Do you think it really helps to moisturize our skin?
I used lotion when I only remember to used it before sleeping. Sometimes when Im wearing dresses, skirts and shorts that my legs show I also used lotion.
Im not a type of person who is really a skin conscious but now I want smoother, younger skin. Like what Ive seen in some of my friends.
Can you help me to whitens my skin in a healthy way.
Thanks!
God bless!
Happy New Year!!

Professional is the brand your using? Wow your regularly using lotion since you were born? Now that Im a lady I think we must used it. We need it all the time. As we are growing we have to prevent sign of aging. What I heard is that we need to use different skin care to look more younger as early as your skin was young.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

Your so lucky to have a very good skin type. I've seen in your picture and it looks really healthy. Im also using make up. Slight make up for daily use and heavy make ups if theres an special occasions.
As I remember last time that I visited facial it cost a little for mask but the result is really great. Soft skin and with close pores. And I feel that my face appears so good in the pictures.
Happy New Year!!

I haven been using lotion for as long as I can remember and it has helped my skin stay young looking, my grandma taught me a lot about skincare and make up.
I went to cosmetology school and they taught me that the store bought lotions and skincare is not good for your skin so now I go to sally's beauty supply to buy what I need and this is open to the public as well and i learned weekly facials is good for your skin so I now do the facials once a week as well as use the facial Mask at least twice a month. I have had people tell me that I lood much younger than my age.

Hi,
Had I been you I would accept everything as they are. What looks count, the thing counts is the virtue and a really loving heart.
Actually my skin is oily. Therefore I need not apply anything during summer but in winter as our skin get dry and coarse it becomes necessity that we applied something on our face and body.

Exactly, with the flying of time our external beauty would fade down but the true heart would remain as ever.
AND YES LOOK DOES COUNT AND HENCE WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR SKINS AND OTHER THINGS.
Thanks a lot.

For me looks is also important. But what is more important is that we should have a good heart. Beauty will fade away after decades as we grow old but having a good heart will last forever.
We have a hot weather especially in summer. BER months are the cold times here. And I just seen my skin a little bit dry may be because its cold.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

Inner beauty is really important. But outer beauty is also important. As long as we are young we must take good care ourselves and as long as we do something for it the sign of aging delays.
Happy New Year!!

I use lotion whenever I needed to moisturize. I usually put lotion on my skin every after bath and washing dishes or laundry especially during cold weather when skin tends to get drier.
You don't need to whiten your skin if you have a tan or morena complexion. Using bleaching or any artificial whitening substances may cause damage to your skin. In order for you to have great skin at whatever tone you have is to maintain its being blemish free and glow. Love the skin you wear regardless if it is fair or not.:)

While you are still young, invest on a good skin. thus, it requires patience and a little work. LOL
I remember my German friend told me how he finds women with darker skin tone trying so hard to lighten it with those over the counter products. Their skin looks like hollowblocks which loses its glow and looks grayish.LOL

Yes as early as now e have to practice ourselves to use skin care. My mom grew up in the province so they have any idea that skin care is really important. As times go by we notice that even he puts lots of skin care its like nothing really change until now. May be because in her younger age she don't take good care of it.
Not really. Those products may help or not depend on the brand and what chemicals they used.
Happy mylotting!
God bless!

When I was in high school I regularly used lotion after washing my clothes, washing the dishes and after taking a bath. But now Im so lazy and I just forgot to use lotion. I only use lotion when I remember it.
I am now satisfied with my skin type and I accept it. I tried different whitening lotion and I think its not really works because nothings happen.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

I don't use a lot of skin lotion in the summer months. in the winter months, i use skin lotion quite a bit. My skin seems to be so mch dryer and in in need of moisture in the the winter time.

sender621- I also use lotion just when I remember it. Because each time Im using it my hands and feet are sweating I don't know why. I heard that it is also useful for our skin. We need to use it to moisturize our skin and not only that but to drink more water as it needed.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

julialynne- Yes Im only using Nivea sunblock when we have a swimming but on a regular days. Im so lazy to use it and sometimes I forgot bout it. Im already tanned so I still need to prevent my skin from the sun. What I want is to look whiter than my normal skin type. But all of the whitening I think is not really works.
They said that early in the morning helps to give nutrients for our skin. But not now as our climate are really bad for the health.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

I use lotion no matter what season is, summer you especially want to use a lotion or skin care product with sunscreen to help protect your screen from the rays of the sun, even though the sun gives our skin the vitamin A we need but can be damaging to the skin as well. I always use a lotion or moisturizers that has a 15 sun protector in it.

Hi dear,
I never use any lotions. I used to take bath in the morning and nigh and wash my face every 45 mts. 1 hr. time. It makes me more comfortable than using any such things.
Thank-s

Hi dear,
It is my daily practice that once I got up, immediately I take bath and in working days, once I come back from office, within 5 mts. I need to take bath. I used to it and otherwise I feel uncomfortable. Also, on holidays if I go out of home for anything, and comes back from outside, I prefer to have a bath and change the dresses. Especially, on hot days like May & June, I would do it 5-6 times a day and people at home used to say that you stay in the bath room only!!!
But what to do, I feel relaxed once I take a bath as we don’t have a swimming pool or something nearby. But it is good to use some lotions at the winter season if the skin is affected so dry due to the cold or bad climate.
Thank-s

Your so fun taking a bath 3 times a day. But I heard that if you take a bath more than twice a day the natural oil comes from our skin will dry up. You still need a germs or bacteria on your body. We've notice that the more that you are so clean the more that you get sick easily.
I think your so clean. It feels so good to take a bath and feel fresh anyway.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

Good day!

