Face moisturisers are lighter, water-based, and specifically designed to balance your skin’s microbiome and pH level. They usually contain humectants like hyaluronic acid or glycerin that pull water into the skin, plus a light barrier of squalane or ceramides. Body lotions skip that delicate balancing act entirely.

If you’re on a budget, please just buy a drugstore face moisturizer—CeraVe, Vanicream, or La Roche-Posay have options under $15. Your face will thank you, and you won’t wake up looking like a glazed donut. Trust me.
