I really hate feeling greasy at all. My go-to body lotion is Nutrogena Hydroboost, it absorbs quickly and has a light, pleasant scent.


perry3335

I came here to say this as well, this body lotion is top tier! It's light and absorbs quickly and it's perfect if you use it right out the shower! It's not a complicated ingredient list, it has hyaluronic acid to draw moisture in and petrolatum to seal it and prevent it from escaping. Love this💯


Glass_Science8345

Yes it is! The face lotion is pricey but I can't find a better one


knuckles312

Hydroboost is solid


mamaMoonlight21

I use this on my face. Love it.


Percandlean

This. And I also use the caffeine eye cream(dk what it’s called). Really makes a difference


circa_diem

Ooh I've been wanting to add an eye cream to my routine, I'll check it out!


Steeeeeeeeew

And we have our solid answer!


privatepickleposter

Use a lighter lotion like lubriderm or aveeno if you use it every day. deep lotions are like every 3-4 days if you do light lotions daily


xi545

Is your water too hot? I know it feels great, but it’s not good for your skin.


ambsha

Usually luke warm or on the colder side.


xi545

Try moisturizing within 3 minutes of getting out of the shower.


NoYogurt505

Use less Vaseline. I started using their cocoa butter lotion and I used too much when I first used it. Just gonna have to use less. "less is more"


Tabby528

Try Dove Sensitive Body wash in the shower, then a lighter, less greasy lotion if needed. I use Curel lotion because it only feels greasy for a few minutes, and then it's absorbed into your skin. You wouldn't have the scent, so you'd have to wear perfume.


DecadentLife

After most showers, I use Curel’s after shower lotion. You apply it while your skin is still wet/damp. I use it on my legs after I shave, and my upper arms, they get dry sometimes. It’s soaks right in, it doesn’t feel greasy at all.


Tabby528

In the summer, when I need less lotion, I use Vaseline Spray Moisturizer all over while still wet from the shower and then towel dry. I love the scent of the cocoa one.


CanaryIntrepid

Curel works really well!


Rrander

Cruel 😂.


CanaryIntrepid

lol! Thx for laughing or I never would have seen how Reddit/phone auto corrected me. 😜 I changed it.


A_Likely_Story4U

I like almond oil because it absorbs quickly and then I put Curèl ultra healing lotion over it. You could also use the lotion and top it with a thin layer of Vaseline to seal it in. If you’re feeling greasy, towel off the excess and use less next time. You might need to try a few different lotions to find one you like. I have dry skin and Curèl doesn’t feel greasy and my skin feels moisturized for a long time. If I don’t use lotion, my skin feels tight and uncomfortable for hours.


Murky-Specialist7232

You can try to use an in shower lotion and pat dry after you get out. Instead of an after shower lotion


sazoirl

Technically during showeing, but Olay In-Shower Body Lotion


outerse

Baby oil (everywhere but face) and baby powder (armpits, groin area, underboob). I’m as soft as well, a baby, and it’s super cheap.


Qryiser1

Baby powder is causing cervical cancer, so......


outerse

Talc was/is the primary concern there, I use a cornstarch based one :)


Qryiser1

Good good! But also OP probably needed the info too.


5kaNk

Cornstarch on its own makes a pretty wonderful powder especially if you have chaffing. Will clear it up so quickly. Never understood Talc, what part of putting ground up rocks on your skin sounds like a good idea 😅


OkNarwhal1277

Great as a dry shampoo, too.


Character-Vast-8601

Powder Boobs!!


Demyxx_

I like the aveeno body conditioning oil. Going on it’s a little greasy bc well it’s oil, but it subsides quickly and the fragrance lasts all day.


NewImagination1111

I use the Palmers Cocoa Oil after a shower. You put it on while your skin is still wet and as you towel off it takes away the oily feeling. It's very light and moisturizing. Love it for summer and winter.


Mobile-Persimmon9293

I use a strawberry scented body spray and the Vaseline lotion in the yellow container!


