Why?
In a nutshell, your skin on your face is different from your skin on the rest of your body — so they need different care regiments.
What makes face and body lotion different?
In short, face and body products serve different purposes.
“Products made for the body are generally stronger in terms of moisturizing or exfoliating the body,”
In other words, they could be too tough or aggressive for the sensitive skin on your face. Facial creams, on the other hand, are specially designed to protect this delicate skin.
Many facial skin care products also have a more specific purpose, such as treating acne or reducing the appearance of redness or discoloration, dark spots, or wrinkles. These skin concerns tend to show up more commonly on your face, due to its thinner skin and extra oil glands.
In fact, you’ll notice that many facial products aren’t lotions at all. Instead, they’re creams. “Creams are often richer, while lotions are more water-based and liquid in form,”
Facial skin also spends a lot more time exposed to the elements, like heat, cold, or the sun’s UV rays. Consequently, many facial products have a dual purpose: They help protect facial skin from potential damage while also working to improve any skin concerns you might have.
They also contain different ingredients
Since face creams and body lotions serve different skin care roles, they contain different ingredients.
Body lotions usually contain moisturizing ingredients, like butters or oils, to lock in moisture. However, these heavier ingredients can worsen skin concerns like acne.
You might also choose a body lotion based on how appealing you find its fragrance — but those fragrances can easily irritate more delicate skin.
Facial lotions and creams, meanwhile, tend to contain more active ingredients that help manage skin concerns. These ingredients tend to have a higher cost, so they’re often not included with body lotions.
