How Often You Should Apply Body Lotion, According to Dermatologists

Summary: TikTok users are currently debating whether applying body lotion every day is actually necessary or just a waste of time. According to dermatologists, lotion does a lot more than give you that trendy "glazed donut" look. It actually protects your skin barrier, keeping moisture in and blocking out dirt and pollution that cause aging.

If you have dry skin, live in a cold place, or take hot showers, daily lotion is a must. However, if you have naturally oily skin and live in a humid climate, you can skip the daily routine or switch to a lighter gel. The bottom line? Don't wait until your skin is flaky and itchy. Experts say you should treat moisturizing like brushing your teeth—a daily habit for long-term health, not just a quick fix for a problem!
