Lotions

What is a body lotion?

A lotion is a topical preparation, applied to the skin with bare hands or cotton wool, with the intent to moisturize and/or treat the skin.  Most body lotion s are meant to simply keep the skin soft, smooth and healthy, but they also can have anti-aging properties and contain fragrances.

 

How often should you use hand lotion?

It is perfectly appropriate to use moisturizing lotions or creams on your hands throughout the day, after washing and using hand sanitizer.  It is especially important to use it right before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning.
