Photo: Courtesy of Nickelodeon It’s safe to say pretty much everyone experiences dry skin, particularly in those months when summer begins to transition to fall. Rough, scaly patches typically pop up as temperatures drop and can be a pain to get rid of if you don’t take steps to prevent them from happening in the first place. “You want to avoid what we call alligator skin,” says dermatologist Dr. Sapna Palep, the founder of Spring Street Dermatology in New York City.

Breaking news: moisturizing skin moisturizes skin! Seriously, people pay you to do this? I’ll do it for half your rate.
Wooooooowwwwwww
You. Haven’t. Been. Doing. This. All. Your. Life? A research had to be conducted ?!
Do they put lotion on their skin before or after they don’t wash their legs. askingforafriend
Riveting journalism and entirely unpredictable.
Who doesn't use it year-round & why would you think it's okay? I feel like this is a lighter version of the 'washcloth' conversation we're about to have.
Girl, what?!
I’m assuming that the people who only use lotion in the fall and winter are the same people who don’t wash their legs and feet in the shower.
How do you think black peoples skin is so soft and perfect
😂
Might be on the list for whitest tweets of 2019.
Seriously 😐.... who thought about publishing this Tell Me !!
A Black mama hearing someone doesn’t grease their body year around
You don’t say 🤔 I never would have guessed to use lotion every day if I want smooth skin. /s
I remember this white girl asking me what I used on my legs cause they looked so good, and I said an oil blend post showers and she was in absolute shock.
Winter is the wet season, it's summer that it's dry. ;)
I don’t care what the “experts” say. I’m washing my WHOLE DAMN BODY when I take a shower. And then I moisturize everything. This takes more than 5 minutes.
'⬇️' -rahmxsh
Anyone who doesn’t put lotion on daily / after a shower needs to seriously reevaluate their life 😂😂😂
Oh you talking about white people?
Oh you whites
So y’all got a PLETHORA of options of lotion SPECIFICALLY catered towards y’all, and you telling me white ppl don’t use them?!? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
HOW have white people lived this long
Someone has to tell you to use body lotion?
Who the fuck is literally only lotioning then? This is an actual question is there anyone who doesn’t do that?
so no black folks on staff, no black dermatologists interviewed, right?
Black folk everywhere:
Lmao u dont even get thought to use lotion, u just use lotion. That coco butter bottle on your mom dresser.
I use lotion everyday and sometimes I use olive oil later in the day when I have a case of the flaking😂
Wait- I’m confused. I use a gallon of lotion a month and still have cracked heels. Who are you that you can not moisturize for months on end and not itch yourself to death?
So yall dont put lotion on during the summer?
🙋🏾♂️:So now that’s 3 things I’ve found out that ain’t right... You don’t wash your legs in the shower, you don’t wash-off chicken before cooking and now you don’t use lotion daily...🤔
My god my white people, everything other day you've embarrassed me again!
JFC, white people.
Delete this tweet.
I’m still fighting the adult acne battle with Rxs originally designed to deal with leprosy, so don’t even with the skin care regime.
Oh New Yorker, I really enjoy your magazine, but you clearly need to diversify your writers and editors. I hope this article wasn’t printed on tree sacrificing paper. It’s bad enough if it’s just digital.
No shit.
Black people been knew
Who doesn’t use lotion all times of the year ....
who didn't know this? who
This must be for white people
Seriously....
In 2019... y’all are just discovering this? This is why your skin... 😑
Next folks will find out u shouldn’t pick ur nose or pimples and touch donuts at work with bare hands in the break room.
Since everyone else mentioned how WTF this is, I’ll add that any lotion list that has St Ives and NOT Palmers Cocoa Butter is a bad list.
“Cocoa butter... ha ha” Why are they so late with everything? Like literally everything.
Um
Do you employ any Black people on staff? Any at all?
Relax people, we know this info isn't directed at us 🙄
I was not aware that Twitter is a beauty blog.
We BEEN doing this sis...
And I don't recommend whoever wrote the article because of their erroneous suggestion to not wash your entire body. That's absurd! Debbie
Which is why black continues not to crack.
I've tried three of the lotions here & many others for my very dry skin & none of them worked. Then I found Gold Bond lotion & it works! Debbie
SMH. There must be a lot of stupid, really dry people in this country. What kind of person doesn’t moisturize their entire body at least once a day? I’ve got lotion in my purse, car, office. Plus lotion, shea butter, & two kinds of body oil in my bathroom. Simply cannot relate.
This whole conversation kinda reminds me of Karen’s potato salad!!!
