What are Body Lotions?

Quinessence Aromatherapy body lotions are essential skincare products that help to hydrate, moisturise, and protect your skin. They consist of a combination of water, oils and emulsifiers that work together to create a layer helping to retain the skin's moisture. Usually applied after bathing or when the skin feels dry, body lotions provide nutrients that leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and well hydrated. They come in various formulations, for different skin types and concerns, and often include additional ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants, and essential oils for added benefits. Their lightweight texture ensures easy absorption and makes them suitable for daily use.

How to Use Quinessence Body Lotions in Balance with Essential Oils?

To use body lotions with essential oils, start by choosing a neutral lotion as a base. Add a few drops of essential oils for fragrance. Consider the properties of each essential oil to achieve the desired effects: ylang-ylang oil for hydrating the skin, neroli oil to minimise acne and inflammation, patchouli oil for reducing signs of ageing like wrinkles and dark spots, lavender oil for reducing discolouration, and tea tree oil for getting rid of acne. Once you have mixed the essential oils with the body lotion, stir well before application to ensure it is fully incorporated. Since essential oils are potent, it is advisable to use them in moderation and perform a patch test prior to use to rule out any skin sensitivity.

What to Look for When Buying Body Lotions?

Here are some factors to consider before buying a body lotion:

1. Consider Your Skin Type: For dry skin, choose thicker or oil-based lotions that help keep your skin hydrated. For oily skin, go for lightweight body lotions, and for sensitive skin, opt for lotions that contain relaxing ingredients such as aloe vera and chamomile.

2. Check Ingredients: Look for body lotions that contain ingredients like green tea, chamomile, and licorice root extract. These antioxidants protect your skin cells from damage while supporting the growth of new skin cells.

3. Look for SPF Protection: Ultraviolet rays are one of the main causes of premature ageing. They damage skin cells and increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Choose a body lotion with an SPF of 15 or higher that acts as a barrier against sun rays and protects your skin.

4. Try Before You Buy: It is recommended you test a body lotion before purchasing. Perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction.
