    Default My skin is sucking up lotion like crazy!

    I've been tanning and I also live in the desert where the air is super dry. I always put lotion on when I get out of the shower but lately its not enough! I had to put lotion on before AND after I went tanning today.

    Do you think its possible I'm using TOO MUCH lotion?

    It depends on what kind of lotion you're using...

    I use Curel, and I have no need to reapply throughout the day. But I've used some lotions that just 'soak into your skin'--oftentimes, these lotions aren't actually helping your skin. I've put on some lotions that make my skin actually feel drier than it was pre-lotion...

    Maybe you should just try a different lotion?

    The word 'lotion' is starting to look funny to me. Haha

    I love banana boat after sun lotion .... it's super moisturizing and doesn't feel greasy and I never had to reapply. although it's relatively humid here.

    I would try switching up lotions but it very well could be the dry air and tanning.

    Try drinking lots of water. It will help to hydrate you from the inside and help with the skin in time!

    As TOH said, water is key.

    But also make sure that you are buying good lotions. The very popular, yummy smelling lotions are usually loaded with alcohol and do in fact dry your skin more in the long run so make sure to check the labels.

    Choose a lotion or cream with hyaluronic acid/hyaluronan as one of its top ingredients. Cerave makes one and can be found at Rite Aid. Hyaluronan is found naturally throughout your body and has a high affinity for water so it should keep your skin more moist. Interesting random sidenote: hyaluronic acid forms the basis for injectable fillers such as resty.

    LSM, I bought the Cerave Moisturizing Cream and I notice a huge difference in the way my skin feels in just a few days. Thanks!

    I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find the perfect moisturizer/lotion and this is it! It's not greasy, it absorbs quickly, and my skin seems much softer and supple. And it's less than $15!

    Gawd! I will try that too. Ever since I moved to Vegas no lotion has been good enough.
