After bath oils vs lotions

  Introduction  If you've ever wondered why your skin feels dry again just hours after applying lotion, you're not alone. Despite our best efforts to moisturize daily, many of us still struggle with rough patches, flakiness, or that tight, dehydrated feeling — especially in dry weather or air-conditioned spaces. But what if the problem isn’t your skin… it’s your skincare? In this blog, we’ll uncover why most lotions offer only temporary relief and introduce you to a more effective, lasting solution: after-bath body oils .

One sometimes disregarded hero is the lowly steam-distilled hydrosol, sometimes known as floral water.

While essential oils rise to the top, the remaining water is enriched with subtle plant compounds, creating a hydrosol. Unlike essential oils, hydrosols are mild, water-based, and safe to apply directly to your skin ...
