So this is a question for white people, I already know what we do. How often do you put lotion on your skin?

[Msputiton]

Also what does your skin look like when it gets dry?

Also which body parts do you lotion up, like arms legs, face. feet

[melanieeeB]

Nearly everytime after the shower
I use it on my whole ass body, just not my face I have extra face creme for my face
And my skin does look just dry when it's dry lol

[CheeseMonster]

I just use it when I notice somewhere dry. Usually just feet and elbows/knees. Often hands and arms/legs too in winter though, and sometimes face.

It can be hard to see unless it's really dry, then it's white in the lines or when scratched, but I can usually tell by feeling easier. It makes the dry skin sound instead of normal skin sound when you rub it.

[Wish4UrB00ty]

Haha! This is hilarious! My ex used to chew me out all the time for not using lotion enough. And I always loved her soft buttery chocolate skin because of how good she was about her lotion. I am awful about using lotion.

[Msputiton]

😡😡😡

[Wish4UrB00ty]

😂😂😂 no I know. I want and need to get better about it.

[Wish4UrB00ty]

Oh why did I have to get an MHO for this…🤦‍♂️😂🤣

[Msputiton]

Gag liked your answer 🤷🏾‍♀️

[Wish4UrB00ty]

Lol! I guess I mean I’m not composing but what?… haha!

[Poppymarie]

My skin is kind of continuously dry since I take really hot showers (bad, I know, but so comforting), but I apply lotion about once every other day. I usually do it right after a shower. Dry skin isn’t usually obvious on my body but it may get a little flakey if you scratch it.

[trinibaddie]

Not a white person here, but I had a white friend like 2 years ago who I asked this question to. She said "Why should I?" I was like WTF? I cannot live without lotion and body creams!

[Msputiton]

Exactly 😭

[cunnilinguist]

Not even sure what lotion is. Why would anyone want that? Sounds like just another needless chemical concoction to make yet another manufacturer rich. And what's this thing about dry skin? Anyone who knows what a proper diet is has no skin issues. Just a tip, pizza and diet coke don't help. LOL

[exitseven]

Okay_ I use Vaseline on the dry parts. Mostly in the winter. I just use a little bit. Mostly my hands because I wash them a lot but my fave can get dry ad well.

[Msputiton]

So you don't do preventive? It's more reactive?

[exitseven]

I do preventive too. If I am going snow shoeing or out clearing the driveway I put some on my face and hands. If I am wearing my heavy boots I will do my feet as well

[Sixgunsound]

I always figured having dry cracked skin in winter was part of seasonal change and deal with it. It is what it is.

[Msputiton]

Noo😭🤣

[SnowedIn]

Daily or every other day. Feet and legs and sometimes arms.

[Msputiton]

Good job. You can come out of timeout

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for being gracious.

[OfMiceandMen]

Yes, I use lotion, face and feet mostly to rehydrate these areas.

[Msputiton]

Daily?

[OfMiceandMen]

Yes, every night. My face is exposed to the elements a lot with my job and my feet are in boots covering a lot of miles/km.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I don't use lotion. My skin gets a chalky appearance

[Msputiton]

Yikes that looks painful

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Not at the moment.

[Bricealan]

Should do more than I do. Now only use Claritin-for men on my face

[Msputiton]

What about the rest of your body?

[Bricealan]

No, I don't but should for dry skin. Sometimes cortisone for allergic skin, but this is all

[Msputiton]

Gotcha

[LikeALog]

I used Dove for men in the winter. It has lotion in it and I use on my whole body except my scalp. Because I wash my hands frequently, they get a hand lotion throughout the year.

[gorydetails]

If my hands are dry in winter I'll put some on and after a lot of time in the sun, but otherwise, i never put lotion on my skin.

[Msputiton]

Oh often does your skin dry out? Abd kind more reactive care, instead of preventive care?

[gorydetails]

exactly. Only when it's like very low humidity in winter.

[Msputiton]

Gotcha thanks

[AviatorTom]

I rarely use lotion. Occasionally in the middle of winter, when it's really dry, I might use some lotion, typically on my back and legs; they get the most dry.

[stratford]

Only after shaving, and I only shave certain areas.

[Msputiton]

Don't your body get dry?

[stratford]

Strangely, no, only certain areas after certain activities.

[Charliefretz329]

Only in the winter or after working with certain materials. Skin looks the same once it’s rubbed in just less dry.

[Charliefretz329]

Usually hands only. Sometimes feet.

Rarely penis lol

[Msputiton]

Ok..

[Charliefretz329]

How often do you use lotion?

[Charliefretz329]

Oils work better in my opinion also

[Msputiton]

Daily

[Charliefretz329]

That’s most girls of every color i think

[Charliefretz329]

Y’all always dry for some reason

[Anonymous]

Whole body after shower every day, face and feets before going to sleep every night

[Msputiton]

Yass!

[Fuentes]

Lol I never thought about when another human puts on lotion hahahaha

[Msputiton]

And these are discussions we have on bus rides from games, or in locker room.🥴

[Fuentes]

Hahhaa the unasked questions I ain't ever thought about ever asking hahahaha all I rmbr is I got introuble once cause a girl called me ashy so one day I learned what it means for a white girl to be ashy noticing her skin was pink and prickly as a kid so I said it back to her "haha your ashy" but oh it was so ok for her to say it to me but when I say it I am being racist hahahaha but I hated my third grade teacher she always accused me of being racist hahahahhaha

[Msputiton]

People so dumb🤣

[Paulychicagoluv]

You dont even wanna know what it looks like on 1 spot. I do almost everyday

[Msputiton]

You can show me

[Paulychicagoluv]

Oh I will later. Just remind me tonight in dm

[Msputiton]

I want it baby oiled up🤣

[Paulychicagoluv]

I got this doctor prescribed cream and it's still not doing well

[Msputiton]

Oooh. You got a rash

[Msputiton]

I thought yoi wanted me to see your tan

[Paulychicagoluv]

How our dried up old ass cracking skin looks. I'll show the tan.

[Msputiton]

Lmao okay

[RavVid]

I have eczema on a finger so every day on that. Otherwise none.

[Anonymous]

Almost never.

When it gets dry sometimes it just feels dry to the touch but you can’t see it and other times you can see small white flakes.

[mstbooblover]

I never use any lotion, but on the other hand, listening to my doctor, I avoid staying exposed too long in the sun and nearly always wear a hat to protect my bald head.

[goaded]

Never have, other than creams for eczema on a hand.
