Can you use body lotion on face ?

Obviously its much cheaper but seems to have similar ingredients so I was just thinking of using it instead of face cream. Anyone any thoughts on this ?
Many thanks x

i do as long as you do the usual avoid the eyes ive never had any problems with using it and you are right it is a hell of a lot cheaper

As long as it's not too highly perfumed it should be absolutely fine. I'd do a little test somewhere unobtrusive to start with just to be on the safe-side.

I thnk it depends on your skin type, personally for me, it makes me super spotty after a few days of using body lotion on my face!! Though I do have quite oily skin at times anyway.

Should this not be on the health and beauty board for more responses ?

I do, have done for years and get great results with a simple but effective body lotion.

Just be careful about sun damage- Body lotion doesn't contain SPF whereas Face Cream (Day cream anyways) generally does. So if you do put body lotion on your face, remember to put some suncream on as well