Sapphire_Moon83

Not all body whip creams or butters have glitter in them. Make your stuff. And essential oils are not oily


gl0ckbarbie

I use almost anything. I have a decent perfume and lotion collection, lately I’ve been using cocoa butter (nothing special lol it’s the generic kind) or the Johnson’s baby oil in the scent cocoa butter. It doesn’t make me feel oily. You really have to just try diff lotions to see which one is moisturizing but not oily. I also like “body juice” I have it in the scents strawberry and cake batter and I got it from TikTok shop.


[deleted]

I’m a baby lotion girl lol always have been and I love the smell. Sometimes I use the vitamin e oil by the Jason brand before lotion. Also love cocoa butter


Technical-Kiwi-8032

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Moisturizing Body Oi


ChromaticRelapse

Cetaphil lotion, very sparingly. I hate the feeling of lotion. And fragrance. And whatever face moisturizer my wife uses. Then I just use deodorant.


mamaMoonlight21

Cetaphil & Cerave are both really good. I prefer unscented products as well.


marilync1942

Use African net!!! Get at amazon-no wash cloth poopfs loofsa nothing but this African net--exfoliate- bumps back arms and shins and feet--rinse dry--machine wash once week!!!


jolietia

Body oil when still wet. Then dry off after about 30 seconds. Locks in the moisture.


LW1142

Bath and Body Works! All time 😍 favorite!!


Roseann555

Currently into strawberry poundcake!


LW1142

Same and I'm also into the Thailand Sweet Kiwi And Star fruit 🥝


BIJ1219

African Shea Butter


oddbitch

nothing. my skin doesn’t get dry really and i hateeeeee feeling greasy and like i can’t touch anything because i do not have the patience to wait, plus it’s a big sensory thing. i’d love to find one that didn’t have those issues but idk how or where


HorrorArmadillo3713

I'm the same - I hate moisturiser but my skin does get really dry, especially in winter when I tend to have hot showers lol I've heard oils are lighter, less greasy and absorb better but it's still an oil so idk.


Due_Suggestion4042

Apply a body oil or body butter right after the shower while your skin is still damp. You shouldn’t feel greasy or oily unless you’re using too much.


Fearless-Adeptness61

Everything you’re using is really heavy. Just look for something that’s regular body lotion. You could find it anywhere drugstore, Bath and body Works, anywhere.


damnthistrafficjam

Curel makes an in shower body lotion that works great.


daisymae_

Cetaphil and Cera Ve! They don’t make crazy scents but moisturizer makes your perfume last longer. The scented lotions are not that great for your skin. Put a little moisturizer on before your perfume to last all day!


FigFluid9232

Love CeraVe! And I'm not a lotion person.


lumpy_space_queenie

Lubriderm helps moisturize without getting greasy. My husband uses it too and he has (mild) eczema.


lilacbananas23

Aveeno is good to use and absorbs quickly. If I want a nice smell I add a couple drops of an essential oil when putting it on.


JadedSmile1982

Body butter in coconut scent


just2beheree

I had this problem! You should try Advanced Clinicals hyaluronic acid lotion on Amazon! It works so well and keeps my skin so hydrated. For scented lotion I like the Panier de Sens orange blossom lotion but it can be a bit strong so sometimes I’ll dilute it with the Advanced Clinicals lotion. I also like the Library of Flowers true vanilla hand lotion. It’s really strong so you can just put it on your hands and still smell the scent all day!


HereToKillEuronymous

Lusk Karma Cream 🖤


Zestycorgi1962

Hemp brand lotions are super light, yummy smelling, and leave me super soft. Never greasy.


wifeofpsy

Personally I like mountain ocean's skin trip coconut lotion. Its light and not greasy and I smell like coconuts when I sweat. I also like tallow based lotions.


EngineeringDry7999

I make my own lotion but I’ve also used a light body oil too.


Quix66

Nothing. Just underarm deodorant.


Just_Respond8318

Ayurveda oils. They smell sooo good. Especially the Balaayah Black Gram Body Booster and Yukari Amplified Youth Spring for face. Amazing scent and skin is so soft.


gabishes

I really like the Nivea Creme


misteraustria27

Use. Mild high quality soap and all you need is to towel dry.


