Can I use body lotion on face

barbie_babe

I seem to have loads of pots of body cream in my bathroom. I am getting feed up seeing them sitting there. I have given away lots of unopen tubs but have a lot still open. Can I use on face to use it up as I only use on hands and legs at the moment. Thanks

Depends on the fragrance and f there is glitter in them.


Try using it on you hips, buttocks and abdomen. Mine suck up a lot of body butter.

no glitter in them. Will try to use up in other places as you said. cheers

Face should be no problem if you keep clear of your eyes.


But what do I know? I'm a man.

Body lotion is likely to contain heavier ingredients and fragrances than facial moisturisers, and will possibly be comodogenic leading to clogged pores. Personally, I wouldn't risk it!

I wouldn't risk it personally in case it irritates your face! Could you re-purpose them as intensive foot creams (i.e. smother on, pop socks on and leave overnight)?

I wouldn't, personally.

Thanks i wont use on face

j.e.j.

I've not tried lotions but I have used a superdrug body scrub on my face, with no problems. In fact it was better than their face-scrub!

It really depends on the lotion, have a look at the label and see if they are ingredients you want to use on your face.

I'd do a trial and error, providing you don't have reactive or sensitive skin!

With me it's usually the other way round: I buy face creams but end up using them on my body, as they're too harsh or perfumed.
