Moisturizing the skin more often like two times a day results in good and healthy skin. The body lotion and moisturizer which are two different products help in hydrating the body and face individually. So, coming to the main point, CAN WE USE THE SAME MOISTURIZER ON THE BODY AND FACE?
The answer is NO!!
This is the reason moisturizers and body lotions are made for particular skin types. So, facial products should not be applied on body and body products on the face. Body skin is different from facial skin mainly in thickness, skin on the face is more delicate than body skin so highly concentrated body lotions should not be used on the face. The body lotions are highly exfoliated and moisturizing than face moisturizers which makes the skin irritated and rough.
Applying the body lotion once or twice on the face is ok, but if you regularly follow it as a routine it will result in blackheads, whiteheads, and acne on the skin. The most important thing to remember while applying body lotion on the face is your skin tone will be disturbed.