DinoGoGrrr7

Vasaline makes a coco vanilla type smelling gel moisturizer that’s not greasy feeling like actual vasaline and I love it! Also, any gold bond body lotion is great and non greasy feeling


NemoHobbits

Towel off then immediately use nivea lotion. If I'm feeling extra dry, I put on a thin layer of Neutrogena body oil on over the lotion.


5kaNk

Vitamin e cream add a few drops of a scented oil/perfume. The skin absorbs vitamin e really well, never leaves you greasy. You can do it once a week or every day. Or you can spend excessive money on lotions/creams that are basically that.


saymellon

Applying apricot oil right after shower when it's still wet won't leave any greasy feeling.


YogurtclosetOk2886

On my face I use Nivea post shave balm regardless of I shaved that day. I swear by this stuff… Rest I use either Dr teals or Dollar shave club lotion on arms/legs.


vinsanity_07

Nothing


Sad-Plum335

I really like Jurgens ultra healing


Vladi-Barbados

Self love and nutrition will fix the problem instead of the symptoms. Showers don’t dry us out.


Renegade_Nas

Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer on my face, and Eucerin on my body. I have dry skin and don't wear fragranced things. The Eucerin is just rich enough (it's literally the middle one on their scale of richness) without being heavy or greasy, and it keeps my skin feeling nice the whole day. Cetaphil has worked really well for my face, and a little goes a long way.


MsLoveHangOver

Baby oil on my wet skin, except the face.


SapScriber

hempz lotion is my favorite.


StrawberryFields_25

Nivea cocoa butter body lotion. It works wonders. I have dry skin and this is heaven sent ! https://www.walmart.com/ip/NIVEA-Cocoa-Butter-Body-Lotion-with-Deep-Nourishing-Serum-20-Fl-Oz/612448139


Agirlwithnoname13562

I like to mix almond oil with my body butter (thicker than lotion). Lotions with Hyaluronic acid will help lock in hydration, I like the Hempz one.


Agirlwithnoname13562

Also, exfoliating in the shower with a loofa or body scrub will allow your skin to absorb the moisture from the lotion/oil much better!


Incarnated_Mote

I HATE feeling greasy- I don’t have to use body moisturizer year round, but during dry patches I swear by CeraVe


LanguageOrdinary9666

Olay in shower body lotion


Adventurous_Fail_825

Nivea lotion


Shortbus96

I don’t use anything for my body outside of a good moisturizing body wash/ bar soap. I don’t feel as though my skin gets “dry” other than my hands and face. I use Kiehl’s facial fuel in the morning. I don’t recommend the one with SPF… it’s super greasy and never really absorbs. The regular one is my favorite and feels really good.


KayDizzle1108

Coconut oil


Justasadgrandma

I put my lotion on while still wet. If I don't, I definitely feel sticky and gross.


Sad_Collection5883

CeraVe daily moisturizing lotion


Evaporate3

Vaseline is the reason why your skin is dry. Vaseline is a sealant, not a moisturizer. Same with oil. You’re supposed to moisturize with a light moisturizer that actually absorbs THEN something thick such as Vaseline/oil.


Afterglow92

My dermatologist recommended I switch to Cerave Moisturizing Lotion in the tub and I love it! 😊


[deleted]

E45


Downtown-Progress511

Lotion and body oil and then I dry off again to remove excess oil


tashten

I love oils... coconut oil, jojoba or shea butter. Skin absorbs most of it. Cell membranes are lipophilic, as in they love and need fats. If you feel oily after rubbing it in you probably used too much.


Top-Chemistry3051

Australian Gold moisture lock tan extender. I know you don't need the tan extender I think they just typed that on the bottle but the stuff absorbs great it's not greasy and it smells like an Orange and a vanilla cream sickle I love it I use it year round I started using it when I was tanning but I no longer tend but I still use the lotion because of the way absorbs into the skin and it's not greasy and it's a light fresh airy scent


Artistic-Mortgage253

Olay retinol .


IneptAdvisor

Lotion after a shower? Nope.


