    Can anyone here attest to cellulite removal lotions?

    That said, I use Bath & Body Works. For now. :)

    EDIT: Just noticed this is an oooold thread! Great! My question still stands. Cellulite removal, anyone?

    I like using Unconditional Love firming lotion by Philosophy some days. Most of the time lately it's been Beauty Without Cruelty''s Extra Rich lotion. That one is quite moisturizing, nongreasy, and it isn't scented so it's work appropriate (I work around men with allergies).

    Aveeno. Kiehl's also works miracles if you have the budget for it. Can't be walking around looking ashy now can we? :D

    I love the feeling of smooth, soft, moisturized skin. I lotion myself every night after my shower. I have used it all. My faves that are very moisturizing are Lush's Charity Pot. Hands down #1 for me. Just discovered Soap & Glory body butters, these are awesome as well. U can use Ulta coupons on these. Always liked the Body Shop Body Butters. Blueberry is my fave. If I'm buying from the drug store, Cetaphil in the tub is good. Can also use this on your face.

    Who knows?
    Also, poor cetyl alcohol...it's just an emulsifier/emollient.

    This is exactly what pops into my head everyone I see the thread title. OP, I rarely use lotion, unless I'm looking flaky or feeling itchy. I'm just too lazy to bother.

    I know this is a zombie thread, but I can't resist posting this video - it contains singing, a Grease parody and common sense. What more could you want?

    I'm picky about how things feel and smell. I use Curel fragrance-free lotion. No smell and soaks right in. For dryer patches, I like Gold Bond with shea butter. Smells nice and extra moisturizing.

    I can't exist without moisturising after a shower, I feel like Cassandra:

    Yeah I know ... zombie thread ...

    But ...

    Which body lotion do you use?

    None.

    Absolutely not.

    No way am I putting all that goop on me. I do not want to go through my day feeling greasy and horrible and itchy and icky. I have never liked lotion.

    Palmer's Cocoa Butter. Both the really thick greasy stuff in the tub (for elbows and feet and such) and the bottle with the pump. It's the only lotion that's ever helped with my extremely dry skin issues (I get rashes and my skin gets these really painful cracks if I don't moisturize every time I get water on my face. Good times.) Plus, it smells awesome. :)

    ETA: Dang it, I didn't even notice that this thread had risen from the dead.

    I dont mind lotioning the stems if Im wearing shorts,summertime,etc.

    But I feel you. You know whats equally as awful.
    Shower, shave, lotion- then dressing- even in pjs or wrapping in my robe.
    Heebeejeebees to the max.
    No matter how long I wait - let it dry- blah blah blah its clinging to my skin. Reminds me of putting on damp clothes. Just no.

    When my skin gets very dry in the winter, I use Nivea in shower lotion.

    For regular, all year daily hand and feet stuff, I use Cutemol. I am prone to some weird sort of little itchy bumps on my hands unless they are properly moisturized, and that is the only stuff I've found that will prevent them.

    Dionis Goat milk skincare lotion is wonderful, does not have a greasy feel and last a long time.

    Palmers cocoa butter is the best body lotion since sliced bread, smells great is really thick and creamy and is better than some of the more expensive ones I've used ie clinique etc.

    Bio oil and argan oil is pretty good too but i'd only buy if they were on at half price.

    Yep. I've used a lot of other body lotions, and nothing has EVER gotten rid of the dry patches on my upper arms. But Palmer's did. My skin is really soft and glowy and it's like, $3.

    I'm not actually in love with the smell - it smells GOOD, but I don't always want to smell like chocolate. But I find that the scent seems to wear off after a few hours (or maybe I'm just really used to it).

    About all I'll do is to put on sunscreen ... and I had to hunt high and low for a sunscreen that would go on dry.

    Even using that antibacterial hand sanitiser stuff is a bit ick ... if I use it, I'll usually wash it off about 30 minutes later.

    I saw on another thread that coconut oil also mows your lawn and does your taxes. Miracle cures FTW!

    CeraVa is the best..has a patented formula that locks in moisture .. you put it on right after your shower. My husbands Derm reccomened it to him for his dry skin and Dr. said it was the best cream out there...and it is! Walgreens.

    I use body oil instead of lotion. I don't mind the greasy feel as it sinks in eventually. Sometimes if I'm in a rush i skip that step and make a homemade sugar scrub for the shower (sugar, sunflower oil and essential oil or some green tea) and use that after gel so my moisturising is done before I've even turned the shower off. Sometimes laziness wins!

    Plain Vitamin E oil (sometimes mixed with an essential oil) or BioOil (if my purse is feeling too heavy).
