How are you supposed to lotion yourself?

[Deleted member 5865]

You know when you come out the bath, your skin is dry and you go to lotion yourself? How are you supposed to do it?

Personally I feel like its so much easier to lotion while lying down. As a kid I remember my mom getting on me for doing it but I mean doesn't everyone get tired after bathing? Its annoying to stand straight and go head to toe and it will never not be annoying

Pic of how it should be done:

Who the fuck is laying down? Are you that inflexible?

Sensually.

Just empty the whole bottle of lotion into the bathtub and roll around in it.

I can touch my toes and still want to lay down

Also my skin is dryer than Ben Shapiro's wife so maybe I should genuinely take advice from this thread.

 

[EssBeeVee]

we have a tub filled specifically with lotion thats actually heated so it has a better consistency. every morning we jump in there.

 

[mbpm]

Any way as long as you do it or you get the hose

You can properly lotion the bottom of your feet standing up? You stay balanced on one foot for ages? Or do you just stomp back down on the floor with your lotiony foot to lotion the other?

Sounds like a good way to get your sheets dirty.

Nothing in this thread says you can't sit down to lotion your feet.

 

[ResetEraIsTheBestEra]

if you lay down + body lotion + body reaction = ?????

uuh you might need another quick shower after that so standing up is the right way

 

[inner-G]

It rubs it on the skin

I can't imagine having to apply lotion to my entire body every day. Do you have to reapply as the day goes on too?

Why would I be putting lotion all over myself after a shower to begin with?

Just have to think about other people and their skincare routines.

You don't lotion? Doesn't your skin get all dry and ashy? And certain parts you re-apply. You don't necessarily have to.

Because if you're black, your skin's gonna get ashy and cracked real fast.

After a hot shower, your pores are open and absorb the lotion most optimally.

EDIT: Actually, I appear to be wrong.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, "Applying moisturizer after a bath is absolutely key because it provides an artificial barrier that can help prevent water loss and also keep out agents bacteria, viruses, and irritants that we don't want to get into the skin. After a bath, moisturizer should be applied very quickly. Before applying the moisturizer, we like to gently pat the skin but leave the skin feeling damp so that we're not totally stripping off the moisture that we get from the water."

As someone who suffered with some severe psoraisis it sucks and I had do it twice a day.

i never lay down like the OP, mainly because I also had to put it on my back. I would usually do it sitting on my bed after a shower.

Do non-black men lotion? I remember growing up and my white friends always said lotion was for girls.

Why would you want to do that? Clog the pores post shower?

Then taking this stance to its logical conclusion, you agree laying down to lotion up is valid, got it

Hispanic here. I'm pretty consistent about it after my showers at night.

 

[pizoxuat]

I voted laying down because standing is for fools, but I generally sit on the edge of the bed rather than actually laying down.

I posted an edit, but the gist seems to be you want to use the lotion to trap the moisture in your skin so that the dry air doesn't cause it to evaporate away something something science???

Laying down with your feet in the air is a whole different thing than sitting down to lotion your feet in my mind, but anyone is welcome to do it how they like.

I couldn't say. My body makes its own lotion.

 

[Eidan]

Just put your foot on something, like your bed, while standing, and lotion that way. I can't imagine how someone would think of laying on their back before thinking of just elevating their leg.

 

[IDreamOfHime]

With my eczema I sit on a chair reverse and throw my arms behind my back to lotion between my shoulder blades, otherwise that area dries like the Sahara. It's a nightmare and I dread someone actually catching me do it, haha

I miss having someone to do it for me, lol

I simply stand up and bend over

I've heard that dry skin is worse for darker skinned people? Dunno if that's true.

I use moisturiser on my face, I assume that's what lotion is. But that's the only area that dries out.

I'm a white dude with soft skin that barely needs to lotion (almost never). I do know some white dudes that need to lotion daily though. Seems to be a person by person thing.
