What is the difference between day cream and lotion

There is no girl who doesn't love beauty. Most girls will use some skin care products since childhood, and they will pay more attention to skin care when they grow up. Many girls’ dressing tables are filled with a pile of bottles and jars of skin care products. Some girls don’t know the difference between day cream and lotion when they just start taking care of their skin. Here I will explain to the majority of female friends the difference between day cream and lotion as well as their respective uses and effects.

Day cream has a frosty texture, while lotion has a certain fluidity and a lighter texture. It feels more refreshing and moisturized on the skin and is easier to absorb. So day cream is more suitable for dry skin, while lotion is more suitable for people with oily skin.

2. There is a difference in moisturizing strength between day cream and lotion

The texture of day cream is frosty and thicker because it contains more oily ingredients than lotion. Therefore, if you use day cream, the moisturizing effect will be stronger than lotion. Lotion only makes the skin feel more moisturized and easier to absorb when used, but it cannot keep the skin moisturized for a long time.

The nutrients in day cream are more than those in lotion, which can replenish more abundant nutrients for the skin and help the nutritional status of the skin. Of course, for some skin with problems such as acne due to overnutrition, it is better to use a more refreshing lotion, which will not add burden to the skin and is conducive to the recovery of skin problems.

4. Day cream and lotion are different in terms of skin type

Day cream is more suitable for people with dry skin because it contains more oily ingredients, so using it on dry skin can slow down the loss of skin moisture and increase moisturizing effects. Lotion is more suitable for people with oily skin. If oily skin uses day cream, it will feel oilier and not breathable and refreshing enough. Lotion is easier to absorb and has a better moisturizing effect.

Because day cream has better moisturizing effect and contains more oily ingredients, it is more suitable for use in the dry autumn and winter seasons. Lotion is refreshing and moisturizing to use, so it is best to use lotion in summer. If you use lotion in a dry climate, your skin will easily become dry, so you can also apply a layer of day cream after using lotion.

6. The difference between day cream and lotion

Day creams generally have the effect of isolation and protection, which can protect the skin from the invasion of the external environment. Some day creams also have a certain sun protection effect and can isolate ultraviolet rays. However, lotion does not have such an effect and can only hydrate and moisturize the skin.
