The main difference between hand cream and moisturizing cream
The key difference between hand cream and moisturizer lies in the different emphasis of their products. Because hand skin is often exposed, without any clothes protection, and at the same time contact with various things every day, it is very easy to dry. Therefore, hand cream adds a lot of softeners than moisturizing cream. The texture of hand cream is thicker, more moist and easier to repair, because this is what hand skin needs most. Because the skin of the body is protected by clothes and is not in direct contact with the outside world, the maintenance degree is better than that of the skin of the hands. Therefore, the role of moisturizing cream can be said to be varied, such as hydrating, whitening, slimming, fragrance and so on. Moisturizing cream contains far less effective ingredients than hand cream.
Can moisturizer be used as hand cream?
Body lotion can't be used as hand cream. Although many people often classify hand skin as body skin, there are differences between hand skin and body skin, and hand skin is more delicate than body skin. Therefore, according to different parts, the composition of body lotion and hand cream is also different. If you use body lotion as hand cream, the effect is far less than that of hand cream.
What happens when body lotion is used as hand cream?
Body lotion is not moisturized by hand cream: hand cream mainly moisturizes the skin, and body lotion supplements nutrition. Moreover, our hands are exposed all the year round, and we have to touch all kinds of things, so the water loses faster. Therefore, the moisturizing degree of the body lotion of the hand skin is completely insufficient, and no matter how it is used, it can not completely improve the dryness of the hand.
Body lotion is not effective as a hand cream: our hands are in direct contact with external things, so it is also the easiest to cocoon, so general hand creams have the function of protection and isolation, which can protect our hands from the external environment and ultraviolet rays to a certain extent, but body lotion does not have this effect, so if we wipe our hands with body lotion, the protection is not enough.
