Face lotion: what is it and how do you use it?

A good cleanse is the foundation of every skincare routine. But it does not stop there. Especially after cleansing, your skin can use extra support. That is where a face lotion comes in.

A face lotion helps remove the last traces of dirt, makeup, SPF and cleanser. At the same time, it hydrates, soothes and prepares your skin for the next steps in your routine.

Do not see it as an unnecessary extra. See it as the smart connection between cleansing and care. Exactly what your skin needs today.

What is a face lotion?

A face lotion is a liquid skincare step that you use after your cleanser and before your serum or cream. The lotion helps refresh, hydrate and better prepare your skin for the care that follows.

A cleanser cleanses your skin. A face lotion perfects that cleanse. This way, you start with fresh, clean skin that is ready for active ingredients.

What does a face lotion do for your skin?

A face lotion has multiple functions in your skincare routine. Especially when your skin feels tight, dry, sensitive or out of balance after cleansing, this step can make a real difference.

• Removes the last traces of dirt
  Think makeup, SPF, sebum, minerals from water and cleanser residue that can remain on the skin after rinsing.
• Hydrates the skin
  A face lotion gives your skin an instant fresh and comfortable feeling.
• Soothes after cleansing
  Ideal when your skin quickly feels sensitive or tight.
• Helps neutralise the pH value
  After cleansing and tap water, your skin can temporarily feel out of balance. A lotion helps your skin feel comfortable again.
• Prepares your skin for serum and cream
  Slightly damp skin often absorbs the next steps in your routine more beautifully.

Which face lotion suits your skin?

You do not choose the best face lotion based on skin type alone. At LOOkX, we prefer to ask: what does your skin need today?

Does your skin feel dry or sensitive? Then you want a mild, hydrating lotion that gives comfort. Is your skin oilier or does it become shiny more quickly? Then you mainly want a fresh formula that leaves the skin feeling clean without drying it out.

The LOOkX Refresh lotion is suitable for all skin types. The formula removes the last traces of dirt and dead skin cells, hydrates, soothes and helps neutralise the skin’s pH value.

LOOkX Refresh lotion: fresh skin science for every day

The lotion contains, among others, panthenol B5 and cloudberry extract. The natural aromas of rosemary and peppermint give a fresh feeling and make this step extra invigorating.

You can also use the Refresh lotion as a cooling spray on warm days or as a setting spray, so your LOOkX makeup stays beautifully in place.

How do you use a face lotion correctly?

Use a face lotion every morning and evening after cleansing. Apply the lotion before your serum, cream or SPF.

• Step 1
  Cleanse your skin with a cleanser that matches what your skin needs today.
• Step 2
  Apply the face lotion to a cotton pad or directly into your hands.
• Step 3
  Gently sweep over your face, neck and décolleté. Avoid rubbing too hard.
• Step 4
  Then apply your serum and cream.
• Step 5
  During the day, always use SPF as the final step.

Conclusion: a face lotion makes your routine smarter
