How often should I moisturise? (lemmy.zip)

Hi skincare people,

I normally apply moisturiser to my face daily, but rarely ever moisturise my body which I'm pretty sure I should be doing.

So my question is how often should I be moisturising my full body?

This is likely one of those things that is highly dependent on both genetics and one's own goals. I'm not sure that it's entirely possible for anyone but yourself to answer that question. I'd advise approaching it from angles like "What issues do I have with my skin that I want to improve?", "How do I want my skin to look?", "How do I want my skin to feel?", etc. Once you establish the fundamental problems that you want to solve, you can then try to find solutions and answers.

At any rate, for reference, I personally moisturize twice daily: I moisturize my face in the morning, and then both my entire body and, again, my face at night. If you are curious about the details, I described my skincare routine here.