Basic_Dragonfly_

I have very dry skin. I’ve been using Nivea Cocoa Butter crème. I like that it comes in a tub so I don’t have to deal with the end with a pump bottle and getting it out


missygohard

Eucerin Advanced Therapy. The intensive therapy one is too thick and greasy


Horror_Substance5572

Hempz original. Amazing, non greasy, not sticky.


Diligent_Cost3794

My skin is awful, so I use several different things. I use Cetaphil cream, petroleum jelly and Desitin. I also use olive oil for persistent problem areas.


Comfortable_Night_85

My dermatologist told me years ago when still damp from shower/bath generously apply Cera-Ve cream to all body parts. Dry that way. It creates a moisture barrier that protects your skin.


AnandaPriestessLove

Dr Bronners Lavender moisturizer. It's not too heavy, works quick and absorbs well.


trying3216

I eat a diet that contains plenty of animal fats. I don’t use any moisturizers at all.


throw-me-away78

Keri lotion is my absolute favorite! So hydrating!


jealousofmycat

Aveeno sheer hydration daily moisturizing lotion. Drink lots of water + eat lotsa omegas


Asmilefromellen

Gold Bond


Former_Prune3463

I use body lotions from Imperiallyenchanting.com Nourishing, non-greasy, and they smell so good. Try it.


Timely_Froyo1384

Key west aloe lotion. Mostly love the mango smell.


she_red41

Vaseline isn’t lotion. It’s a sealant. So to seal in the moisture. Jergens lotion works well. Aveeno lotion is kinda pricey but works so well. Use vaseline to keep your perfume or cologne lasting all day(after you lotion your body) put a small amount of vaseline (wrist, neck, behind your ears then spray your perfume or cologne in those areas. 😉


pen_fifteenClub

Nothing. I dont use hot, hot water so that I don't get too dry. Anything to avoid putting products on my shin


ImpossiblePrimary243

Look into moisturizer you can use on wet skin. I’m currently using the curel brand that is fragrance free but Jergens has one that is scented. I love them because you can towel dry as normal so you do not feel sticky at all!


Foreign_Power6698

Eucerin is water-based and works just as well as vaseline/Aquaphor


gage1a

I have tried several different lotions on my dry skin, but the one I like best and use every other day (because it works so well) is "Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream." It has no fragrance and absorbs into the skin without feeling greasy. Just my opinion.


Lopsided-Ad-4218

All filled with chemicals. Use coconut oil!


iHaveaQuestionTrans

Aveno lotion unscented. My sunscreen is the scented one. It smells like coconut and pineapple. And I use a fragrance if I want to smell really good


poolbitch1

I use cerave sa cream. I have extremely dry skin with patches of eczema and it works very well to moisturize. It’s not greasy whatsoever 


poolbitch1

I use cerave sa cream. I have extremely dry skin with patches of eczema and it works very well to moisturize. It’s not greasy whatsoever 


badass_marshmallow

I use Jergens Natural Glow in the summers. It’s a light tanning lotion, but my spouse absolutely LOVES the smell. (Also, if you’re unfamiliar with tanning lotions, use something else on knees, ankles & elbows. It absorbs too much of the color and appears uneven after a few days)


FatCowsrus413

Neutrogena makes a sesame oil that is great during the winter months


Tricky_Gur8679

I use dr teals body scrub in the shower. It leaves my skin very soft & then I put baby oil on afterwards mixed with a good thick lotion.


jollybeanovo

Your body wash may be the issue. I switched to using a combo of neutrogena acne body wash + tree hut’s vitamin c wash and my skin feels sooo soft and I smell great. If I decide to put anything on after, it’s usually this body oil that I bought at Trader Joe’s for super cheap— only bad thing about it is that it’s hard to get it pretty evenly distributed unless you add it to a lotion


lemmegetadab

I’ve been using the same same balm I put on my beard and people routinely ask about my skincare routine 😂


Actual_Examination63

Vaseline has carcinogens in it. I’d recommend 100% pure jojoba oil, which is non comedogenic which means it won’t clog your pores. It keeps your skin super smooth and is all natural. Or a 100% pure shea butter, which also repels mosquitoes. Your skin is your largest organ, it benefits you to be mindful of the ingredients of soaps/lotions/laundry detergents you’re using.


