Have you ever heard that you should be applying lotion to wet skin? For most people, this goes against everything we’ve been taught. We keep bottles of hand lotion or body lotion on our desks at work or in our bedside table. But, how many of us keep a bottle of lotion in the shower with our body wash and our shampoo? Until I noticed that my skin was dry all the time and did some research, I had no idea why I should add lotion to my shower supplies.

Applying Lotion to Wet Skin
We apply lotion to our skin to make it seem softer and to add moisture to skin that feels dry. In order for the lotion to do its job, it needs to get down deep into our skin to provide lasting results. When we apply lotion to dry skin, the lotion doesn’t work its way as deeply as it could. So, we should be applying lotion to wet skin. When our skin is wet, the pores are open allowing the lotion to work better and last longer.
Have you ever applied lotion and noticed that you just need to apply it again in an hour or two? If so, that could be because the lotion isn’t being absorbed well and is instead staying on the surface of your skin. But, after showering, your skin cells expand which makes it easy for your lotion to get deep into your skin cells. Curél® HYDRA THERAPY WET SKIN MOISTURIZER, with Advanced Ceramide Complex, penetrates deeply into the surface of the skin bringing moisture to the source of dryness.
Ceramides, naturally present in healthy skin, are vital building blocks to maintaining skin’s moisture barrier. So, when ceramides are lost, skin becomes dry and damaged. Curél® HYDRA THERAPY WET SKIN MOISTURIZER, with Advanced Ceramide Complex, penetrates to the source of dryness. This helps to replenish skin’s ceramide levels and repair the moisture barrier.
My thoughts:
After deciding I wasn’t happy with my current lotion, I decided to try Curél® HYDRA THERAPY WET SKIN MOISTURIZER on my wet skin to see if I noticed a difference. My skin felt much softer even after just one use after showering. Plus, I noticed that my skin feels more supple, smooth and well moisturized. Because my old lotion left my skin feeling greasy, it meant that it wasn’t being absorbed well. Now after using Curél® HYDRA THERAPY, that greasy feeling is gone!
Curél® HYDRA THERAPY is very easy to use. Just keep a bottle in the bathroom and near the kitchen sink and apply the lotion to your wet skin. After using it, you’ll notice that it glides on smoothly and is absorbed quickly. After applying, just towel off like normal and go. You’ll notice the difference!
You can find Curél® HYDRA THERAPY and other Curél products at mass, drug and grocery retailers for a suggested retail price of $7.99 (8 oz) and $10.99 (12 oz).
