Mists, oils or creams for the body: what's the difference?
The classic texture: the cream
No need to present them, we know by heart cream textures, but also body milks, which are part of the same family but are a little more light. It is they, milks and creams, that have been pampering our skin for a long time. But do we really know what is behind it? In fact, milks and creams are composed of water and oil. Their formula combines moisturizing ingredients that will bring water to the skin and nourishing assets that will bring him fat, the two essential things that the skin needs to be in perfect health. Depending on our skin type, we will then choose formulas that favor one or the other of these facets: water for dehydrated skin and fat, like butters, for dry skin. However, it is important to know that creams only hydrate the upper layers of the skin. For more care, we prefer the oil, which will feed deeply.
The texture: the oil
It's the fashionable texture. If the oils often rhymed with summer and glitter, they are now democratized and take care of us all year round. It must be said that the oil has serious assets to take care of our body. It is so full of beneficial ingredients for the skin: essential fatty acids but also antioxidants, vitamins and trace elements. A composition that makes it in perfect affinity with the skin, these assets thus penetrating perfectly and more deeply, for greater efficiency. Result: it moisturizes, nourishes and repairs the epidermis, while providing flexibility and softness. It also helps to sublimate the skin. If we do not like the greasy finish it can leave on the skin, we will opt for a dry oil, so dry touch. And it will be chosen preferably plant and non-mineral. One can opt for classic vegetable oils - argan, jojoba, sweet almond ... -, organic if possible, or cocktails of different oils launched by cosmetic brands. Small bonus: the oils are often multi-purpose. Many oils, vegetable or commercially available, can also be used to nourish the skin of the face or hair.
The rising texture: the mist
If hydration of the body is essential not to end up with a crocodile skin, we still tend to zap for care to the sticky texture. In the morning, we are often in a hurry and we do not necessarily have time to wait until our body cream deign to penetrate before getting dressed. The mists are thus becoming more and more successful. These new body treatments also contain moisturizing ingredients but have a very light texture, which penetrates instantly. They are pschitte on the body, without necessarily need to spread (everything depends on the product), and they are immediately absorbed, no need to let dry either. Like moisturizing waters, which could be classified in the same family, they are also refreshing and energizing. This texture also has another big plus: the mists are often scented. In summer, they can replace our usual fragrance. Perfect for those who do not support the scent when it's hot but do not want to give up their wake.
