Do you where lotion, cream, or a body oil when you get out of the shower?
Proper moisturizing techniques is very important after showering or bathing. Remembering to not take hot showers, only warm showers, for 15 minutes or less is hard to do too. Water can dry the skin out unfortunately.
I like to use lotion and body creams.
I have used body oils before too. Applying body oil can be tricky. Apply too much and you are an oil slick for hours. When you apply body oil matters too. They say that you should apply your moisturizer within 3 minutes after showering. I have found that applying body oil while still wet in the shower before I towel off works
wonders.
Just a few drops of body oil on each body part is all you need. The water on your body helps to disperse the oil to moisturize your whole body. Then when you get out of the shower just lightly dab yourself off with your towel. And Wha La no oily greasy mess!
Using body oil is one of the fastest method to moisturize the body, so it is great for people who do not like to put on lotion or who forget.
The debate on which is better lotion or body oil still continues and it really amounts to which product your skin likes better. Body creams are usually more moisturizing than both body oil and lotion, because it much more emollient.
Hopefully you all have found moisturizing techniques that you enjoy!
Happy Friday Everyone!
