Should I use lotion or cream in summer?

In fact, our facial skin is very fragile and needs careful care. In different seasons, we need to use different skin care products. Especially in summer, when the temperature is quite hot, if you don’t choose the right skin care products, it will cause your skin pores to become clogged. So in summer, everyone should choose lotion carefully. Many friends asked, should we use lotion or cream in summer?

Affected by the hot summer, the skin is prone to sweating and oiliness, so it is not suitable to use facial cream in summer. Facial cream is in frosty form, has a thicker texture, and has high nutritional value. It is more difficult for the skin to absorb when applied. However, if the skin cannot absorb it and then produces oil and sweat, the face will appear dirty and greasy. On the contrary, lotion also has the effect of moisturizing and locking in moisture, but it is more refreshing and easier to absorb than facial cream, and is more suitable for use in summer.

Should I use lotion or cream for dry skin in summer?

Even in the hot summer, dry skin is still dry and dehydrated, and needs to be hydrated and moisturized. You can use lotion or cream. The lotion has a light texture and can gently moisturize the skin, making it suitable for dry skin. The cream is relatively thick, but people with dry skin can choose a refreshing cream, which can also be used in the summer.

It is best not to use facial cream for oily skin in summer, but lotion is more suitable. Many friends have misunderstood and think that oily skin is real oil. In fact, it is the imbalance of water and oil in the skin, which makes it oily on the outside and dry on the inside. Therefore, it still needs hydration and moisturizing, and lotion can do the job just right. In summer, oily skin itself produces more oil, and the nutritional content of facial cream is too high, so it is relatively more difficult to absorb and easily makes the face more greasy.

When is it appropriate to use facial cream?

Facial cream is suitable for night use. It is in frosty form. In addition to moisturizing and locking in moisture, it also has certain repair functions, such as anti-aging, stimulating cell regeneration, and promoting collagen synthesis. From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at night is the time of skin metabolism, and the skin's absorption capacity during this period is the strongest period of the day. Therefore, using facial cream for skin care at night can maximize its repair function and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

People who grow up in the Northwest region must use lotion and facial cream. The air in the Northwest region is relatively dry, with a lot of wind and rain, and the skin is easily dehydrated. Applying only lotion is not enough, as it can easily cause skin problems, spots or fine lines, etc. The moisture-locking ingredients of lotion are not as good as those of cream, and moisture is lost quickly. Therefore, lotion and cream can be used together. Apply lotion first and then cream. This can better moisturize the skin, lock in moisture and nutrients in the skin, and alleviate the embarrassment of dry and dehydrated skin.
