Lozione

Lozione is a term of Italian origin that translates to "lotion" in English. In a cosmetic and dermatological context, lozione refers to a liquid or semi-liquid emulsion, typically containing water, oil, and active ingredients, designed for topical application to the skin. Lotions are generally thinner than creams and are intended for moisturizing, cleansing, or delivering therapeutic agents.

The primary function of a lozione is often hydration. By creating a barrier on the skin's surface, lotions help to prevent water loss, thereby improving skin softness and suppleness. They can also contain ingredients that soothe irritation, reduce redness, or treat specific skin conditions. The formulation of a lozione can vary widely depending on its intended use, ranging from simple moisturizers to specialized treatments for conditions like eczema or acne.

Lotions are applied by rubbing them into the skin. Their lightweight texture makes them suitable for larger areas of the body and for individuals who prefer a less greasy feel. They are a common component of daily skincare routines and are available in a vast array of products for different skin types and needs.
