Body cream and lotions both are two different forms of emollients that helps to bring back the moisture to the skin. The choice is entirely yours – whether you intend to use a body lotion or a body cream. The dependence factor is the dryness of your skin. The other factor is also which part of the body would you be applying the body cream or the lotion. If the skin surface is too rough and dry, consult a beauty expert. For example, the most dry area on your body part is the elbows and the knees, which have a higher tendency to dry up. Another factor which plays a part is which season of the year have you been applying the two different products. In the winters, the hand tends to get more dried up due to the chilling temperature and lack of humid content in the air.
Body Lotions
Body lotions are mixtures of water and oil which is light and non-greasy. Body lotions get absorbed into the skin quite fast after being applied and leave a real cooling sensation soon afterwards. This is the reason why they are more widely used in the warmer months of the year. Those who suffer from weeping eczema, body lotions are the best option for you. It can also act wonders for those who have a mild dry skin. Body lotions are preferably more used at places where there are more hair like the chest area of men.
Body Creams
Body creams are similar to that of body lotions with a combination of oil and water. But, to be precise, creams are thicker in their consistency than the body lotions. Most creams are non greasy barring a few. This is the common trait with that of body lotions. Body creams works the best in winter season when there is harsh wind and your skin tends to get more dried up. It acts as a moisturizer.
