How often do you moisturise?

My face twice a day (morning and evening) - my legs I do after a shower. I really should be doing everywhere more often as I have terrible dry skin. I love going for massages when they rub all the oil on 😅
 
I started to use moisturiser on my face when I was about 11 cos I was really into skincare and make up . I wore an spf on my face from being in my teens . Now I hardly have any wrinkles or sun damage but people think I'm much younger than I am.

I just use moisturiser on my face int the evening now. I get eczema on my legs so I put the blue nivea on them every day after a shower. I do my hands when they need it (often at the minute) ,I don't often do the rest of my body

Face twice a day. Body I try to do every couple of days after a shower if I remember. There’s always times where I’ve already got into my pyjamas and then cba to take them off again to do it 😂

My body only gets done when it feels or looks like it needs it. There's too much of it to do every day 🤣

Moisturizer my face every am and pm after cleansing and serums, I moisturize my body after almost all my showers/bath if I’m not too tired or in a rush as I have dry skin especially after shaving 🧼 🪒

my body only if it is dry (I guess sunscreen is not really lotion... is it). My face every now and then and my hands 10-20 times a day in winter time. I get super dry hands and even carry hand lotion in my purse.

Face - twice a day (sometimes 3 if I get dry skin)
Body - every time after a shower, so every day
Hands - every few days

I do get very dry skin though! I also go through body lotion extremely fast 😭

I do my body every day, after I shower. I keep the moisturizer in the shower so do it once the water is off. Sometimes twice a day. I live in a very dry climate.

Face, twice a day.

Hands, multiple times throughout the day.

Face - every time I wash it so usually 2 times a day but if I take my make up off straight after work - I'll moisturise again before bed.

Body - used to be every time I showered but I've been lazy during lockdown so its more once/twice a week instead. Working myself back up to every shower as I caught a peek at my dry ankles this morning and cringed!

Hands - hardly ever but really need too as they're very dry now due to anti-bac use. Bought a moisturising one which seems better.

Face in the morning and evening (although it still looks like I’ve neglected it).

Chest, arms, elbows, knees and feet every morning after a shower (I aim for whole body but... time... and then once a week when I do my hair mask blah blah I do a proper “all over” moisturise ha.

Hands. Gosh absolute minimum is once an hour! At work I always moisturise after I wash them (Nurse, wash my hands a lot) and out of work I am and have always been very obsessed with washing my hands and then popping cream on so it’s quite a regular occurrence for me. It’s quite exhausting! 🤭

I moisturise my body every day after a shower but I have very dry skin and if I don’t then my skin feels tight. I moisturiser my face each morning and before bed after taking off make up.

My word! Aren't you all very dedicated and organised. I moisturise my face every evening but just use serum in the morning as I don't need moisturiser in the a.m. However, my body only gets any attention when I'm feeling extravagant, which might be once a month at most, rarely gets any attention in winter. Feet get moisturised once a day or every two days. Hands get moisturised with any excess from face cream, serum or foot cream. I feel quite slatternly now, in comparison 😁
 
Genuine question, how do you avoid feeling ‘sticky’ after you’ve moisturised your body? This is what puts me off doing it so often

I think it depends on the moisturiser and your skin type.

To answer the thread at the same time as giving an example to answer your question: I have very dry skin. I moisturise every day after my shower in the morning, but I only use cheap £1 one from Sainsbury's and it doesn't make me feel sticky. I put it on as soon as I'm out of the shower and by the time I've brushed my teeth, moisturised my face and put on my deoderant, it doesn't feel sticky and I can put on my clothes. At night however, I use a heavy Aveeno moisturiser and it takes ages to sink in... and that's the cross I have to bear :ROFLMAO:

I honestly think it takes a lot of trial and error, unfortunately. In my many years of testing out moisturisers, I have found that E45 is pretty lightweight and sinks in easily.

I moisturise my face and body twice daily, in the morning I use a Vaseline spray moisture as can dress straight away but at night I use a body butter but put pyjamas on so is fine.
Hand cream as needed but with using sanitiser my hands are constantly dry
