Skin Care: Lotions Vs. Skin Care Creams
27
Nov
There is no dearth of skin care creams and lotions in the market. Name an ailment, and you will find hundreds of skin care creams, lotions and other products for it. As a result of ongoing research and due to ever increasing demand, the number of skin care products seems to be on the increase. Skin care lotions and skin care creams are the most popular forms in which these products are available, and there always seems to be a debate on which form is better?
Well, there is no definitive answer to this. It seems more like a matter of personal choice. However, greasy creams are surely less popular as compared to the non-greasy (or less greasy) ones. Since the application of skin care creams is easier, they seem to be preferred (over lotions) in cases where the skin care product is not to be removed immediately after application. So, skin care creams seem more popular as moisturisers than as cleansers or toners. For toners, lotions seem to be preferred over skin care creams. There are some skin care creams that acts as toners too, but generally the toners are available in liquid form only. For cleansing, lotions and skin care creams are equally popular; however, the tilt seems more towards lotions.
Creams are known to be most effective in keeping skin moist; hence, the most popular form of skin care creams is moisturisers. Due to the same reason, a lot of people tend to associate skin care creams with dry and sensitive skin. Though it is true to a certain extent, skin care creams are not used only for dry skin, they are also used for making products for oily skin e.g. vitamin A creams and sulphur creams that help reduce the rate of sebum production.
Skin care creams are also used for products that cater to skin disorders especially for disorders that require the application of product over a small localised area. This is again due to the fact that skin care creams are easier to apply (without wastage) on the affected area. However, in cases where skin needs to be washed using a medicine/product, lotion is a better choice. Mostly, the manufacturers too realize this fact, making it easier for you to choose between a lotion and a skin care cream
Eye-creams and anti-ageing creams are other examples where skin care cream is preferred over its lotion counterpart.
Whatever your choice be (cream or lotion), knowing how to use it effectively, is more important than anything else.

I’m planning to get my girlfriend some hair care / skin care products for her birthday. I don’t want just average stuff, I want the BEST — the stuff that will make her feel like her hair is healthy and shiny etc. And the lotion that is good for her skin and all that.
Is there a certain brand that’s excellent? it’s ok if I have to order it, her Bday is a couple weeks away still.
Thanks
Skin Creams And Lotions – Learn To Distinguish Between The Two

There is plethora of lotions and skin creams available in the market. For any disorder there is a wide range of skin creams and lotions are available. Due to more and more research as well as demand, availability of skin care products in the market are increasing every day for every type of skin. Both skin care creams as well as lotions are in demand but which form of skin care is a better lotion or a cream is a debatable question?
Actually it is entirely a personal selection hence there is no right or wrong answer. Nevertheless, oily creams are not as famous as non-oily creams and lotions because oily creams and lotion need to be removed before applying makeup unlike non-oily creams and lotion. Skin creams are more popular because they are easy to apply specially when there is no need to remove the same immediately on applying. Skin creams are more in demand as moisturizers whereas lotions are in demand as cleansers and toners. Though toners are available in cream form too, lotions are preferred over creams. As far as cleansers are concerned, though both lotions and creams are in equal demand inclination seems to be towards lotions
Creams help in keeping the skin moist hence skin care creams in the form of moisturizers are most in demand. Because of this reason many people relate skin care creams to dry and sensitive skin. Even though it is a fact that to some degree, skin creams are not for dry skin alone, there are also creams for oily skin as well as for normal or combination skin. For example, creams of vitamin A and Sulphur help in reduction in the rate production of sebum hence good for oily skin type.
Skin infections can also be treated by skin care creams specially infections where it has to be locally applied. This is because creams can be applied locally without any wastage. However the skin treatment demands washing of the particular area with medicine or an antiseptic product, and only then lotion should be used. Manufacturers are aware of this hence they make it easier to select between a lotion and cream.
As far as eyes and anti aging is concerned, creams are more popular than lotion.
Whether you select cream or lotion, using it properly is most important than everything else.
