JAKARTA - Having moist, chewy, and healthy skin is the dream of many people. However, to produce skin with the desired conditions, you need to do proper body care. One of them is to use a body lotion.

Using body lotion must also be done in the right way to get maximum results. Yes, applying body lotion with the type that suits your skin type can apparently help you get the desired benefits.

Shereene Idriss, MD, a dermatologist, reported the Byrdie page, Friday, September 2, in general body care products such as body lotions have innovated in the use of active materials. Where the product's active ingredients were created to overcome certain problems. Such as fine lines and wrinkles, body acne, and even conditions such as eczema and pillaric lacrisosis.

For this reason, the first thing you can do to get the right benefits of body lotion is to consider skin types. Especially knowing how much moisture your skin needs. If your skin is very dry, choose a body lotion with a more concentrated oil-based formula with higher concentrations of emolien and occlusive material. As for normal skin owners who tend to dry, you may be able to choose a lighter water-based body lotion option.

To distinguish body lotion for owners of dry and normal skin, you can see it through a packaging container. Water-based lotion is usually stored in a bottle with a pump. As for lotions with thicker formulas for dry skin to be placed in the jar.

The second thing in using body lotion correctly is by looking at the skin problems experienced. Body lotion with an oatmeal content is a very good choice for you with sensitive skin. As for those of you who have problems with back acne, use a niacinamide lotion. Which helps maintain a lipid layer on the skin and is anti-inflammatory.

Finally, the use of body lotion at the right time is also very important. Idriss suggests using lotion shortly after bathing. Its function is to lock the skin's natural moisture so that it remains smooth and hydrated.

You just need to dry your skin with a towel until it's half humid then apply a lot of lotion throughout your body. And rub with your hands until it's completely absorbed. You can also use tools, such as spatulas to help reach difficult points such as the back area.
