Non important poll about lotion.

[k3am]

Do you use body lotion daily? (Lotion, cream, oils, whatever, I’m considering them all lotion tonight)

[erbear]

I have skin but I chose SS. I use hand cream but never body cream.

[mala]

Yes. Specifically an oil-based hand balm. Saves my skin from getting nasty in the winter. Also great on Little Kid's eczema. I'll use it on my legs when they're really dry, but not daily.

[mcmel]

I slather Aquaphor on my hands and then wear cotton gloves every night.

[sadlebred]

Does 5 of 7 days count for body lotion and face lotion. Inevitably about 2 nights/week I am just too lazy/tired.

[sofamonkey]

I’d like to, but I’m forgetful as fuck. I have been good about reminding the kids and helping them work it into their routine, and I’m doing better, but I still forget more days than I remember. :/

But I DO have skin! Lol

[dexteroni]

Yup. Face lotion every morning and night, body lotion after every shower, and hand lotion throughout the day as needed.

[thejen626]

No, only in the winter. I have a thick Eucerin lotion that I have to use daily in December/January. The rest of the year, my Dove body wash is moisturizing enough.

[sandandsea]

No. I use face lotion daily, body lotion maybe once a week, but moisturizing body wash daily.

[sakoro]

Not in my current location but when I lived in Washington DC I had to lather it on constantly during the winter. Something about waiting outside in the cold for the bus and our ancient heating system did not agree with my skin.

[starlily]

Yes. Facial moisturizer and body lotion daily, and I use hand cream every time after I wash my hands.

[sdlaura]

I always use it after a shower. So almost everyday but every once in a while if I don’t shower that day - then no.

[wanderingback]

Yes. I do not want to be ashy.

[gummy]

Head to toe every single day.

[cville]

Yes. Head to toe. Every day. I add a body oil in winter too.

Sometimes I even reapply to my legs and arms at night.

I'm cuckoo for being properly moisturized and ash-free.

[heygrey]

Excluding face/hands/sunscreen - I put moisturizer on my body a few times a week in the winter.

Face cream is every day.
Hand cream multiple times a day during the school year. I wash my hands frequently at work and my skin pays for it, but I am rarely sick!
Sunscreen lotion daily and often multiple applications in the summer. I spend a lot of time outside.

[cville]

I would like to add that I was a swimmer a long time. Which is murder on skin and hair.

I will never forget when a girl in the locker room after practice was like "you don't have to be all flaky and your knees all gray if you'd just use lotion." I don't remember if she said so in response to something I said or not, but it was revelatory to me. Even though I remember my mom using lotion. I think I thought it was for adults.

I walked my 12 year old self to the grocery store and spent my normally reserved for wet n' wild nailpolish and lip glosses cash from babysitting gigs on some Jergens. And Ultra Swim shampoo.

[basilosaurus]

If something feels dry I put lotion on in its skin before I get the hose again. Otherwise I don't think of it.

No one should emulate me

[Nonny]

Face lotion yes, usually twice a day. Body lotion really only on my legs and feet in winter, and upper arms/elbows after doing a scrub.

I really need hand lotion multiple times per day, but I'm not good about applying it.

[mrsukyankee]

Face, twice a day. Body, try to do regularly but forget and should do daily. Hands, more regularly, should do daily.

[basilosaurus]

Well thanks to this I just put on some hand lotion.

I guess I'm safe from future skin suiting.

Mentally I think I'm scarred from acne years that persist into my middle ages

[joy]

I have the driest skin. I have to put lotion on immediately after washing my hands or they feel like they’re cracking. I also hate touching things with that dry skin. I have lotion at every sink in the house, at my desk at work, and in my purse.

[starburst604]

Yes head to toe year round. I use a combo of Neutrogena sesame oil and lotion right after showering on my body. I would crack and fall apart if I didn’t. Face lotion morning and night, and aquaphor with socks on my feet a few times a week. Hand lotion every single time after handwashing.

I’m getting itchy from you people who don’t use lotion daily!

ETA I acknowledge that I probably need so much lotion of because I like my showers the approximate temperature of the sun.

[momin2013]

Once in a while I might put some on my legs if they’re dry and I’ll put some on my feet after I give myself a pedicure, but on the rest of my body - never. I’m sure my skin is dry but I just don’t like the feel of lotion on my body.

ETA: I’m not itchy!

[fivechickens]

I don’t as much as I should but yes I use lotion most days.

I have eczema on my hands so use Vaseline on those spots and it works really well.

[devonpow]

In the winter, yes. Right after I shower. Summer, no.

Hand lotion a million times a day this time of year!

[expectantsteelerfan]

In the winter I use body lotion...I get itchy winter skin, so I use a Curel 'itch defense' body wash and 'after shower lotion' on my legs and stomach. I use hand lotion year round, but more in the winter (not sure if you were considering just hands 'body lotion' but I use CeraVe for my hands).

[twilightmv]

I said yes, but I'm not quite daily. Almost daily though.

Not even optional over here lol.

[Pilsy]

"I don't have skin." lol


After I shower, I put it on my legs, arms, and face. In the winter, I'm apt to use hand cream throughout the day. And at night, I often use face lotion again.

I don't like lotion on my feet (though they could use it), and I don't usually bother with my torso unless I have a patch of dry skin.
