The difference between primer and lotion

There is a difference between primer and lotion. Primer is a specially made one that can be used as a base before makeup. When applied to the face before makeup, it will not only be very moisturizing, but also more suitable for makeup. Good makeup will also adhere better. Primer is a whitening cosmetic that can modify the skin. Lotion is a liquid skin care product that is more suitable for application on the skin when the weather is dry.

Primer

Primer is a type of whitening makeup product. It is mainly used to modify the flaws of uneven skin tone and dullness. Topical application can make the skin flawless and present a crystal clear and natural luster.

It is used by women before putting on makeup. It is usually a white liquid, but it can also be a transparent liquid, and most of them are milky white liquid.

Lotion

Lotion is a liquid cream-like skin care product. It is called lotion because it looks pure white like milk. The lotion has good emollient and moisturizing effects and is especially suitable for use in the dry spring and autumn seasons. If your skin is neutral, you can also use it in winter. When used in spring and autumn, in addition to its moisturizing effect, it can also isolate the skin from the dry climate outside, prevent the skin from losing moisture too quickly, and avoid skin dryness and peeling. It is a must-use skin care product when going out in the dry season.

Difference between lotion and cream

1) First of all, in terms of appearance, lotion is liquid and cream is paste;

2) Secondly, the texture of lotion is thinner. The lotion of the same brand feels more refreshing than the cream. Therefore, lotion is more suitable for summer or oily skin, while cream is thicker and suitable for dry seasons and medium-dry skin.

3) Again, lotion is generally absorbed faster than cream, but it is not as moisturizing as cream;

4) Many brands have launched repair creams to be used after lotion. You can directly apply lotion during the day, and apply a layer of repair cream after the lotion at night to enhance the protective effect.

Unlike creams, lotions penetrate the skin quickly. The surface of the skin is composed of stratum corneum cells, which are surrounded by some intercellular lipids. These intercellular lipids determine the moisture level of our skin. The water-oil ratio of the lotion is closest to these intercellular lipids, so it adheres very well after application.

The main ingredients of facial creams are mostly cell activating ingredients, so the moisturizing ingredients of most facial creams are relatively less than those of lotions. The amount of lotion used will definitely be more than the amount of facial cream used, so the moisturizing ability of lotions is strong enough.

Generally speaking, the oil content in facial cream is higher than that in lotion. Although the products of different brands are different, the water-oil ratio in lotion is more suitable for hydration.

Benefits of using lotion

1〉The texture of lotion is lighter. The same brand of lotion is lighter than cream. So lotion is more suitable for summer or oily skin, while cream is thicker and suitable for dry season and medium-dry skin.

2〉Lotion is generally absorbed faster than cream, but it is not as moisturizing as cream;

3〉Many brands have launched a series of facial creams and lotions. You can apply the lotion directly during the day and apply the facial cream at night to enhance the effect.
