In winter people use body lotion to maintain the moisture of their skin. But if you are using body lotion for the face also then it can be harmful to your face skin.
Skin Care Tips: In winter, our skin often becomes dry and lifeless. In such a situation, people take many measures to get rid of the dryness of the skin. At the same time, many people use body lotion on the face to maintain the moisture of the skin. But do you know that applying body lotion on the face can cause a lot of damage to your skin? If you are also among these people who use body lotion on their face, then you should change this habit as soon as possible. Because doing so can prove to be very harmful to your face. So let's know what problems the skin has to face by applying body lotion on the face.
Blackheads problem
If you are continuously using body lotion on the face, then it blocks the pores of your facial skin, due to which dirt starts accumulating on the face. Due to this dirt present on the face, you may have the problem of blackheads.
Dryness problem
If you are applying body lotion thinking that using it will bring back the lost moisture of your skin, then you are wrong. Actually, by applying body lotion on the face, the natural oil of the face ends, and your skin becomes even drier.
Damage to skin cells
The pH level of body lotion used for the body is very high. On the other hand, if we talk about the face, using body lotion reduces the pH of the skin of the face, due to which skin cells start getting damaged and cracks start appearing in the skin of the face.
Face becomes lifeless
Our skin often becomes lifeless in winter, but if you use body lotion on your face, it will reduce the number of amino acids present in your facial skin. This will make your face look even more dull and lifeless.
Pimple and acne problem
The use of body lotion closes the skin pores of the face, due to which the bacteria present in the pores can cause pimples and acne on the face. Especially if your skin is sensitive, then due to body lotion, you may also have problems like irritation and rashes on the face.
