Body Lotion Continued
Special-Purpose Body Lotions
While most body lotions will moisturize the skin, some types of body lotions also have other special properties. One popular type of body lotion is the anti-cellulite lotions made by several manufacturers. These products claim to tighten the skin and reduce the dimply look of cellulite. Hand creams and foot creams often have special ingredients to soothe the extra-dry skin that is often found on these body parts, and may also help nails look healthier.
Scar therapy body lotions claim to reduce the appearance of scars over time, using various ingredients to soften the look of scars and help blend them into surrounding skin. Shave minimizing body lotion is another popular choice, with an active ingredient that slows hair growth over time and can reduce the frequency of shaving or hair removal that is needed for a smooth, sleek feel.
Other special body lotions include shimmer lotions, skin firming body lotions, body lotions designed to fade stretch marks and extra-strength body lotions for extremely dry skin. Aromatherapy body lotions have specially blended fragrance ingredients that can have an invigorating, relaxing, stress-relieving, calming or uplifting effect, and some body lotions will also contain pigment to even out skin tone.
The possibilities are endless, but all body lotion will have at least one primary goal in common: to moisturize the skin, and to create a healthier, smoother appearance by soothing away dry spots and roughness.
