I do not think it is vanity. I think it is good sense. You take care of your skin and it will take care of you. Your skin is the largest organ in/on your body. Believe me to apply lotion on your body is a smart thing to do because if you get pregnant your skin will not have streatch marks because it is in good condition. So you take care of your skin.

Glad to do it. My Mom taught me at a pretty early age, about taking cre of my skin. I try to pass these important things on to others. I'm glad it helps.

Well before going to sleep, I wash my face, brush my teeth,but no I do not apply any lotion. I feel this habit of yours is good and I will also start that as my feet are very rough and dry, otherwise I have very oily body and do not need any softner.Good you started this discussion at least today I will apply something on my feet.

Well, I applied lotion sometimes lol.. before going to bed. But most of the time, I am lazy to do that. I just clean my face and then go to sleep specially if I am spending too much time online? I just climb to bed without doing the rituals. But yes, I feel fresh when I can have my half bath and then apply lotion to my body before going to bed.

I do apply lotion before going to sleep if my skin really feels so dry. Besides that it smells so good also when you apply, it also helps to nourish skin. I do have another type of lotion but only applicable for avoiding insect bites, a mosquito repellent lotion. But if i am so vain for the day, i put lotion more than three times, every time i wash plates, wash clothes, after taking a bath, before going to sleep, then this are the times i would use my lotion a lot.

I have heard about the mosquito repellent lotions and this really helps to protect the skin against mosquito bites and any other diseases that is brought about by mosquitoes. It really feels good if you take care of your skin. At times i feel shy to hand shake if my hands has callous for it is so rough and to prevent this from happening frequent use of lotion really helps.

Hi, kenchiprincess. The only time that I will apply lotion to my skin is if I have had a bath or a shower. I don't just apply lotion to my skin without washing first. I like to be clean when I apply lotion to my skin.

Yes, I apply a body lotion after taking a half-bath.Lotion is a good moisturizer and can help regenerate skin cells while we are sleeping. It can help a lot in giving our skin suppleness and smoothness.

Yes I do apply lotion particularly to my hands and feet. I rarely apply it on my body as I don't like the greasy feeling. I'm vain when it comes to my face though. I rarely go to sleep without putting on some face cream and petroleum jelly to my lips.These have been my habit since college.

I definitely use moisturizer and oatmeal soap. Aside from making me smell good, it gives me a refreshing and clean feeling. Applying lotion is also part of my daily routine. Its really nice knowing that people are rally into proper grooming!:)

ever since my skin started to dry especially in my leg area, i then started to apply body lotion before going to bed. then applying petroleum jelly on my feet helps soften it.

I never like to apply body lotion, even it before im going to sleep or after shower. I apply it only when i look that my skin is so dry. When i use body lotion, my skin is so oily. And i be sweaty easily. I dont like that feeling. I have tried many brands of body lotion, but i think there is no brand that is appropriate for the type of my skin. To keep my skin to be healthy, i always use scrubs. In my country, there are many traditional scrub that can make our skin look healthier, clean and beautiful.

Heheh. It's not way for me, kenchiprincess. I do once in a while apply lotion especially around this time when it's cold and my skin gets all dry so I do. But I mostly do it after a shower or after I've been washing my hands numerous times a day.

In the morning before I dress and at night before I sleep. It just makes me feel better and more at ease.

I apply lotion daily after drying up from a shower but I apply feet and hands lotion before going to bed. I need to make sure that I do that cause my hands and feet get dry very easily during the day. If I have some extra dry skin under my feet I use Burt's Bees foot lotion. I also apply it on my elbows. It does absolute wonders!

I just take care of my face twice everyday, in order to make it not too dry and feel OK. I don't apply lotion to the body before going to sleep. I think I am a lazy woman on this.
