How are you supposed to lotion yourself?

That's assumed, what's debated is the position you do it in
A whole lot of y'all walking around with nasty ashy skin and it's sad.
Thank God I was born black lol

I had the same exact thing happen with an ex. Eternally thankful she set me straight with this shit, cause you don't realize just how fucked up your skin gets when the ash is just kinda hidden in plains sight.

I'd say it's pretty common among most POC in general. I'm a brown guy and I've always it daily since I was a kid.
I do get some funny looks / comments from white guys for carrying lotion around, which is usually when I whip out that Bill Burr video.
That film came out 31 years ago, too many whippersnappers round these parts.
Latino here, I lotion after washing up, though depression has been kicking my ass recently and I'm not taking care of myself as I should be lately.
I only really ever use it on my hands a couple times a day because my skin cracks otherwise. Everywhere else though is fine. Interesting to hear that having a darker skin tone can make your skin dry out more easily.
I'm not like morally opposed to skin treatments, or Beaty products for men in general, but I just never felt dry or ashy or whatever after I shower. It just never crosses my mind, but I know I hate sunblock cause how greasy it makes me feel. Is lotion significantly different?
The only other thing I can think of is having a humidifier in winter so my ENT areas don't dry out in the night. I live in Chicago area currently for climate. Is dry skin a climate related thing?
I actually haven't had a bath since I was like 8.
I should lotion myself after showers though, I have naturally dry skin.

Its actually pretty easy. If anything other people make it harder on themselves by not lotioning with their crotch in their face
Always wondered if this was why white guys' faces turn to leather.
Even Kratos would sideeye this shit gaaawd damn.Black people don't have that luxury. We out here all trying to avoid looking like Kevin Durant's ankles
I think that has more to do with their tanning culture than anything. Afterall, sundamage is one of the quickest ways to age your skin yet they still do it on purpose. The most bizarre thing ever. Like, literally go to tanning beds or lay out in the sun, doing.... Nothing. They have little to no melanin a lot of the time and just turn red/pink.... they've gotta realize how harsh they are being on their skin? :/
But yea , that plus a lack of moisturizer can do that I guess.

You're not seeing heaven for reminding me of this.
I usually alternate between standing and sitting on the bed. Only thing I really struggle with is getting my whole back moisturized.
Shit. Need to find my coconut oil. Fucking itching just looking at KD's ankles lol.
Whoooooo, I was feeling bad about my shit looking like a dry river delta lately, but this is next level lmao. Looks like Crocodile grabbed that shit.Black people don't have that luxury. We out here all trying to avoid looking like Kevin Durant's ankles

Please start using lotion, fellas. And yes, lotion after a shower is the optimal time to use it. You're supposed to dry off, but not all the way, and then lotion your body.
Even if your skin doesn't look ashy, it is. The soap and hot water is drying out your skin. Y'all got dry, ashy dick and balls.
Not only that but lotion will keep your skin looking younger for longer. This is partly why "black don't crack" and us PoC age so much more gracefully than a lot of y'all.
I keep my face and scalp moisturized
Also my arms cuz they're heavily tattooed

Climate is a factor, but the issue is mostly the detergents in soap. They clean by removing the layer of dead skin and oil from your body, but you need to replace that oil to protect yourself from drying out too much.
Sunblock, I have to shower off as soon as I get home. That stuff is far thicker, and much less absorbent: it's designed to be gloopy sunglasses for your epidermis. A good lotion for you (meaning a lotion that has the effect you want on your unique skin type) will feel moist rather than greasy, absorb very quickly, and leave your skin feeling clean, healthy, and thoroughly hydrated. I can't stand greasy lotion either, so I buy stuff that leaves me silky. There's no residue, just healthy skin.
