How are you supposed to lotion yourself?

Na I have never lotioned my body. My hands get extremely dry and start bleeding tho so I have to lotion my hands in the winter.
It takes 15 seconds to do whilst stood up. It's not like you're trying to wrap your foot around the back of your head.
I swear a good portion of this forums parents raised them like an outdoor dog feeding them nothing but junk food and no vegetables which is why their digestive system gives them instant diarrhea when eating taco bell and they lack all common sense when it comes to personal or household maintenance.
I only lotion my hands, and mostly just during winter when it's really dry.
I also just can't stand the feeling of lotion on my hands or chap stick on my lips or anything. Drives me fucking crazy. It takes all my willpower to not just instantly wipe that shit off, I hate it lol. Can't imagine having to apply it to my whole body every day.

Another portion of this forum posts the most condescending shit like this for no good reason.
Excuse my french, but what the fuck are you doing to get too tired after bathing that you simply lack the energy to stand up for 30 more seconds. You either need a high five if you're not bathing alone or a consult with a medical professional.
I often have old white men come into my place of work shedding dry skin off their cracked hands, sticky with that stuff that dry skin leaks that isn't blood, and I think "boy are these men not gay or women" as I gag while dusting their leavings off my counter.
However I am white, and I use lotion, because I'm young enough to not have to worry about doing sensible things that older people consider emasculating because reasons.
I often feel that way about certain lotions. You might just need to try a different one that better suits your skin type. I find Vaseline intensive care Dry Skin Repair (I don't have especially dry skin) is fantastic everywhere but my face. Absorbs fast, and just leaves my skin soft and clean.
Jews need lotion. Or perhaps just my line of Jews has the driest skin on earth. I use the stuff you can put on wet skin and then towel off. Sounds strange but it works great and doesn't feel greasy like a bunch of others I tried, like Aveeno.

I've never used moisturizer or anything. Average white guy fwiw. I know black friends used stuff when they were ashy, but I didn't think it was every daily. My wife uses stuff on her elbows for mild psoriasis.
The closest for me is making sure I'm well coated with sunblock if I'm gonna be in the sun for long.
Question is, how dry is your skin? Do you not lotion because your skin doesn't get dry when you wash, or because white men often don't consider using lotion despite the fact that it might improve their lives?
We will need high resolution photos of all your skin. You can blur out your eyes, but nothing else.
Try having some empathy for others. A lot of people with disabilities and/or neurodiversity have issues with showers. Taking a shower can knock me on my ass for several hours because of a chronic fatigue issue. Many people have intolerance to rapid temperature changes, the water pressure can cause pain, having the stress of the time limit to exert yourself to wash fully and quickly without wasting a bunch of water, stress of having a post shower routine that you might or might not be able to do without laying in bed for 30 mins+ to recover first, and there's probably a dozen more reasons that people find showers draining that I can't even think of right now.
I know that Era has a United States bias but I always consider the unsolicited "you're abnormal man, go see a doctor" post to be really rude because of the amount of money I've sunk into trying to get a proper diagnosis (that I still do not have yet btw). You never know what another person's situation is, how do you know OP hasn't seen a doctor for post-exertional malaise? I'll also add that post-exertional malaise is one of the symptoms of Long Covid, so a lot of new people might have it now or soon. It sucks!
I'm a basic-ass white dude and I do the lotion standing up. Just face, hands, arms, ass, legs, and the tops of feet get moisturizer because I tend to break out a lot on my torso if I put moisturizer on it. I do use a toner on my chest though.

As a white guy, the only thing I regularly put lotion on is my elbows because they get dry and cracked. But rubbing lotion all over isn't a thing I need to do.
but my best friend heard from their mom that their daughter's mom does it and it's the secret to perfect skin, and that doctors hate them for it
Lol, why do some people get kinda hostile over stuff like this?
So weird.
Anyway, I do it however I feel most comfortable at the time. There's a small patch of skin right in the place where I can't quite usually reach upper middle ofy back that I've got some yoga type positions I need to get into to reach, so it's kind of a mix for me I guess.

It's in the ballpark, it may not be on the field but it's somewhere in the stands
Whew! When my wife (white) and I started dating she did not lotion. Over time she got into the habit. Fast forward to this last visit to her family. "Thanks for convincing me to lotion." Her mom's skin was dry as FUCK. Flaking all over the place. Like she'd never heard of lotion in her entire 62 years.

...what?
I feel like there's way less discussion over this part than I would expect.

Fine, added
They often say bath time is the "brunch" of bedtime's "lunch"
I used to be this way but I found some in-shower lotion that you put on and then rinse off, its way less greasy feeling(imo) and it doesnt wipe off onto stuff like normal lotion. Works fine for me although its kinda slippery in the shower so tough to suggest putting on your feet lol
