Also available as balms and creams, these products are designed to give the skin an instant feeling of warmth. Whether you’re braving the cool evenings or need a discreet way to stay warm during a formal event, warming lotions can help.
By applying a small amount on your skin, you can enjoy the much-needed warmth that comforts you in the cold.
These warming lotions may seem like ordinary creams until you apply them. These give a feeling of warmth and that particular part of the body starts getting hot. These are especially beneficial for cold-sensitive parts of the body, such as hands and feet, where warmth is needed most.
Are you also wondering how these creams produce a warming effect on your skin? Well, menthol and capsaicin are mostly the main ingredients in this case.
Warming creams contain special ingredients like capsicum extract, menthol or some essential oils which provide a warming feeling on the skin. These ingredients improve blood circulation in the applied area, resulting in a warming feeling in the skin,” says Dr Ruby Sachdev, consultant-aesthetic physician, Gleneagles Hospital, Bengaluru.
