Really, I don't know why dudes don't like putting lotion on after a shower, feels great.
Anyone who's inspired, go ahead and get some neutral smelling lotion, then after you take a shower, rub that all over your body. You can do the face too if you don't have face specific lotion.
After I added this to my routine, my skin has felt and looked great.
I don't like the feeling of lotion on hair, which means it's uncomfortable to use it on my limbs, backs of my hands and feet, chest, stomach, and bottom half of my face. I'm not flexible enough to get most of my back, so I'd really only be able to use it on the top half of my face, my sides, my neck, and the palms of my hands and feet. At that point I don't think it's worth it. I do love having a tube of Carmex in my pocket to prevent chapped lips, though!
Cause it's all slimy. Ew
Maybe it's the autism but the last time I used lotion I made myself bleed scrubbing so hard trying to get it off.
I physically cannot handle shit on my skin. Soap, lotion, oil. Especially if it's sticky or tacky.
I mean I don't know you, so maybe it wouldn't matter, but the good stuff is built different. Like putting anything from a korean skincare store on your face is a completely different experience from the family-sized Walmart hand cream (their unscented one is not even all that bad tbh. But still a completely different experience)
And that's fair. I've only ever used the generic stuff you could buy at dollar general. I just don't have high hopes because if it leaves even the tiniest bit of residue it's like I want to crawl out of my skin.
I feel like moisturizing would be easier if I could crawl out of my skin 🤔
Totally recommend going to a fancy store and trying just a small sampler of the good stuff. Pick a spot that’s easy to scrub without damage, and just see if it feels the same.
If it’s a bad time, then you haven’t spent more than the cost of the commute, and aren’t damaging your skin to scrub it off.
I don’t even like having to dry off after a shower. It’s easier to put on boxers and air dry mostly after first patting yourself down. It seems to be a difference in ritual as much as grooming. Dudes don’t worry about their skin getting dry or hair splitting because the harshness of their lives or clothing keeps they’re dry skin exfoliated enough and they trim their hair before ends become a problem so they don’t have high maintenance hairstyles.
We don’t have to do as much preventative maintenance because we don’t worry about doing things daily
Yeah it feels so nice
