Emollients are fatty acid-containing lotions that replenish the oils on the skin surface but usually do not leave a residue on the skin. Humectants are the additives in lotions that draw out the water from the deeper skin layers and hold it on the skin surface. However, the water that is drawn to the skin is transepidermal water, not atmospheric water. Thus, continued evaporation from the skin can actually exacerbate dryness.
