Lotion and hairy legs...

[DrumDawg]

My legs are getting dry; I have very hairy legs (and would like to keep them that way);

When i use lotion, it just does not soak in the skin (like it would on bare skin)

any suggestions?

I imagine that you are the very type of person that Penhaligon's has in mind when they make Blenheim Bouquet bath oil.

great idea; used some baby oil today; did the trick

The few times I put lotion on my legs I just rubbed like crazy till it penetrated the layer of hair. I kid you not, this process took several minutes.

Drum, I have the same problem in the winter.

Have your tried exfoliating first and then applying a lotion or cream, perhaps one with a lot of coconut or palm oil in it?

I find that doing this before bedtime works well for me. My legs are moderatly hairy, but find you just gotta keep rubbing the stuff in until it absorbs.

I can't help but think of the Friends episode where Ross gets stuck in the bathroom when he can't pull his leather pants back up. :lol:

I usually apply lotion immediately after I show. It goes on much more smoothly and effectively.
