Types of body sprays
Everyone knows how important it is to moisturize the skin from time to time. This is where body sprays come in. Not everyone knows about them, but meanwhile they give the body a light and natural aroma.
What is it needed for
Everything is pretty simple here. The spray is needed to moisturize the skin, it softens and tightens it. The difference from the cream in the method of application - the spray is quickly absorbed, leaves no residue and is convenient to use on the street.
The body spray has several different types, suitable for certain functions.
- perfumed. Not only moisturizes, but also has a light, subtle fragrance.
- Moisturizing. Gives skin hydration by increasing and retaining moisture. Often in such sprays there is Aloe Vera, which just helps to achieve such results.
- self tanning. Typically contains a bronzer to give your skin an even tan. Good self-tanning sprays always protect the skin from overdrying.
- Sunscreen. Such a spray not only moisturizes the skin, but also protects it from burns and the harmful effects of the sun. As a rule, such a product is sufficiently resistant to water and will not wash off, even if you decide to go for a swim.
- Refreshing. This tool is aimed at ensuring that you can freshen up in hot weather. It has a light, barely perceptible aroma.
- With shimmer effect. Especially for those who want something special.This spray will make your skin regain its natural radiance and luster.
- Deodorant. In this case, the scent of the spray is brighter and juicier, but still much lighter and more airy than an antiperspirant or perfume. There are many fragrances on the market to choose from. In addition, it moisturizes and gives the skin elasticity.
- antibacterial. It has a bactericidal effect and has recently appeared on the market. In addition to the moisturizing effect, it promises to take care of the skin and rid it of blackheads and acne.
Types and features of choice
There are many types of sprays for even narrower needs. Let's look at what these types are and what they are.
- Spray lotion. This product is distinguished by its texture. Since it's not just a spray but also a lotion, it has a more oily and less light feel to the skin. But it moisturizes much better, gives the skin a beautiful glow and beauty. The only negative is that such a spray cannot be sprayed before going to bed, for example, because the product may remain on the sheet or clothes.
- Spray deodorant. This is, in fact, the usual deodorant to combat sweat and odors. Its advantage is that it is quickly absorbed into the skin, and the disadvantage is that it sometimes has a rather strong and pungent aroma. Also, when choosing, it is recommended to pay attention to the composition - it is better to choose the one that contains oils and extracts of natural herbs, such as chamomile, mint and lavender. These components reduce all alcohol to nothing and take better care of the skin.
- With sequins. Gives the skin a glow, in some cases even adds real sparkles. The bad news is that this product is purely decorative - it will not provide moisture.
- male spray, in general, it is no different from the female.Unless the smells for men are sharper and less soft. It is used as a deodorant to eliminate unpleasant odors. If the spray is good, then it should not tighten the skin and glue the hair on the body.
- Antiperspirant. The huge difference between an antiperspirant and a deodorant is that the former holds the fragrance for a very long time and partially blocks the production of sweat, while the latter only covers the unpleasant odor, but you still sweat. Antiperspirant can only be used once a day, it has a long-lasting effect, even if you are active during the day.
- Antifungal. This spray is aimed at the prevention and treatment of foot and nail fungus. In addition, it gives a pleasant aroma that fights off unpleasant foot or body odor. As a rule, such a remedy contains antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Perfumery. What is the difference between this spray and perfume? First, the lightness of the aroma. Secondly, the price. Good perfumes are quite expensive and not everyone is ready to shell out for them.
Thirdly, the spray holds the fragrance much better than perfume, and with it you will enjoy freshness all day, while the perfume will disappear in a few hours. Perfume contains water, but not as much as sprays. Therefore, for the summer - this is the best option. Sprays also contain very little oil, which is why they do not leave marks on clothes.
- with pheromones. A substance of this kind is designed to attract the opposite sex. Those who used it noted a feeling of joy and even euphoria. It is better not to apply it on the skin too much and carefully watch which scent you choose - you or others may be allergic to some fragrances.
- flavored. Spray with a certain fragrance, as a rule, is also moisturizing.Designed to personalize you with some subtle scent and is not a substitute for deodorant.
- Cooling. This kind of spray is suitable as an anesthetic and relieves swelling. It is also often used after depilation, especially if the skin is sensitive. Such a product almost always contains menthol, which just cools, as well as caring oils. If the composition is natural, then this remedy can be used several times a day without harm to health.
- Emulsion anti-cellulite. As a rule, this kind of remedy is aimed at combating edematous cellulite, which forms on the body due to a decrease in microcirculation in certain areas. If you use the spray regularly, the skin will gradually smooth out.
