Moisturising all over

[imnotkeithlemon]

I try to do this every morning after my shower but I'm not really sure what it achieves given that I don't wear any clothing that exposes and skin. What am I doing/achieving by doing it?!

I do this every day too and have done since I was a teen - I know it is only for me but everyone who ever touches me (I mean friends who touch my arm or hubby (DH) or kids) mention that the most amazing thing about me is my soft skin (and I am 50!!!). Before I was married, every boyfriend commented on it - I always assumed everyone had soft skin, but apparently mine is in a different league. I'm sure yours is too.

Have you tried not doing it?
I have and my skin gets dry within a few days and flakes on my clothes in an attractive manner.
