I use body oil and it certainly makes a difference compared to applying it at bedtime. Before the lotion or oil is properly absorbed, some of it would have been rubbed off in sleep. <font color="#990033"><strong>flym</strong>: Now that you mentioned it, that's true. I used to sleep straight after applying the cream on so inevitably, they're be on my bedsheet!</font> I agree absolutely that it’s best to apply body moisturizers right after shower when skin is moist.

I use shea butter for my feet and sweet almond oil for my face, both after showering. I wonder though what is a good product to put on the hair after showering to lock in moisture, that is the hard part for me, the frizzy little hairs that stick out like a halo from the rest of the hair LOL! <font color="#990033"><strong>cowsandlemonade</strong>: Frizzy hair is someting I haven't experienced. How about using olive oil?</font> That is a good point, I think with our feet and the face, it’s best to apply right after a shower/bath.

It helps to "lock" the moisture in. And also to replenish the moisture your skin lost in the process of drying up. Personally I prefer lotion to cream because of the runny texture. I'm too lazy to slowly rub the cream in. :P <font color="#990033"><strong>MisSmall</strong>: I know what you mean about the lotion.
