Does anyone actually USE body lotion.

Judging by the big bag of out of date products I've chucked out tonight I obviously don't.

A couple of years ago I decided to cut down on the chemicals I put on my skin...so as these weren't natural...I just never used them

Not a lover of larding stuff on me after a bath.

I make my own face cream which is natural so would just use that.

So...are you like me..or do you use it?

I've got gallons of the stuff accumulated as gifts over the years. I seldom use it, unless I've just shaved my legs or if I've decided it will do as hand cream.

Yes. I use Eucerin products on my body, both to wash and to hydrate. My skin won't put up with products that don't moisturize.

Never ever. I hate the feel of it on my skin, I feel like I want to have another shower to get it all off again!

Always. Otherwise I'm all ashy. Richer stuff in winter, lighter lotion in summer. Tend to just use basic light smelling stuff - nivea or cien.

Yes at least once a day if not twice. I have very dry skin. I like Nuxe, garner oil, Aromatherapy Associates Enrich or Rose oils, Vitamin E balm by Jo Malone. It's my arms and legs I tend to do . Prefer oils and butters to lotion.

Yep the korres fig lotion as it backs up my philosykos perfume. Only on exposed skin though.
Agree all the loading of unecessary chemicals over time is prob a bad thing but I will take my chances.

After every bath or shower here. My shins in particular go really scaley without it.

Sit the bottle on top of the radiator when you get in the shower, warms it up a bit for when you get out.

I make my own face cream like Doobi. Have done so for about 18 months. I think I'll make more and just use it on my body.

It's nice. Sinks in and is natural.
The sun scorched bits could do with a bit of help.

I just don't feel drawn to all the lotions I get as gifts. Even sanctuary stuff which although has a nice smell is very overpowering.
