How to choose body milk

Moisturizing milk perfectly cares for body skin

Cosmetologists claim that milk obtained from plants is no worse in properties than natural milk. Chamomile or aloe vera is also added to the composition to heal minor cracks and abrasions. To add elasticity, hyaluronic acid and ceramides are added to the milk. Thanks to silicone, the product will make the skin smoother and more even.

Indications for use

Milk, depending on what ingredients it contains, can be of the following types:

  1. Nutritious.Ideal for very dry skin, as well as during the autumn-winter period.
  2. Moisturizing. If the skin is dehydrated and constantly loses moisture, it is better to choose moisturizing body milk.
  3. Normalizing.After using this milk, the skin becomes velvety and smooth.
  4. Perfumed. Many well-known perfume manufacturers, in addition to it, produce body milk with the same scent. It is recommended to use milk first and then apply perfume or eau de toilette so that the scent remains on the skin much longer.
  5. Tanning effect. If you use this milk regularly, you can give your skin a darker complexion. Unlike tanning under the sun, self-tanning does not dry out the skin, but rather moisturizes and nourishes it.
  6. Brilliant. When applying milk to the skin, it begins to shine a little thanks to the smallest particles contained in the milk.

Body milk can be used at any time of the year. In summer, it will relieve dehydration, tone and moisturize, and in winter it will give the body the necessary nutrition, eliminate flaking and dryness.

How to apply milk?

In order for the milk to perform all its functions, you need to choose the right product and apply it correctly to the skin. There are a lot of options in pharmacies, cosmetic stores, and on the Internet, and at the first moment you can get confused with such abundance. To begin with, you can read reviews about a particular product. If you have doubts, especially when buying expensive body milk, you can purchase a sample to understand whether this product is suitable or not.

The consistency of the milk makes it possible to apply it to the body without any problems. If the cream needs to be rubbed in, since it is denser and is poorly absorbed, then the milk is applied very easily and quickly. After application, there will be no sticky or greasy shine left on the skin, it immediately becomes soft, tender, and silky.

To achieve maximum effect, body milk should be used twice a day: in the morning after a shower and in the evening after a bath or shower. It is advisable not to use a product with a strong pungent odor. It can cause allergies; in addition, the annoying aroma is annoying, and you want to get rid of it quickly. It is better to choose milk with a pleasant, barely noticeable smell.

Compound

You need to choose products with ingredients listed in Russian, otherwise it will be difficult to determine the quality and effectiveness of the product. When choosing a product, remember that there is no composition that would solve all skin problems. High-quality nourishing body milk can eliminate 1-3 deficiencies.

Often, products nourish and moisturize the skin thanks to the main component - milk, which can be of animal or plant origin. Other ingredients may enhance the effect of the composition. Before choosing a cosmetic product for the body, study the characteristics of popular components:

  1. Aloe vera, chamomile, blue gentian - soothe, relieve inflammation, promote wound healing, and deeply moisturize.

Package

When choosing a product, remember that it is intended for daily use, so be sure to pay attention to the packaging. It is desirable that it fits comfortably in the hand and the mixture is squeezed out without difficulty. You need to choose products with a dispenser: the addition will protect the mixture from oxidation in the air and will help you rationally use moisturizing body milk.

Consistency

If possible, check its consistency before choosing a product. To do this, contact your sales consultant to open the package or offer a sample. Remember that the consistency of the product should be uniform; the ideal moisturizing body milk is not very viscous and not very thick. The mass should be easily distributed over the surface of the body. If the composition separates and leaves a film, this is a sign of poor quality or the end of the shelf life. It is better not to choose such a product.

Aroma

High-quality cosmetics have an unobtrusive aroma, without hints of chemicals: choose a composition whose smell does not overwhelm the perfume. If you use milk, which is pleasant but has a strong smell, then using it and simultaneously using perfume, deodorant, and eau de toilette can result in an ambiguous aroma.

Remember that highly deodorized products often cause allergies, so before choosing a product with raspberry, peach, or vanilla flavors, use a sample. If, during selection and inspection, rancid notes appear, discard the product, because it may be expired.

Manufacturer

Do not immediately choose well-known expensive brands, because after using them there is a risk of encountering unpleasant consequences. Often popular brands use hormonal ingredients in the production of products, which achieve quick results, but provoke addiction and changes in the composition of the skin.

Choose a moisturizing body milk based on its ingredients. Thus, sometimes cheap products made on a natural basis are superior in quality to expensive analogues. If you are in doubt about your choice, rely on the recommendations of your friends and real customer reviews.

Nowadays there is a variety of body products on the cosmetic market. The choice sometimes becomes very difficult, because everything on the packaging promises a visible effect. Cream, lotion and body milk differ from each other not only in composition, but also in properties. Let's look at each of them.

Body cream

The cream has a thick consistency and dense structure, since the composition is dominated by fatty components. The cream copes well with moisturizing, while affecting intracellular processes. By the way, all products aimed at deep effects (anti-cellulite, nourishing, anti-wrinkle) have a creamy structure.

The main principle of this product is to retain moisture in the body, so cosmetologists advise using the cream in the cold season, and in the summer giving preference to light textures. The cream protects the skin from flaking and dryness, but in summer it can create a greenhouse effect. Separately, it is worth noting the so-called cream butter. It has a delicate structure (like whipped cream), is easily absorbed and does not leave marks on clothes.

Body lotion

Many people believe that lotion is a light version of cream, but this is not true, because the products differ from each other not only in consistency, but also in action. We can say that lotion is a combination of emulsion and water. The lotion is not as greasy as cream, absorbs quickly and does not clog pores. It can be used on both oily and problem skin. But the disadvantage of the lotion is that the effect is not as deep as that of the cream.

Body milk

Body milk is an even lighter option. The product most often contains milk fats (milk lipids), which are actively involved in moisturizing and nourishing the skin. They can be of both plant (soybean, coconut) and animal (goat or cow's milk) origin. Body milk and cream have a lot in common. Milk retains moisture inside and moisturizes even the deep layers of the skin. The product is also absorbed very quickly and protects the skin.

When choosing a particular product, it is necessary to take into account individual characteristics and needs. The choice can also be influenced by the set of components, brand, consistency and even smell.
