Frequently Asked Questions About Body Lotions

1. When Should You Use A Body Lotion?

There is no recommended timing for body lotion application. You can use your lotion any time, but moist and warm skin (like after a shower) is the best canvas for maximum benefit.

2. Should Body Lotion Be Used Before Or After A Shower?

After a shower is the best time to apply body lotion. Just pat your skin dry and apply a lotion immediately after that to keep the moisture locked in.

3. How Often Should You Apply Body Lotion?

Nourishing your skin with a body lotion once every 24 hours is recommended. But if you feel skin dryness, you can repeat the application more often, depending on your specific need.

4. Can Body Lotion Be Used Everywhere On The Body?

You can use body lotion everywhere, except on your face. While it’s ok to apply body lotion on your face once in a while, don’t make it a habit. The skin on your face is different and much more delicate and thinner than your body. So, it needs different care regimes.

5. What Body Areas Should You Avoid While Applying Body Lotion?

It is always better to avoid sensitive areas like around the eyes, inside your mouth or nose, and the vaginal or groin area, unless the label on the lotion or your doctor directs you otherwise.
