Does anyone actually use body lotion?

[Babyhiccups]

I've got the usual Christmas smelly sets from in laws, grandparents and one from a friend. They're all lovely and I appreciate them as presents as I do use the contents....but never the body lotion.

This means I end up with drawers full of the things, because I have all good intentions of slathering myself with the stuff after every shower, but I can just never be bothered.

Am I the only one who wishes they'd just put two shower gels in there instead?

After every shower/bath.

Every day.

Use lotion morning and night as I have eczema all over my chest, stomach and back. Christmas can be a pain though, I have to very explicitly ask people not to give me any body products because I have reactions to lots of things, increasingly to sensitive skin products I've been using for years. As an alternative one relative gets me Lush vouchers because I can test their stuff out in-store and find a couple of their products really helpful for managing my skin.

I don't like the sticky feeling after applying it & fragranced products bring me out in a rash so I don't use it.

I don't use it, I never think of putting it on.

I used to hate body lotion as a gift. As I get older, I use it more and more. My skin seems drier and body lotion keeps it feeling nice. You're just too young for it - yet!

Never , and skin is fine without it.

Give the stockpiles to charity.

Yes but no one ever buys me any

Pretty much every day.

I have an annoying combination of oily skin on my face but the skin on my body gets dry and itchy. I love good body lotion.

You lucky thing, I get fed up buying it, I use so much. I'd love to have drawers full.

Use it every day...sometimes twice a day

No, hate the stuff. I can't stand feeling sticky or putting cold lotion on.

I now do after years of not. Think my skin requires it now (it's my age)
I use 2 brands (one is an oil by L'occitaine which is amazing on my dry skin).
I can notice the difference. Especially round my neck area

Never.

I use SLS free shower gel and no longer have dry skin (With SLS I am beyond dry skin and have full on ezcema). Life is too short to be faffing about with body lotion.

Occasionally put a bit on my legs after shaving and that's it

Me too and only if I remember.

Just vwait

yes, I need it on shins and elbows to stop me from cratching them bloody. I don't slather all over though, hate that sticky feeling when putting my clothes on.
I prefer certain brands but my lovely uncle got me a really luxurious one that I would never usually buy for myself.

Just wait until you reach 50 you'll need it

Every day without fail.

I don't have particularly dry skin, but once you're in the habit of using lotion every day, you quickly feel dry and scaly if you stop.

Yup 50+ here and my skin is loads better if I use it. I only use unscented or stuff that doesn't fight with my £££ perfume

If anyone who uses body lotion would like to pm me I'll send you some in the new year, I'd much rather someone was making use of it :)

On a slightly different subject - does conditioner work? I use it because I got nagged by colleagues a few years ago but I still have split ends. The only difference I notice is that my hair is easier to comb after I wash it

Well you need to do more than just condition it, like get it trimmed regularly?

Every day. Save them until the menopause hits with the dry skin!

Rarely. It gives me spots / blocked hair follicles.

The only difference I notice is that my hair is easier to comb after I wash it
yes, and it prevents split ends because you don't need to pull it.
it cannot mend split ends, regular haircuts deal with that.
