I usually hate the feel of putting lotions on because they are greasy or oily. I have tried quite a few different lotions and the best ones I have found that aren't oily are from Dove and Vaseline. Another reason I don't particularly like putting lotion on is I have that feeling on my skin until the lotion dries, and it takes a long time for the lotion to dry.

Yet I still want to have soft skin not dry skin. Vaseline lotions and Dove lotions help to soften my skin as well, I can feel it after I apply the lotion and at least the next couple of days. I have about 7 bottles of lotion as of right now and I received samples of both Vaseline and Dove body lotion and I have used them up before I have my other lotions.

A lotion isn't going to work right and soften your skin if you don't use it right? So you want a lotion that you will like putting on your skin, that it makes your skin soft and not oily or greasy.

Dove has a few different body and hand lotions. I can't remember the name of the one that I particularly liked, but most of them are good. Dove will also usually send out samples if you go to their websites, so if you live in the United States I would go their websites.

Getting samples of lotions is a good way to find out which lotions you like before buying them. So look around on the internet for some samples of lotions. Most lotions feel too greasy on my skin and I don't like the feeling of them but dove and Vaseline are some good ones. Nivea is also a good one sometimes, I received a sample of this one once.

If you are looking for a body lotion that isn't too greasy I would also look at product reviews. I am sure you could find some on the internet, there are even websites that are just for reviews.

Have you ever put on lotion and your hands be really greasy afterwards? I hate that as well, that's a sign that the lotion is too greasy. I think the key is to find a good lotion that isn't too greasy or that doesn't take a long time to dry on your skin. It can be hard because I have a lot of lotions and the majority of them are too greasy.

You have probably tried a lot of different ones and the majority of them are greasy or sticky also, so it makes it hard to find the right ones. Once you find the ones you like, don't forget the name of them. Write the name of them down or keep the bottle if you have to, so that way when you run out or go to the store to buy more you have the name of lotion that isn't to sticky or greasy.
