There are a variety of body lotions for us to choose from today. We understand that lotions may be unnecessary to apply due to the Malaysian humid weather here. But with the amount of time we now spend indoors, what's more, in an air-conditioned room, your body does need some moisturising care with these given conditions.
Here, we list the best body lotions in Malaysia you can take care of your body with.
Is lotion the same as a moisturizer?
Essentially, yes. Both lotions and moisturizers have the same primary function - to protect and hydrate your skin. The core difference between both products is the texture. Lotions are typically higher in water content, making it suitable for oilier skin types as the texture is more lightweight. Meanwhile, moisturizers are higher in oil content with a thicker and richer consistency, which makes it perfect for drier skin types.