Y’all save yourself some money and get yourselves some Black friends. We’ve been knowing this.
I know you did not pay for this research. Black folks have known this forever. Y'all should have paid us.
Y’all don’t moisturize regularly?
It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
Who isn't already?
I use it everyday.
No kidding?
Y’all don’t use lotion multiple times a day?
Who doesn’t lotion up 365 days a year 🤔🤔
Quite the opposite, leave your skin alone at night and it will take care of itself.
OMG, did you run this story past anyone who isn't white?
Water is wet
The best liquids for thirst, according to experts.
There’s never been a day where I’ve lived on this green earth where I didn’t apply lotion after my shower. Do people honestly just shows and put on clothes and leave?
Who...doesn’t moisturise every day?
this reminds me of the white woman who just discovered the butters:
Y'all using Jergen's, Eucerin and St. Ives can expect a price jump now that some people are just now learning about body lotion...they're not gonna wanna shell out $17 for a new experience...
This is news.....for whom?
PulitzerPrizes FYI
Just go up to 125th Street, buy a bar of African black soap and a tub of Shea butter.
Y'all don't have any Black people on staff, huh?
Growing up uncombed hair and ashey knees guaranteed a verbal beat down.
I can't stand the sticky feel of lotion on my skin. I feel dirty. I'd rather be dry.
Who doesn't put lotion on after they shower?
ASHY
After finding out that a good number of ppl don’t wash their legs, this reporting is not surprising.
I have three open bottles of lotion in my line of sight at this moment. WHY ARE YALL ASHY?
Please submit all article ideas to twitter before you actually publish anything so we can let you know if you’re gonna be properly dragged for posting some more numbskull bullshit
The fact that people have to be told to do this, scares me. Scrub your feet too!
Lotion is a year round thing. So is sunscreen.
You needed Dr for this info?
Caucasity.
billburr had a whole skit about this. Come on now.
You gotta put baby oil on before you even step out of the shower. I thought all people’s moms taught them this.
Congrats! You've made it from ashy to classy.
A big way to prevent dry skin is to.. ... ... PUT LOTION ON
Black folks been knew
Ashy
I was going to ask...but I already knew smh
Black Twitter already down here cutting up!! 😂😂😂
Who uses lotion selectively?
Well, yeah.
white...
How the fuck is this news
So you willingly walking around ashy and dry? Mis_Lexis
ndaofary madiouladia
The 1950s have returned.
this year is the foreshadowing of the new plague.. not washing legs, not showering after swimming, now this ..
We know about lotion guys, we just use less of it in the Spring and Summer because we’re slathered in sunblock. ypipo
Or don’t use a towel
Not to start anything up again but, 'Another way to avoid stripping the skin of natural oils while showering, according to Idriss, is to “limit the use ofbody wash and cleansers more or less to your private parts, your underarms, basically the places that really need it.”
Who takes a season off to be ashy?!
Is this supposed to be a revelation?
wow - in depth hard hitting journalism! Lotion is good for Dry Skin! Who knew?
And they had the audacity to call us savages and animals 😐
We’ve been saying this for the longest
Who didn't know this?
Instead of worrying about what body lotion to use, which is actually a real luxury, why did you send some of that stuff down to the border for those poor immigrant kids locked up in cages! There's a lot more to worry about than dry skin for us Americans right now!
Wait...white people dont lotion in the summer and spring?
lol no shit
I am just going to wait here for black twitter to catch this.
In other words, the sisters are right.
Is this like when Elvis “invented” Rock and Roll and Columbus “discovered” America?
People really living like this ?
somehow we was the slaves.
The is a news flash?
I guess y’all missed the VaselineBrand commercial, with the most beautiful black woman who uses Vaseline on a daily. Black people know how to stay moisturized, ashy-ness is simply unacceptable in our culture!
So nobody there are no Black staff members?
White folks needed a dermatologist to tell them this ?
An emollient epiphany?
Who doesn’t know this?!
Nope. Y’all mayos will not be getting a rise out of me today
you don't say!!
I hope you get awards for this exposé
Y'all cannot be serious
Groundbreaking
we already know who this advice is for.
This is so bizarre lmao like oh who knew? What a surprise! So shocking! 🙄
'limit the use of body wash and cleansers more or less to your private parts, your underarms, basically the places that really need it.” What the?
My black ass reading this, remembering every time a white person asked me why black people love lotion
Wait who is out here only using lotion in the fall and winter? You know what I already know who. Nevermind
Either a) it rubs the lotion on its skin, or b) gets the hose again.
These replies 💀💀💀
I drink a cup of the stuff every morning with my pancakes.
What kind tho?
