What is better, lotion or body oil?
Lotion or body oil? We don't know anyone who hasn't asked themselves this question at least once in their life. Lotions are known to be "more practical" as they absorb quickly, but oils are cleaner (lotions are often mixed with wax). However, none of that is the key difference. The crucial aspect is what you want to achieve for your skin and if you have any skin issues. Oils help replenish lost moisture in the skin, especially after cleansing or exfoliating. They are like food for our skin. Lotions are thicker and contain water. They also contain various formulas for different skincare needs, such as relieving itchiness or eczema. Women in perimenopause are advised not to use either oils or lotions. Instead, moisturizing creams are recommended, which more effectively treat dryness caused by hormonal changes.
