More demanding….Moisturizing cream

Usually a crowd pleaser…Moisturizing lotion
For those who are afraid to dare, the tip is to opt for a moisturizing lotion, which is halfway between cream and moisturizing milk.
The lotion is more liquid than the cream, however, more consistent than moisturizing milk. It is absorbed more quickly compared to the cream and can be used all over the body.
It is suitable for practically all skin types. What’s more, because it hydrates without leaving the skin feeling ‘sticky’, it is an ideal option for hotter days.

Who doesn’t have much time…Moisturizing milk
Despite having high absorption, moisturizing milk is the least consistent of the three, it is also recommended for the entire body, except for elbows, knees and feet, which are drier in nature.
As it is quickly absorbed, it is highly recommended for those who do not have the patience -or time- to wait for the product to dry before getting dressed and also for those who do not like the feeling of “sticky” skin.

Important:
– Be careful not to choose a version of moisturizer that is too light for you, as this may not hydrate your skin adequately, and signs of dryness, such as itching, may begin to bother you.
– As in winter the tendency is to take warmer baths, leaving the skin drier, the tip is to opt for creams. However, of course, you can use a moisturizing lotion or milk that contains excellent active ingredients for hydrating the skin.
– It is worth repeating the cream on the driest areas of the body that dry out even more in winter.
