What are the roles of lotion and milky lotion, which are the cornerstones of skin care, and what is the difference between them?

Men’s beauty beginners must read! Frequently Asked Questions about lotion and milky lotion

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about lotion and milky lotion.

FAQ (1) “What is the order of applying lotion and milky lotion?

The correct order is to apply lotion first and then finish with milky lotion. After moisturizing the stratum corneum with lotion, use milky lotion to lock in moisture and lead to skin that is free from dryness. In general, a serum is used between the lotion and milky lotion.

Frequently asked Q&A (2) “Should lotion and emulsion be made by the same manufacturer?”

Basically, if they are made by the same manufacturer, the skincare products are compatible with each other and maximize their effects. However, this does not necessarily mean that the skin care products of the same manufacturer are compatible with each other. For example, “lotion suits my skin, but milky lotion is not enough,” and so on. However, when in doubt, it is a good idea to choose items from the same manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions (3) “I heard that lotion that foams when shaken is not good, is it true?”

This is not true. There is no problem with lotion that foams. The surfactant called “solubilizer” is one of the most common causes of foaming when shaking lotion. It is formulated to maintain product stability and can be considered a rather skin-protective ingredient. It is possible to feel irritation if you have very sensitive skin, but basically there is no need to consider it a problem.

FAQ 4: “Is hand pressing really effective?”

Hand pressing means to blend lotion or milky lotion by hand. This is an effective method because skincare cannot be fully absorbed by simply placing it on the skin. Be sure to use a careful hand press rather than just applying the lotion or milky lotion randomly.

FAQ 5: “Is it safe to use emulsion on acne-prone skin?”

Even acne-prone skin needs milky lotion. When skin dries out, it over-secretes sebum, which can cause acne. Using milky lotion and taking good care of the skin will lead to the improvement of acne. However, many men may not like the stickiness caused by oil. In that case, we recommend choosing an oil-free or gel milky lotion.
