Good Lotions For Radiant Skin

By Haywood Hunter


Moisturizing the skin on a regular basis is one of the healthiest ways for keeping proper epidermal tone and lotions are a great method to achieve this. Selecting the right emulcents for one's body can be a matter of preference but is also a consideration of what is best for one's skin. With all of the lotions on the market today here are some points to mull on when next shopping in the health and beauty section of your favorite store.

Know your skin type. Buying very heavily perfumed lotions is sweet unless they cause an allergic reaction. Oily and dry type customers might want to be especially vigilant because some ingredients can cause an exacerbation of both conditions. Look for emollients specially targeted for your needs.

Shopping in haste is not good and neither is buying something just because everyone else seems to be buying it. This type of shopping is known as the crowd factor and is not something that usually works well when searching out skins care aids. There are emollients for the young skin, aging skin and damaged skin. One size does not fit all.

Lotions and creams are usually not all purpose items. The healers that may be good for one part of the body may not be suitable for another part. Take into account that the facial features are going to need a texture that is lighter and faster absorbing than other parts of the body. It would take a whole lot more of facial lotions to care for the rest of body. This would not be cost effective.

Foot lotions can be rather heavy with abrasive ingredients. Foot products may even contain chemicals that are harmful for the delicate surface of the countenance. Try not to mix and match these two types of protectants even if they seem to be similar in feel.

Other types of lotions are for specific protection against external harm to the body. Sunscreen lotions can be used by most anyone and are created with many different skin needs in mind. They create a protective bond against the strong ultraviolet rays of sun. With levels from low to very high SPF or sun protection factor these healers do a lot a good to guard against permanent skin damage.

Suntan lotions are often mistaken for sunscreen lotions. However, the difference between these two demulcents is huge. They are opposite types of remedies as suntan emollients will help to increase the darkening effects of the sun. However, balms used for darkening the skin can also be purchased with high and low protection factors, if one shops carefully.

Lotions can be used to alleviate rashes and heal the skin from various ailments. These emollients are some of the best and most convenient methods of caring for someone's body in the long and the short term. The next time you are shopping for beauty products for your skin it might be a good idea to do a bit of research on your needs and the product's effectiveness for them.
