3, suitable for different skin types
The gel is suitable for all skin types. The texture of the cream is suitable for winter, dry and neutral skin and night use. The emulsion is suitable for summer and daytime use and neutral, mixed and oily skin.
Method for identifying emulsion
Emulsion can be divided into oil-in-water and water-in-oil dosage forms. The former is easy to be absorbed and refreshing, while the water-in-oil type is not easy to be absorbed, and it will feel greasy when coated. If you want to identify the emulsion, you only need a glass of water. First, take the emulsion the size of your fingertips and put it into water. Usually, the oil-in-water emulsion will float on the water surface, and it will slowly dissolve and become milky white after a little stirring. However, most water-in-oil emulsions will sink below the water surface and are not easy to dissolve in water.
Gel water: also known as hair styling gel water or hair styling gel water. The composition of this kind of products is similar to that of hair gel, mainly including film forming agent, conditioner, diluent and other additives, etc. According to the needs of product viscosity, the dosage is different. There can be a proper amount of ethanol in the diluent of gel water to reduce the viscosity of the product itself. The appearance of gel water is a transparent and flowing liquid. The liquid in the bottle can be pumped and sprayed on the hair by using an air pressure pump, or squeezed on the hands, and coated on the required parts of the hair to form a film, which plays the role of styling, moisturizing, conditioning and giving the hair luster. If a hair dryer is used, the styling can be accelerated. In order to reduce irritation, there are many products that do not contain ethanol, which are mainly used for conditioning and moisturizing hair to achieve a refreshing and natural hair care effect.
Function of cream: According to the different functions, moisturizing cream can be divided into moisturizing type and refreshing type. Among them, moisturizing cream is suitable for consumers with dry skin to help achieve the purpose of moisturizing. The refreshing moisturizing cream highlights the oil control effect.
