Today we are going to talk about body butter. They always tell us “you must drink water”, they also tell us “we are made of pure liquid”, the skin needs to be moisturized, let's drink eight glasses of water a day. Well… that's what they always tell us. We've all met someone who hates water, and no doubt barely takes a sip of water when taking medication. 

Myth or truth? 

Te cuento que mito no es… 

Our body is made of water, of which 20% is reserve water, which is found in the skin. The function of water is to produce sweating, the aesthetic part of the skin balances between water contributions (endogenous and exogenous). 

When water is retained, the appearance of the skin is flaccid, withered, wrinkled and peeling. When the skin is watery the reserve is less than 15% and when we talk about hydration we refer to the water that blood supplies to the skin, along with oxygen and nutrients. 

Now there is another type of hydration that does not receive it directly from the liquid. It is provided by lotions, creams, products made from water of plant or animal origin. 

But the real ones that are in charge of balancing the hydration of our skin are the ceramides. As the years go by, our body, skin, loses the ability to retain the liquids of the skin, and loses the cutaneous properties. 

Why use a Body Butter: 

Body butteror body butter, also known as body butters, are thicker, less greasy and much more natural creams that help with different skin problems. 

In addition, they have an intermediate texture, which, despite being fluid, can be denser and thicker, much more oily and is recommended for normal-dry skin or even very dry skin that needs a lot of hydration, such as heels and elbows. 

On the other hand, body creams and lotions are lighter, more liquid, and help eliminate dryness in the skin, but are usually very greasy.
