The difference between cream, emulsion and gel cream: which one is more moisturizing?

There are many kinds of textures of facial creams. Creams of different textures are suitable for people with different skin types and have different effects. When choosing, you must choose products that are suitable for your skin.

Classic cream has the greatest repair ability, while emulsion is slightly worse than gel cream. The difference is not particularly strong. They are all at the forefront of repair creams. Gel cream has the best hydration ability, and emulsion is based on the second one. Cream will be drier but also has the strongest repair ability. It can be said that there is no way to take into account both hydration and moisturizing, so the hydration base should be prepared before using the cream. The difference between these three is not very big. They all focus on repairing, but their goals are the same, just the cream state is different. In order to meet the needs of skin care people with different skin types and preferences, which of the three creams to choose should be based on skin type, not which one has the strongest repair ability. In terms of emulsification, only creams need to be emulsified, while emulsions and gel creams do not need to be emulsified, so they are more convenient to use. Creams are more suitable for sensitive skin and dry skin, especially for those with damaged skin and red bloodshot skin. People with acne skin should give up using creams. Friends around me who have acne-prone skin generally report that using facial creams will aggravate their acne. There is no way to change this. After all, facial creams are most suitable for dry skin. To be on the safe side, try not to use facial creams. The power of facial creams is obvious to all, and when the skin is severely damaged, it is basically facial creams that save it.

Gel cream and lotion are similar in many aspects, such as the main ingredients and effects are very similar, but they are different in the skin types and textures they are suitable for. For example, the repair ability of gel cream is not as good as that of lotion, but the moisturizing effect is worse than that of lotion. In addition, they are suitable for different skin types. Gel cream is oil-free and suitable for oily skin and acne skin, while lotion is suitable for mixed skin or dry skin. They are suitable for different groups of people. If you have oily skin or mixed skin, then choose gel cream. If you have dry skin or mixed skin, then choose lotion. We should choose according to our needs and skin types, and we cannot blindly follow the trend and choose what others say is good.

Facial creams generally need to be emulsified so that they can be better absorbed after being applied to the face:

1. Emulsify in the palms. First, rub your hands gently until they are warm. Then put the cream in the palms and continue to rub. The cream can be diluted in this process.

2. Add 1-2 drops of essential oil to the cream for emulsification. You only need 1-2 drops of essential oil each time, not too much, otherwise your face will be covered with oil and affect absorption.

Thick and heavy creams need to be emulsified. If this kind of cream is not emulsified, its ductility and absorbency will be affected. In this way, the skin will not be able to absorb the nutrients in the cream well, which will naturally affect the skin care effect. Emulsified creams will be easier to absorb and can also better protect the skin.