Can you tell me what brand of lotion your using? I just want to know what is the best lotion I am going to use. My mom's friend told me that Nivea is good. May be I need to do this to keep my skin moisturized and to prevent aging.
I heard that we don't have to use lotion in a day time because of sun exposure. They suggest to use sunblock.
God bless!
Happy New Year!!

I only used sunblock every summer if we have a swimming and exposed to the sun if not i prefer to use regular lotion. But I only used it when i remember.
Not all of the lotion I think is good for our skin. Too much chemicals are really bad if we will used it more often.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

to be honest with you, the only lotion that i use is only for my face... i am pretty lazy to take care of my skin and body even though i am a woman... that is terrible, isn't it??? i have to make effort to take a better care of my skin so that i can look younger longer... happy new year to you too... take care and have a nice day...

Me too, I only use lotion when I want it. If I remember to use it. My ritual is called for a daily skin care. I only put cream on my face after taking a bath and before sleeping. And now as we talk about I am now practicing myself to use lotion for my skin too.
I heard that to look good you have to take good care your skin and to yourself. That's why I learn to put make up and creams all the time.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

My whole body every day, my face twice a day and my hands every time I wash them. The very best tip for younger looking skin is to keep out of the sun as much as possible. I didn't do this, but my youngest daughter has and people are always commenting on her skin and how healthy it looks. As for whitening your skin, I take it you have a dark skin color and you want to make it lighter? In my opinion, don't. I doubt there is anything that is safe that can lighten your skin and besides, dark skin is nothing to be ashamed of. The main reason my skin is dry is because in my time, the darker the skin the better so I laid out in the sun. Now I regret it and I think those who have naturally dark skin are beautiful. Keep it, stay out of the sun, drink lots of water, and use moisturizers often. :)

Here in our country we have a very hot weather. This BER months are the lucky months because we have a little cold for a moment. But the summer days are the worst. That's why I plan to go to the other country next year to avoid the hot summer.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinion. Yes I am now satisfied with my skin type. What I only want to have a shiny and healthy skin.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!

Daiweian06,
I always forget to put on lotion after I shower, but that's when you're supposed to put it on, so that you can retain the moisture in your skin and prevent it from drying out quickly right after the shower. I always keep a little tube of antibacterial lotion in my backpack to use occasionally to clean up my skin and keep it moisturized. Putting on lotion after you wash your face is always a good thing.
If you want whiter skin, there are many ways you can achieve this with natural products. I heard that using milk to wash your face twice a day does the trick. Milk is a natural skin bleacher, and some like to pour some in their bath tub when they take a bath, to not just whiten their face, but their whole body. Using lemon juice is good, too, and works just like the milk. Put on sunscreen often to prevent your skin from getting darker, and put on plenty of lotion everyday.
Hope this helps!
Annie

After taking a bath what I usually do is to put some cream on my face. But using lotion is not part of my rituals. But now that I heard so much opinion about moisturizing the skin may be I can now use lotion daily.
I tried to use citrus to whitens my joints. Now im try my best to use lotion as much as I can.

Good day!

I use lotion everyday to prevent drying of the skin. I even apply facial lotion to prevent sun burn on my face that can cause more pimples as what i have read. I am not sure if skin whitening lotions are helpful to whiten skin, i have used one of those kind of lotions but it never was effective. I am good to have a fair skin maybe that's why it never made wonders to me. Try glutha soaps, they are said to be effect to whiten the skin. But be sure the soap has a good name to prevent skin damage. God Bells too and Happy New year (^-^)

Yah Im now practicing to use lotion everyday to prevent dry skin. I use face cream after taking a a bath. They said whitening lotion is on the mind. And nothings really effective except injectable and some expensive one.
May be staying at home is a good thing to do than to use any whitening lotion.
Good day!
God bless!
Happy New Year!!

I think what you need to do is to find a local store that carries products that are suited to your skin type. I am from the Philippines and we have a local HSBC store that sells good soaps and lotions to combat against skin dryness. As one ages, we need to use lotion more often especially when it is a cold season since the skin tends to get more dry or when it's summer when the sun it at it's hottest.

I think its HBC store.
Im using Dove soap and Im satisfied with the result. But lately I notice my face looks so dry even my skin. May be because of the weather. On the summer days I usually put sunblock when we have a swimming. I enjoy the little cold this BEr months. I can now use the blankets that I bought in Baguio.
Happy New Year!!

I can say that I forgot to use lotion after taking a bath. What do you think is the best lotion that I can use? I have a lots of brand that I know and tried before but I don't know what is the advisable to use.
Can you share your brand? Before Im regularly using Nivea lotion. My mom's friend suggest me about that.
Good day!

Your so conscious about your skin. Just like my sister who always put something on her skin each day. I'm a type of people who cant do this everyday I don't know why. I forgot to put lotion when I go out. Then I just remember to use lotion each time that I feel to do my rituals.
If you had a very dry skin also you have to drink more water. It helps to improve your dry skin.
Good day!
Happy New Year!!
