With the Malaysian weather, it can be easy for our skin to dry out, even if we’re staying home

Being in air conditioned rooms for long hours can lead to dry skin, and even something as simple as taking a long, hot shower can cause your skin to lose moisture.
Other than that, just because we’re indoors more often now doesn’t mean less sun exposure. With sunlight streaming in through our windows or the time spent in our gardens or balconies, our skin is still being exposed to the sun, which can also lead to dryness and dullness.
If you don’t take the effort to replenish skin moisture, it’ll be difficult for your skin to recover. This will leave it looking dull, instead of having that healthy glow.
Despite that, most Malaysians don’t have the habit of regularly applying body lotion on a long term basis. Instead, many choose to just apply when necessary.
However, for greater skin benefits in the long run, it’s important to apply body lotion daily, as it helps maintain your skin’s hydration levels by locking in moisture, keeping it healthy, soft, and supple.
Besides usually being less greasy than creams, lotions also have more water content, which is what makes it good for moisturising purposes. Not applying lotion regularly can lead to dry, dull-looking skin that will show signs of ageing faster.
On the other hand, benefits of putting on lotion every day include:
– Reducing skin dryness and flaky spots
– Slowing down signs of aging and keeping skin looking youthful
– Soothing itchy skin due to dryness
– Softening roughness
– Improve the appearance of dull skin
While many usually apply lotion after showering, a common mistake is drying off completely first or waiting more than 30 minutes before applying

Actually, you should put on lotion while your skin is still damp, but not wet. This is when your skin is most receptive to moisturising properties.
Applying lotion while your skin is damp helps to seal moisture deep into the skin, for better results. It also creates an artificial barrier that not only prevents water loss, but also keeps out bacteria and irritants.
