What are the differences between cream and lotion?

Facial cream actually has many uses, and it is not just a facial cream.

1. After autumn and winter, the foundation you used in summer has relatively good moisturizing properties. At this time, you can mix liquid foundation with facial cream, and make your own foundation cream from the summer liquid foundation to enhance the moisturizing effect.

2. Mix face cream with glitter and apply it on the outside of black stockings to avoid static electricity in autumn. In addition, the cream mixed with glitter will have a more shining effect when you go to the pub at night!

3. If your facial cream is lightly scented or unscented, you can add your favorite essential oils or essences to it yourself. But remember that the proportion of essential oils or essences added should not exceed 2% of the cream.

4. You can use facial cream as a first aid hair mask at a party

5. When you forget to bring makeup remover when traveling, you can use three times more facial cream than when applying makeup as makeup remover. The effect is quite good.

6. In terms of the manufacturing principles of skin care products, facial cream and wash-off facial masks are not much different, so you can use facial cream as a wash-off facial mask.

7. If you buy an unsuitable facial cream or no longer want to use it, you can add salt to the cream and use it as a body scrub.

8. Don’t throw away expired facial cream. It can be used as a very good shoe polish to polish your shoes.

Now let’s look at the lotion:

Let’s start with the analysis of the composition of the emulsion. Emulsion, as the name suggests, is a beauty liquid mixed with water, oil and other beauty ingredients. Because water and oil are incompatible with each other, emulsification technology is needed to combine the two into one. Its water and oil components generally account for 53% to 74% and 10% to 20% respectively. It can be said that the texture of lotion is between lotion and cream, so the functions of the three are naturally different and cannot replace each other.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the difference between cream and lotion. Therefore, when choosing them, we must pay attention to using them correctly, so that it will be of great help to protect the skin. However, when using some cosmetics, we must master the method of using them to improve the skin.
