TREATMENT LOTIONS: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

Inspired by the skincare routine of Asian women, treatment lotions make a dynamic entrance into our daily rituals. Their multiple benefits and ability to boost the effectiveness of our skincare products counterweight the expense and effort needed for their daily use.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT LOTIONS?

Treatment lotions are also called softeners. They are a bit like toners but actually the only common thing between toners and treatment lotions is their liquid form. They are not designed to remove cleanser residue or temporarily strip away excess sebum and minimize the appearance of pores.
As implied by their name, most of them are packed with moisturizing and revitalizing agents that balance pH, restore moisture loss in the upper layer and help the active ingredients of the products used shortly after to better penetrate into the skin.

WHY TO CHOOSE A TREATMENT LOTION?

Unlike toners which are part of the cleansing process, treatment lotions soothe, refresh and moisturize the skin. They serve as the ideal carriers of the valuable active ingredients of your serum, day and/or night cream. According to the experts, our skin behaves like a sponge; when it is wet, meaning well hydrated, can be more receptive to active ingredients.

So, treatment lotions actually prepare the ground for the condensed ingredients of low molecular weight (usually contained into the serums) to go deeper into the skin. After that, your day or night cream seals and keeps the moisture in. The softening agents which are present in the composition of the skincare products, form a thin film on the surface of your skin preventing water loss to the environment. So basically, this is an intensive way of keeping your face hydrated, plump and glowing. The latest treatment lotions contain additional rejuvenating and anti-aging ingredients for an even more enhanced effect.
