certain amount of oil to lock water, which is very suitable for small partners with dry skin, or used in dry and windy autumn and winter, which can effectively lock the skin barrier, ensure that the water of the skin will not lose too much, and will also play a role in moisturizing and delicate dry skin. However, at present, a relatively moist but oil-free cream has been developed, and such cream mixed skin and oily skin can also be selectively used. Moreover, the cream and emulsion in basic skin care products have some overlapping effects, so sometimes it is not suitable to use cream, but if you need to replenish water and lock water, you can also use emulsion instead, and the effect is the same. Therefore, you don't have to use cream for skin care. You must choose the right moisturizing skin care products according to your skin type. When using, you should choose the appropriate cream to care for it.
Proper use of lotions and creams
1, seasonal consideration
Just like the texture analysis of emulsion and cream above, because the two skin care products are light and heavy, different choices need to be made in different seasons. Now let's go back to the topic. Can these two things be used together?
The answer is, of course, yes. But there are trade-offs. In the hot summer environment, we all want our faces to be light and light, without too much burden, so we don't need to put cream on our faces, just a little lotion.
In fact, it should be noted that for some people with dry skin, it is not enough to apply only a thin layer of emulsion in winter. If it is oily or neutral skin, there is absolutely no need to use cream, but it should be noted here that if it is dry skin, it needs to be used together with cream to make the skin more moist.
2, the correct process
If the two need to be used together, then a whole skin care process is the order of cleansing, water, milk and cream.
The difference between cream and lotion
Cream is not suitable for summer use, and emulsion is suitable for use all year round. The cream is pasty, sticky, emulsion-like liquid, light in texture and easy to absorb. The cream contains a lot of oil and has a strong moisturizing effect. Although the absorption of emulsion is good, its moisturizing and retention time is not as strong as that of cream. When the weather is dry, you can still feel dry only by applying emulsion. Need to add cream to moisturize, lock skin moisture and strengthen moisturizing.
Can I use cream and lotion together?
As mentioned earlier, both creams and lotions can moisturize, but generally speaking, lotions are moist and tend to replenish water and moisturize, while creams are thick and tend to moisturize. Therefore, under normal circumstances, dry skin is often moisturized with cream, and oily skin is often moisturized with relatively clear emulsion. When dry skin is extremely short of water in autumn and winter, it often chooses lotion and then uses cream for deep moisturizing and protection. So you should choose whether to use lotion, cream or both according to your skin type. In addition, according to the seasonal changes, the types of lotions or creams should be changed at any time. However, it is generally recommended that even dry skin in summer should not be used with cream and emulsion. In summer, the skin has a fast metabolism and produces more oil. If you use lotion and cream at this time, it is easy to cause pore blockage, overnutrition and even skin allergy.
Summary: You don't have to use cream for skin care, but it is dry or neutral skin in winter. It is recommended to apply cream. Cream and lotion are generally not recommended to be used together, unless it is extremely dry skin or extremely dry climate, so as to avoid some side effects. Most sensitive skin is caused by the damage of sebum membrane. In the later period, due to a lot of improper care, sensitive skin further deteriorated. Therefore, while selecting some repair essences for repair, moisturizing is also very important. Generally, emulsion is enough in the south, and a layer of cream is applied after emulsion is needed in the north to resist drying.
