How often do you moisturise?

[HoGi]

Regarding hands, does anyone have any recommendations? My hands are screwed at the moment! I'm using the Lush one that's for nurses, but that's more like a barrier cream than an actual moisturiser.

Another vote for o'keefes working hands x

Check out O'Keefe's. It is amazing

Just soap and water, keeping it simple.

If I moisturise after shaving I get a rash so I just go bare

I always used to have this to.. Made my legs so red and itchy I found a body butter by a small company called kitenest and it can be used straight after shaving it's all cruelty free too but it's the only thing I've found to not sting or cause itching after shaving and a little goes a long way

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.

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.

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 use Garnier (green bottle) I find it soaks in quick and doesnt leave me feeling sticky.

What’s the best/favourite body moisturiser you’ve tried? Looking for a new one

 

[Zenchick101]

body once in a blue moon, otherwise it makes getting a wax a mess

 

[Lilliepad]

Face twice a day after the old skincare routine, body every time I’ve had a shower.

Culturally for me, this is the norm, if I didn’t moisturise every day I’d look grey on the plus side though every boyfriend I’ve ever had had commented on how soft my skin is (also make sure to use a body sponge/loofah/thingy in the shower and use an exfoliating scrub before big nights out)

For anyone worried about feeling sticky or greasy it might be just because you’re not used to doing it often but deffo opt for the lighter lotions and maybe use a little less - nivea is good for this (bottle not tub). I get eczema so I use aveeno and love it.

The only thing I found to be actually working is glycerin.

I have dry skin and all the hand sanitizers/washing is ruining my hands. I apply it at nights before bed when my hands are in dire condition (cracks, bleeding etc.) and within a few days it makes a serious difference. I don't find the feeling too uncomfortable but if it feels sticky, you can use those cotton mousiturising gloves after putting it on so it won't get everywhere. When my hands are cracked, all moisturisers burn the hell out of my skin so I can't use them until my skin is healed. Obviously avoid if you're allergic to glycerol

Face twice a day, body once a day

Same.

 

[Onecandream]

Face morning and evening
Use spf sun cream in morning and night cream and serum at night

Body....every few months

I overheard a conversation at work and now am randomly wondering if I’m weird I only moisturise my face and hands, once a day before bed. Never anywhere else! But apparently some do their whole body after a shower? Now I feel like I’ve neglected myself haha

Whole body after a shower and twice a day on my face and hands.

 

[Happy35]

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

 

[LaurieLaurie]

Face and body twice a day. Hands throughout the day.

 

[Dracojo72]

shower twice a day, in the morning I just use a body conditioner and in shower body lotion sti as I don’t have time to properly moisturise and wait for it to dry, still just use normal face moisturiser and when I have a night shower I do the same but also use lotion when I get out

 

[Ef27]

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 🪒

Multiple times a day I remember growing up in school and lots of my classmates had never heard of palmers coco butter or even moisturising. I’ll do my body once I’ve had a shower and any parts that start feel dry at any given time.

Palmers cocoa butter is my favourite, I’ve tried loads but nothing makes my skin feel as soft and it makes me smell like chocolate

 

[PinkandTwinkly]

Face twice or three times a day (depends on shifts but I'll always moisturise in the morning, pre make up but then often cleanse when I get home, so moisturise, and then again pre bed if my face needs it/if I'm using an actives.

Body AM after my shower. I don't sleep well we a moisturised body so don't like to after PM shower/bath

Hands. When they need it. Can range from a multiple times a day if it's cold ans skin is chapped and sore, to not doing it for weeks in the summer
