Have been using body lotion as far back as I can remember. The one I use now is St. Ives body lotion with Aloe Leaf. I put it on right after my shower. Here in florida you are in the sun & heat all the time. Everyone always says my skin looks good for my age. No dry scaley skin for me. Notice the difference as soon as I put it on. Skin has a healthy glow. Sueanne
