Koel Water Bodylotion voor Vrouwen - Verwen je Huid met Frisheid

W/O Emulsion does not blend well with water

When stirred the dispersions with a glass rod, you will see the W/O repels water and does not blend with water whereas the O/W emulsion blends and disperses in water.

After stirring the mixture, the W/O emulsion remains white in a surrounding pink solution whereas the O/W emulsion turns pink, meaning the colour blends with the emulsion.

You can easily observe the difference between the W/O and O/W emulsions by adding a water-soluble colour. W/O emulsion does not blend and O/W emulsion blends.

Making a Hot Process Emulsion

Massage It In

Dr. Levine recommends rubbing the lotion in circular motions onto your skin, massaging it in. Massage is one step many people forget, but massage boosts circulation to the area, which helps diminish dullness and promote lymphatic drainage. Research shows that it also helps to reduce tension in the skin, allowing blood to flow to the surface easier for a healthy glow. It’s also a nice relaxing ritual at the end of a long day if you’re a nighttime shower person.

And, if you’re someone who doesn’t like the feeling of thick body lotion on your hands, try applying it with a brush. Many brands now offer skin-care brushes, and some are designed for use on the body, too, like Artis’s Fini Brush and Anisa’s Pinnacle Body Brush. At the end of each week, or whenever you feel like it needs to be washed, just wash it like you would any makeup brush.

Our editors have been loyal fans of this body lotion for years, so it’s no surprise that it scored highest during testing. Formulated with a blend of five peptides (which are great for firming), fatty acids, shea butter, and a combination of nourishing oils like marula oil and meadowfoam oil, it works to quench dry skin, leaving it soft and moisturized. It also contains a dose of niacinamide to do a number on dark spots while contributing to a healthy skin barrier.

This powerful combination of moisturizing ingredients left our skin feeling comfortable and hydrated—sans a greasy residue. The texture feels like a nice hybrid between a liquidy lotion and a rich cream, making it suitable for daily use year-round. It absorbed into our skin quickly, allowing us to easily slip into our clothes just a minute after application. We also love that it’s fragrance-free—so it won’t compete with perfume or irritate reactive skin. We’re giving bonus points to the brand for offering it in multiple sizes and making the packaging simple, elevated, and functional.
