Treatment lotions are taking the skincare world by storm, but what is a treatment lotion and where does it fit in with the rest of your skincare regimen? Discover all you need to know about this extra TLC step your routine might be missing.
What is a treatment lotion?
Sometimes called an essence or a watery lotion, treatment lotions are the perfect ‘extra care’ step in anyone’s skincare routine. They penetrate skin’s surface so skin feels more hydrated, soft and supple.
Why do you need a treatment lotion?
A treatment lotion for skin can help if you struggle with dehydration, dullness, excess oil, signs of aging and other common skin concerns. These formulas can help optimize your skin’s ability to absorb serums and moisturizers to help skin maintain moisture throughout the day.
What is the difference between a treatment lotion and a toner?
The difference between toner vs. treatment lotion can be tricky, but there’s one major difference between the two. A treatment lotion is different from a toner because toners help with removing impurities, whereas treatment lotions are mainly for adding hydrating (and other) ingredients.
