Have you ever tried a solid lotion bar? Although it might seem weird initially, lotion bars are just as effective as regular lotion, minus all the plastic! Here are my top recommendations and how to use them!
How do you use a block lotion bar?
The first time you use a lotion bar, you might be a bit confused as to how to use it. That’s normal! We’re all used to liquid lotion, so there’s a bit of a learning curve.
A solid lotion bar is really simple to use. Just rub it between your hands or on the areas you’d like to moisturize. Depending on what it’s made of, how easily it rubs off can vary a bit. It always helps if you start with warm skin. If you’re feeling particularly cold, try rubbing the bar with your hands to get the oils in the bar warmed up before transferring it to the area you need to moisturize.
