Out of all of my friends, I am the one who uses lotion(for your face). I use it once in the morning and once at night (i use Olay). But my friends keep saying that lotion isnt a good thing to use. They say that lotion is like oil, and it makes your skin oily.

So is lotion really bad for you skin or is it good?

sorry about the typo in the title. it should be "your"

..lotion is supposed to make it better. err. it's supposed to keep it moisterized and soft, but idk i guess not maybe? but i use acne products, and masks instead.

well the oily part is true, but it really depends on what brand you use. i personally like nivea for your face

i think it can make your face oily, it depends on what brand you use and how your skin is. there are lotions that are oil-free. but yea i use lotion for my face too. i don't think it's suppose to be bad though

I dont think so , um you have to use hydrating lotion , other lotions might irritate you. But if its for the face , it wont harm you.

dont they make special lotions for your face? 0_o i think i've seen them, they're meant to keep your face soft and whatnot buh not oily. i guess it is kind of bad but i only use lotion on my arms and legs and occasionaly i rub down my whole body to keep it nice and soft.. not that you needed to know.

maybe you should just use a little dab ?

ive used olay before. its ok.. it says "light, non-greasy formula" so i guess it means not oily.

lotion feels a little like oil but it's not...i don't think lotion is made..but i don't use it on my face

use that olay daily cleaning cloth stuff. it has vitamin e and a bunch of other crazy things so you won't need lotion.

i never use lotion on my face so i don't know.

well most lotions like scented or those "hydrating" lotions are made up seed oil, corn oil and glycol stearate which can cause clogging of the pours, therefore it is best to use on the body and not the face because the face is the most sensitive of skin. Therefore when choosing lotions for your face try to find some that have antioxidents and that have aloe vera, try to stay away from "natural" products that contain 4% of "natural" extracts because they contain A LOT of clogging factors
basically try to find products that contain Urea,Aloe vera, Amino Acids, and most IMPORTANTLY keratin which im not sure bout this i gotta find out but it triggers the release of melanin by the skin cells.

If you have oily skin, you'll get less wrinkles than those with dry skin.

Regular lotions are bad for your face. However, lotions that are made to use on your face, are actually quite good for you. Just make sure they are oil-free, and believe it or not, they will actually keep your skin from being oily because most facial lotions absorb excess facial oils.

well the oily part is strue, but its not BAD for your face. get a kind without that much oil or something./

Eh, my health teacher says it's not good to overuse it. Maybe it depends on the different kinds of lotions.

no..its not bad..at least not for me. i dont wanna be ashy

as far as i know when you use lotion on your face you leave in on there for like 2 minutes at most and then wash your face really good to get it all off. =)

No it's not bad. But there is special stuff out there for your face. Like Olay or something like that.

yessssss.

It does have certain oils in the lotion.. but they're good for your skin. It doesn't actually make your skin all oily... unless you put the wrong type of lotion on your skin. Your skin needs to oils to keep itself healthy. After all, it's the largest organ in your body!

ashy? O_o

lotion isnt bad for your skin, unless you use like foot lotion on your face.

It's when your skin gets really dry and sorta a light color... sometimes at the knees and elbows your skin can crack depending on the level of dryness.. it's most noticeable on drier skin. it's hard to explain... but yeah

omg i don't think so... lotion is good for my face... at night i put ALOT on and then in the morning wash it off and my fash is smooth with nothing on it....

Lotion is supposed to feel a little oily because thats whay moisturized and "hydrates" your face...but if ur really worried then get an oil-free facial moisturizer. That should do the trick :)

it depends if you have sensitive skin (if the lotion has perfume or w.e.). and the oils are what make it moisturizing, but it's the good oils i guess. but you should it off at night so it doesnt clog your pores

lotions are not bad for your skin unless you have sensitive skin that is easily irritated. if you have an oily face i would look for a lotion that is water based. most lotions are lipid based so they absorb into you skin easily. try something water based that is light and won't break out your skin.

i would use a lotion made for your face...but thats just me

I don't think lotion is bad for your skin...I think it makes it healthy....I think?? But for the main part, I don't think it would harm your skin....but to be honest, if you don't like the oily kinds, then just use the non-oily ones. I'm sure that would work.

i usually use my moisturizer and then pat a little bit of excess lotion from my hands on it bc the moistureizer doesn't always smell all that great

i dont think lotion's bad since they're use 2 moisturize ur skin so i guess it's supposed 2 b a lil bit oily?? not sure =/

I think it depends on the brand/type you use.

lotion is good for your skin
on your elbows and knees
other places where your body bends alot. because the skin tends to dry out alot in those areas.
olay quench is really good.

hahah noooooo lotion MOISTURIZES your skin .. i don't see how its bad for you...

Google it... see what comes up lol

use FACE lotion on your face. it's different than regular lotion. regular lotion for your body is more oily and because your face is so delicate, you need to use a different type of lotion.

everyone's skin is different..it pends i like it

honestly i only use lotion for when my face/body is dry. i dunno if it makes ur skin oily or anything.
