A Complete Guide on the Effective Use of Body Cream
                     A Complete Guide on the Effective Use of Body Cream
Marcus Valerius Martial said, "Life is not merely to be alive, but to
be  well."   For  wellness,  everyone  needs  a  sound  mind  in  the
sound  body.  A  sound  body  does  mean  the  health  of  every
organelle, tissues, organ, and organ system. But how often is the
skin neglected when discussing the matter of the healthy body?
Even for the few who might pay attention to their skin health,
they are far from perfection. Data from the USA national survey
indicates  that  80% are  doing  it  incorrectly  and  inconsistently.
That's despite the influx of body creams, lotions, and jellies. For
that, we focus on why and how to use all-purpose creams. We
also explore other natural measures, as your ultimate skincare
solution. Here are all you deserve to know and practice. 
How to give your skin the best care 
1. Choose creams over lotions and jellies
Creams  are  superior  to  the  lotions  in  essence  that  they  are
thicker than lotions. Because of that, they are only alternatives
that make the skin ultra-hydrated. The reason behind the same is
that they have more oils, which makes them trap the necessary
moisture from the skin. Lotions, on the other hand, are less thick
and, therefore, less viscous.
Creams are superior options because of their long-lasting effect
on the skin. Also, they are good sunscreen protectors. A good
layer  of  cream  can  last  as  long  as  12  hours  of  maximum
protection.
In abstract form, below are all the reasons why skin protectors
are the best alternatives.
 Keeps skin hydrated and avoids dryness
 Cell  revitalization  and  replenishment  of  dry  areas  like
elbows, knees, and ankles.
 Naturally Glowing skin
 Good smell
 Protection against the harmful ultraviolet gradations
2. Know your skin type
By skin type, it has nothing to do with skin color but the skin
orientation.  Because  of  different  weather  conditions,  hormonal
imbalances, and aging effects, we develop various skin types. The
most common skin types are:
 Normal/eudermic  skin- Skin  has  balance  moisture,
texture, and cell revitalization
 Dry- Produce less sebum hence fewer lipids, which produce
less of protective layers on the skin
 Oily/ seborrhea skin – This skin type is characterized by
the overproduction of sebum
 Combination  skin-This  is  skin  type  with  a  mixed
combination  of  conditions.  Often conditions  resulting from
external factors like extreme exposure to UV rays.
It  is  easier  to  identify  Dry  an  Oily/  seborrhea  skin  types.
However, for normal skin, one needs to check for the following:
 Good blood circulation
 Not prone to sensitivity
 Fine pores
 No blemishes
 A soft and smooth texture
If you have normal skin,  all purpose cream will serve better to
keep you healthy and protected. But for other conditions, medical
cream, in combination with all-purpose, can do best.
3. Wash the face and body regularly 
To start with, observe body hygiene through regular baths and
washing your face. It is common knowledge that our skin is the
greatest  of  all  excretory  systems.  It  is  responsible  for  the
excretion of heavy metals and bisphenol A (BPA).   A continuous
sweat  will  form  a  layer  over  your  skin  and  block  the  pores,
interfering with skin moisture content and cooling.
If the skin does not naturally cool or get moisture, it becomes
damaged, increasing the chances of skin infections. You can avoid
all  these  by  regularly  washing  your  body  and  face.  Scientists
recommend that you should wash at least twice a day. But there
is no limit on how many times you should wash.
Also, be consistent with wiping the entire body dry. Dump skin
develops bacteria, which will eventually result in inflammations.
4. Apply your cream on the whole body
It is a common practice among most people only to give attention
to faces. And probably, their legs. But the other body parts are
often ignored.  It is a common truth that faces are more exposed
parts of the skin hence more vulnerable. But the other factors are
not very safe either!
So, assume the practice of smearing creams all over your bodies.
5. Be consistent with a particular cream.
Among the majority of adults, it is common practice to stick to a
particular type of cream. However, the biggest problem is with
the youth. They are often moving with Perceptions, influencers,
and attitudes. Often, they become victims of everything attractive
and new and shift from one cream to another.
The problem is never the creams but the act of changing. Apart
from natural cream, the rest have specific chemical structures in
varied  proportions.  They  might  comprise  of  Formaldehyde,
Oxybenzone, sodium lauryl sulphate/ sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS),
Petrolatum,  Coal  tar,  Triclosan,  Hydroquinone,  and  Parabens.
Exposure to all these chemicals, which are not very safe, is not
good.  But  it  is  worst  if  the  exposure  keeps  changing  with
quantities, qualities, and types.
Then  the  body  cells  are  fatigued  with  regular  adaptations.  A
process  that  result  in  abnormal  cells  hence  abnormal  skins.
Therefore, it is advisable to choose a particular type of cream and
stick to it for as long as it serves you better.
All  purpose  cream  is,  in  most  cases,  the  best.  Because  they
moisturize and revitalize your skins. These are two very crucial
skin  protection  practices.  Also,  they  rarely  contain  harmful
substances.
