When to put on hand lotion?

[MetzFan]

Should I put it on immediately after a shower? Or should I wait until I'm totally dry?

Thanks.

Apply lotion or cream before you leave the steam-filled bathroom. This is the best time to moisturize your skin because your pores are still open and your skin is still moist.

I like to drench my skin with lotion right after getting out of the shower.

Definitly when you come out of the shower so alll the active ingredients penetrate deeper into your skin. Also, anytime after you wash your hands because they get so dry from the soap.

Everytime I wash my hands I reapply hand lotion. Wash, pat dry, apply lotion.

Remember to put them on after you just get out of the shower ..within the first 2 mins ..for better absorbtion! Yes you can dry off first. When you are still damn like ..not totally dry. If that makes sense. DHC has some products for the body I'm interested in trying out!

I put lotion on straight after i come out of the shower.

And i put on hand cream every time i wash my hands as it locks the moisture in.

I apply handlotion after my shower before I go to bed. You can apply it anytime your hands feel dry.

Mary Kays Satin Hands Cream smells great and works really well!! The emollient is good too for really dry skin!!

I agree, this is a great cream.

I agree. Satin hands works wonders on your hands!!! I also like tha Mary Kay body lotion from the timewise collection.. My skin is very dry and this lotion keeps it smooth and supple all day.. I also put my lotion on right after i get out of the shower because that is when your skin is most succeptable to hydration!!

Apply it as soon as you can once you're out of the shower.. I've also heard applying it at night & then wrapping your hands in light cotton gloves leaves your hands silky smooth in the mornings!
