Are you self cautious if you're wearing shorts, skirt, or a dress and forgot to wear lotion? And your legs are ashy + you don't have any lotion on hand - what would you do?
Back in the days when I went to College, rolling out of bed and driving 30 minutes to school... I sometimes don't realize if my legs are ashy! And, I have no lotion, no friends.
I just get water and wipe my legs for moisture 
But now a days if I forget, all well.

I stopped wearing lotions and most perfumes about seven years ago. I will just leave my legs ashy. I don't really care.

I am forgetful. When I went to school, I cared now - I don't either. I'll be ashy or not and still go in the store or wherever.

I do not really have that problem but the days that I did I would do the water trick. I feel sometimes that is better than lotion because lotion is too heavy for my skin.

I feel that some lotions can be heavy for the skin or isn't as absorbing!

@DesirousDreamer That is very good your skin is soft. The heel of my feet is not the greatest!

@infatuatedbby I am not crazy about lotions. I feel my skin is already soft. The only time I use lotions is when I am pampering myself, especially my feet. I cannot stand dry skin on the feed.

I do not really care about this, I guess I am always a "careless" person.
Moreover, I think I don't have ashy legs, or I don't really bother, and I am always lazy to apply lotion or oil, perhaps it's because I am staying in tropical country, I don't like to be oily.

My mom has pale legs. I have not pale but not too dark but you can tell they're ashy sometimes. I don't often wear lotion just when I go somewhere (if I remember)

Oils are nice. I use Jergen's lotions. If I don't have any I use oil. Even vegetable oil will work.

I learned new things ~ many recommend oil as a solution. I have coconut oil and will try that.

I always carry lotion in my purse because I get dry skin at times and it hurts.

I'm guessing this is a girl thing. I really don't worry about it.

One thing I can't live without. I always need lotion. I keep one inside my bag. Also, I apply some on my legs and arms after I shower at night, before I sleep.

I'm too lazy to apply lotion on my body lol! I'm using a soap that doesn't dry out my skin, fortunately.

I usually don't care. Only time I decide I don't want to wear something short is if my legs are hairy and even then it depends on if I give a hoot about who sees em
