JAKARTA - Many skin moisturizing products such as body lotion and body butter are the choices of creams used to moisturize the skin. Different activities require different types of moisturizer. In addition, different skin types require different products.

Before determining what type of moisturizer is suitable, know the differences in the benefits and content of moisturizing creams on the market. Body lotion, according to Pooja Nagdev – aromatherapist, beautician, and founder of Inatur- said that lotion is lighter than body butter. Absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy sensation on the skin.

Dody lotion contains ingredients called occlusive substances. This substance works by forming a barrier to prevent water loss from the skin. The more often you use it, the occlusive substances in the lotion will continue to keep your skin moisturized.

Body lotion is used to keep the skin from getting too dry. The lotion is also a mixture of water and oil emulsion so it is more hydrating and not sticky. The water content in it is higher and some are formulated to contain SPF which can be used during the day, as well as at night.

While body butter has less water content. Body butter usually contains cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil or vegetable oil. The benefits are not only moisturizing the skin, but also rejuvenating dry skin that can only be applied to problem areas, such as elbows, lips, hands, feet, and knees.

Body butter, suggested Nagdev, should be applied at night. Why? During sleep the body is in repair mode and is more effective when used at night.

If you spend a lot of time outdoors, use sunblock before leaving the house. The ingredients of sunscreen products are divided into chemical and physical categories based on their working properties. Chemical sunscreen ingredients work by converting ultraviolet (UV) rays into heat, so they do not harm the skin.

Make sure to choose a sunblock with an SPF (sun protection factor) content of at least 30. The SPF number refers to the level of protection against UVB rays. SPF 15 can block 93 percent of UVB, SPF 30 blocks 97 percent of UVB, SPF 50 blocks 98 percent of UBV, and SPF 100 blocks 99 percent of UV.

The choice of moisturizing cream is also very much nowadays. Confused about making a choice? Recently, compas.co.id, a digital comparison platform, through its official Instagram account announced product sales for the Brand Body Lotion and Body Butter categories, September 1-15 on e-commerce shope and tokopedia.

Surprisingly, local body lotion and body butter products, which were new to the age of corn, managed to rank sixth, with a market share of 1.9%, beating products that were much earlier, such as The Body Shop. Until now, D'Savior only has 2 products, namely Brightening Body Serum and Peeling Spray.

"We didn't expect to be in the top 10 best sellers throughout Indonesia in the field of body care. Logically, we can say that we are still a brand as old as corn. But, Alhamdulillah it turns out that we can compete with brands that were first present and of course we are grateful to loyal D'Savior customers who have been loyal and trusted us for body care. In the future we will continue to innovate and issue new quality products, especially body care to meet the needs of the wider community, "said Commissioner D'Savior, Dandy when contacted Sunday, November 6th.
