What is the benifit to using moisturizing cream on your face instead of body lotion?

Is there really a difference? My face is dry and my body lotion doesnt seem to help. Is that because I need face moisturizer stuff or just because my body lotion is cheap?|||Your face is more sensitive than other parts of your body, plus it is exposed to the elements (sun, cold weather, etc) far more than other parts. A specialized moisturizer is usually better.|||lotions do not have enough natural oils and butters but are mostly water but moisturizing cream should be rich but not greasy and leave yours skin feeling very soft.

try using Lubriderm (nonsented) it moisterizes your skin and is also good for the rest of your body.

In the winter, my skin gets really dry and the creamy vaseline protects my skin from the cold. Sometimes, I mix it with my moisturizer. It%26#039;s only about $3 a tube and it%26#039;s better than any department store cream or mosturizer.|||Body lotions tend to be heavier and have a tendancy to clog your facial pores. Also facial lotion has more vitamins and ingredients that specifically help your face.|||The skin on your face is more delicate than on your body, so body lotion should not be used on your face. It can dry it out, or cause clogged pores and pimples. Some people have had good results using plain vasaline or olive oil on their skin, but it clogs my pores and causes pimples. I use Olay during the day, and cleanse with cold cream at night. I also use an eye serum from Burts Bees.|||I have always used regular old St. Ives Vitamin E body lotion and it leaves my skin perfect!
