Do you moisturise all over every day?

I don't have much time in the morning after shower as am busy getting everyone ready and then off to work.
All over body moisturising is therefore down the list of things to do. I've noticed how lovely & smooth lots of ladies skin is this summer whereas mine is not looking so great.

How often do people moisturise all over to achieve super looking skin, is every day essential?

I go through phases where I moisturise every morning after showering and (usually longer) phases where I really can't be arsed.

Yes. I never used to but started making an effort earlier this year and the difference is amazing. I usually use the pump bottle of Aveeno and it literally takes me a couple of minutes. Doesn't take long to dry or soak on at all. And as it doesn't smell I don't have any clashing smells with perfume.

And it totally got rid of bumpy upper arms too.

No, only my hands, face and elbows. If I use nice shower gel I don't feel I need to.

I don't. I had no idea everyone else did! Judging by this thread it seems like a pretty standard thing to do. I find it far too faffy.

I do wear makeup every day and spend ages on my hair, but body moisturising? Nope.

Every day.
Can't imagine not doing it

I have been using Neutrogen body oil for a while - very quick, you put a few drops on your hands, rub together and a quick swipe over arms, bust and legs. It is only greasy if you use too much.
It leaves the finest layer on your skin which doesn't taint clothes.
I always feel sticky with lotion but not this oil oddly.

I have dry skin and do most days, one day I may do my legs, then the next arms and upper body. I often use one of those oil sprays it doesn't take long to quickly spray and rub in after a shower.

Twice a day every day with four different products. My skin feels terrible if I don't do this, it takes no time at all though and my skin looks great.