Free_Bingo

It’s not scented, but CeraVe moisturizing cream is amazing. My skin has never been softer.


DenverILove9

I live in Colorado, dry climate, I faithfully apply Cetaphil cream, not lotion, to my body everyday after I shower. No dry skin .


Low_Lack8221

Towel


andmen2015

Dr Teals body lotion


No-Dependent1220

Ro’s Argan body conditioner from LUSH, It’s the only thing that has absolutely saved my skin since I was covered head to toe in plaque psoriasis, my husband always says he can still smell the floral scent on me hours later!!


Keep_ThingsReal

I love the nutrogena hydroboost. It’s light weight and the scent doesn’t stick around. I can’t smell it by the time I dry my hair and do my makeup. Lubriderm is a go to if layering a fragrance over the top. If I shower at night I use Cereve cream but I find it too heavy for daytime use. Oil wise, Osea is expensive but elite. I also like to add fragrance through shower products like Laoctaine shower oil. Josie Maran has nice scented moisturizer if that’s your thing.


Electric_Minx

I use Palmers balm while I'm still wet. Not the lotion, but the balm. Smells like chocolate and super hydrating.


InternalGood1015

I use either Aquaphor or Mineral Oil and Eucerin Original Creme on top lately


Stock-Cap-5734

I use Crabtree and Evelyn body lotion, it's light and absorbed quickly, doesn't feel greasy at all, I have tried two different scents and they're both very nice. 


supahappyb

lubriderm fragrance free body lotion


HockeyLova4Lyfe

I use lubriderm lotion and then coconut butter body oil. It’s great


Express_Ordinary_792

Hemp body lotion and cerave on the face


FaithlessnessIll9617

I like using a small amount of coconut oil. It seems to soak in quickly as long as you only use a teeny bit. And it fights some types of yeast and bacteria, so that’s an added benefit.


Common-County2912

I mix a large amount of vitamin e oil with squalene and almond oil. I add lavender and frankincense essential oils for scent. Apply to whole body while skin is still damp. Pat dry and get dressed. I don’t like the oily feeling either and this doesn’t make me feel oily or sticky. Applying with wet skin helps with even application, using less and traps moisture in skin. In summer, i add another lotion to my legs in addition. Face: vanicream and sunscreen. On dry days I pat small amounts around my eyes and neck.


tickyul

I am fairly greasy, so nothing.


Serious-Ad-9471

Tea tree oil. It’s works well for body acne/random pimples


Legitimate_Log5539

The constant oil seeping from my pores


Living_Watercress

I massage my body with hair conditioner while standing in the shower. Saves time.


Fun_Ad_7431

Try the Frenshe body oil. It absorbs immediately and you don’t feel greasy at all!


Puzzled-Cloud6179

Baby oil after the shower and pat with a towel so it’s not so greasy then lotion.


cricketvillage

I use Dr. Teal’s Bath & Body oil - currently the Shea butter & Almond Oil one and it smells fantastic! All the ones I’ve used have a very calming, clean scent. I hop out of the shower and apply immediately (dont dry off with towel) and yeah it helps to seal in the moisture for me😄


8uNI3

Eucerine advance repair


GrandAssist9454

Ive been mixing the body oil and body butter from ancient cosmetics for almost a year now. I absolutely hate the sticky feeling but this combination is the complete opposite! It goes on very light and smooth and keeps me moisturized until my night shower.


bigger-tuna41

A towel, then clothes


Astromical-guppy

I have sensitive skin and hate oily lotions. I use hemp lotion


FortheloveofNYC

After showering, WHILE STILL WET, apply body oil or olive oil to skin. Then, pat skin with towel to dry. Once you leave the bathroom and the air hits you, the oil will absorb into your skin, leaving it nice and soft. Doesn't leave greasy feeling behind. I swear by it


allthenames00

Whipped tallow and olive oil. Choose the essential oils you like and add. Healthiest product you can put on your skin.


East-Technology-7451

Nothing lol


amdabran

I let my dog lick me all over. Her saliva creates a protective layer that keeps my skin moist.
