How often should I moisturize my body?

There's no single perfect answer because everyone's skin is a little different, but here's how to figure out what's right for you.

• Skin Type: If you have dry skin, you probably need to moisturize twice a day, especially right after a shower or bath. If you have oily skin, once a day might be enough, and you can focus on those drier spots like your elbows and knees. If your skin is normal, once a day usually works great.
• Climate & Season: In dry or cold climates (like during the winter), your skin loses moisture faster, so you'll need to moisturize more often. In a hot, humid climate, you might be able to get away with less frequent moisturizing.
• Lifestyle: If you're a person who sweats a lot, you might need to reapply moisturizer after a workout to keep your skin from getting dehydrated.
• Age: Our skin naturally loses some of its ability to hold moisture as we get older, so older adults often need to moisturize more often to keep their skin feeling comfortable and hydrated.

A few simple tips:

• Always moisturize after you shower. This is the most important part. Your skin is still a little damp, and the moisturizer will lock in that hydration.
• Pay extra attention to problem spots. Your hands, feet, elbows, and knees tend to get the driest.
• Listen to your skin. If it feels tight, itchy, or just generally dry, it's telling you it needs more moisture.

A good moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or shea butter can make a big difference. And hey, if you're ever in doubt, just listen to what your skin is telling you.
