How much difference does it make to your skin if you keep applying body lotion vs not applying it?

By Dr White

 


Consistently apply body lotion What will happen to my skin?

As we all know, many parts of the body do not produce much oil compared to the skin on the face. Especially the front side of the calf, which is the hardest hit by dryness.


What changes can be made in just one week? Come  hold on to your seat, we take you in 400 times the lens to watch the results of the experiment.



After 7 days, the left leg, which had continuously applied body lotion, had moisturized cuticles and significantly reduced flaking. On the other hand, the right leg, which had been "cut off" for 7 days, was a patchy mess. When I touched it, I felt a little bit sad that I have a different life from my mother.

Body Lotion How does it make the skin look better?

Our skin is protected against external stimuli and damage by the skin barrier consisting of the stratum corneum + sebum membrane.

Stratum corneum: like a 'brick wall'

Sebum membrane: like a 'waterproof membrane'


As we age, oil secretion and the natural moisturizing factors in the stratum corneum also gradually decrease.

This means that the "waterproof membrane" is broken and the "brick wall" is unstable, which visually shows dryness, flaking, loss of radiance and even wrinkles.

This is the time to find some external help to "patch the brick and film" to maintain the barrier function of the skin, and body lotion is this external help.

Moisturizing is the most basic and important part of maintaining the skin barrier.

Moisturization is done, many skin problems will be solved.

Okay, I know that applying body lotion is useful, but why should I stick to it for a long time? The reasoning is simple.

The moisturizer that plays a role will not only be lost gradually with the clothing friction will also follow the normal shedding of keratinocytes, it is impossible to use a tube for two months.

If you want to keep your skin moist, soft and glowing, then you should apply it regularly.
