As a black guy, I concur with the fact that our skin does look like we leaned against a chalk board when it's dry. That's why I moisturize my face every morning/night, put lotion on my arms/legs and use hand cream. The whole ordeal is annoying, but totally worth it.

the first time i told my white colleague (we're attorneys) that he was ashy, he looked at me like i had slapped him. his elbows were cracked and pink. it was ridiculous. now he's "on lotion 3 days a week."

My Lotion routine is like brushing my teeth. I also carry a small pocket container of lotion to use throughout the day like lip gloss.

Absolutely, lip balm😊. Glad u mentioned that moisturizer, importance as well. There’s ZERO reason for chapped lips🤭.

Everyone needs to use lotion from young we are taught come out the bath/shower, dry your skin then moisturise.

We all need lotion no matter the race black will crack if we don't use lotion but it's been used on us since birth we have to use it because we can see our ash so we stay moisturized our entire life and slows the aging appearance in the process and that's why most black people skin doesn't crack and people of none color should definitely use it because you will slow your aging appearance as well!

Yep, I had no idea till I was like living in Spain, looking at my Spanish and Latin American friends and realised that I had been lacking all my life! I still don't use enough lotion, but I have gotten better. Important knowledge from Bill, not for the first time! Basically, we all need to be using lotion!

Keep your skin fresh. Use lotion fellas

Um… I use lotion on more than just my… 😅

Yes. You don't need the expensive chemicals. Lotion, coconut oil, cocoa or shea butter is a must daily on every inch of our body. Oh and smelling good is important too. It's like brushing your teeth and we even lotion when getting ready for bed. Having good skin is drilled into us. I feel like when a Black child is born he is slathered in lotion or oil from birth and then carries that through his life. We then have a small bottle with us in our purse, car etc. If you're not showing shiny moist skin another Black person will call you out on it because you will not look like you're properly dressed or taking care of yourself. I have a friend that will pull the bottle of oil out of her purse if she sees me and my skin is not up to her standards and make me lotion right there especially before we go out in public. But upside people typically guess that i am at least 20 years younger than I actually am.

This is hilarious! I needed this laugh. Make no mistake about it. BLACK REALLY DON'T CRACK. LOL. Darker skin absorbs sun very well. I'm dark brown and my skin is literally like 550 SPF. With that said though, the lotion certainly doesn't hurt! Plus, yes, all of our black brethren will crack on us if we're ashy😂😂😂 We have a big Costco bottle of lotion downstairs, we have one upstairs, I have my own jar of creamy moisturizer in my room, I have one in oldest my son's room because he is extra ashy... I have a personal small bottle in my purse and one in my work bag and one of my desk at work. My son has one in his gym bag.

Having been with white men. Irishman from New York and a British man. Both well off and educated. I mention a brief background on them because one would think they would know about lotion. Rarely ever use lotion. Well, they did know about lotion but it wasn’t part of their beauty regimen. They had the shaving cream and after shave and cologne and a bar of their favorite soap. They did not use lotion. Having dated a black American also educated and a wide receiver. A lot of time spent on lotioning up. 😂😂😂😂 Lotion Summit

I’m shockingly caucasian and i take regular baths in coconut oil. It reduces the amount of times i have to apply lotion. So yes. I use lotion often and the coconut oil baths help me reach the hard get to places. 😀

Guys you need lotion. Add it to damp skin. Palmers has cocoa butter oil or coconut oil. Apply it when you’re dripping wet out of the shower or bath then pat yourself dry or just put on a Teri cloth robe. Your skin will be nice. It keeps the wrinkles away

Lotion rules!

Scientifically, there is actually biological reason for this. White skin loses moisture at a less rapid rate than black skin. This is because Africa is extremely humid and Europe has winters. In Africa, skin needs to lose moisture rapidly because the air is constantly humid. White people's ancestors immigrated north in to Europe and had to deal with long winters that have no humidity, so their skin evolved to retain moisture for longer. I'm white and in my 34 years of life I've used moisturizer only a handful of times and it was always during winter. If I use lotion during the humid summers my skin will immediately break out and become oily because there's too much moisture.

You're using the wrong kind of lotion if you break out. You probably have very oily skin, but you Still need a moisturizer in summer especially if you're going in and out of air conditioned cars, houses and buildings, because air conditioning takes the moisture out of the air and replaces it with cold, drying air. And, if you live in a hot climate with humid summers, you need moisturizers even more. You also need sun blockers, and sometimes they can be oilier than moisturizers. They're not the same thing.
