Shampoo man. Really any soap that lathers well will do. Use your head. And I don’t mean the lower one.
What a predicament. Here are some options I know will work, at least until you get some lube.
- If you’re in the bathroom, at home or hotel, etc., soap will do the trick.
- After shave is another option. Keep in mind some after shave can have a “cooling” affect so be mindful.
- Oils, such as olive oul, coconut oil, sweet almond oil.
- Ready for this one?…room temperature butter or margarine. Now this will probably be a bit messy but it will get the job down.
- Of course Vaseline.
- Baby oil.
- Here’s one that will flip your lid…hair conditioner slightly wet. Just damp hand(s) and some conditioner, and have at it.
Hope this helps. I’m sure there’s a lot more but these I could think of off the top of my head…(no pun intended)
Well there’s toothpast and any of the soaps in your bathroom. But go to the kitchen for the fun stuff, you may want to lay out a towel or better yet saran wrap and have some time for this. Try some peanut butter prefer creamy but chunky has it’s own effects, check out the syrup chocolate is tasty too jelly can work. I had a girlfriend that really liked hot sauce, kinda burned but if you could power through it the rewards were pretty good.
Water is a very poor lubricant. Most hand lotions contain high amount of water.
One should choose a very “Oily” hand lotion, if needed, to use as lube.
As pointed out by other answers, preferably choose a “scent free” and “sensitive skin” type of oily hand lotion.
It’s most likely that there’s nothing at all wrong with a lotion past it’s expiry date.
The reason they exist is because after a time the preservative system will become compromised.
The expected time for the preservative to fail might be 3 years after the expiry date but that’s based on using and storing it correctly.
The manufacturer has to consider all the possible ways the preservative will be challenged. Left on a hot windowsill, lid off, condensation getting in, dropping it in the bath, dirty fingers, and so on.
The reason you should not use it after the expiry date is because the bacteria is often invisible to the naked eye. You might not be able to see it but that doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful.
Sometimes you see separation in a lotion. This means the emulsion has failed. Even the most stable emulsion can fail over time. If that happens at any point you need to throw it out too.
No, your body isn’t adapted fully to the industrialised world we live in with micro climates affecting us multiple times daily. Think about when you wake up with the heating on, outside is frosty and windy, the car you blast the heating furiously to melt the ice, you may get a train packed with people waiting for the train is freezing and the inside carriage is sauna like and then the office block to block can be different due to the peoples preference. The outside air is polluted and can deposit on our skin causing havoc to the degradation of squalene and collagen.
Our body can’t keep up and as a result dry and cracked skin can be caused, but our body is constantly updating and if you stopped, the body would continue its mission to protect the human. Its purpose is to provide an effective barrier, its doesn’t stop trying just because we add more water, other wise we should all stop having baths! Moisturisers are just preventing water evaporating or pulling in atmospheric water into the skin surface. The natural function isn’t effected at all only the health of our protective barrier is preserved.
Yes!
It can be used on or around wounds, even small ones you’re unaware of like immediately after shaving. You can also use a lotion that contains ingredients you are allergic to. Or you could use it before/after applying another topical product it isnt meant to be used with, like before some scar creams, ointments, etc.
Due to my babies and my sensitive skin, I use cooking oil instead of lotion. A high-grade extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, walnut oil, or avocado oil; or any mix of the above
Thank you, for your A2A request.

Ultraviolet light dulls and fades tattoo colors, so avoiding the sun will help preserve the tattoo brighter longer. Dry skin reflects more light making the colors underneath look more dull. If your skin is dry, make sure the water in your shower is not too hot, use a non-drying soap, avoid anything that scrubs the skin like loofahs, spongies, washcloths, and apply a moisturizing cream after your showers.
As an art lover I am constantly amazed at the variety and richness of the tattoos that my patients have. As a dermatologist, I am ambivalent about them. There are allergic reactions to tattoo inks that are very difficult to eradicate, which leads to chronic inflammation around the ink. I have also seen a large number of keloids form in tattoos. Plus one of the fastest areas of interest in dermatologic procedures is laser tattoo removal.

Yes, it is.
Consumers often turn to aftershaves to maintain healthy skin.
Improper shaving can lead to irritation, removal of excessive skin layers, small cuts and ingrown hairs. Reddening and inflammation are common as well. Furthermore, razor shaving in the presence of alkaline shaving soaps could be too harsh for delicate skin.
In theory, aftershaves are applied to the shaved face to counteract skin irritation induced by shaving. Aftershave also allows to wear a slight scent without using a cologne. Besides soothing and calming irritated skin, aftershaves are to have additional functions, including: a freshening effect, emolliency, toning skin, imparting scent, and preventing ingrown hair. Optional effects might include anti-wrinkle and skin lightening.
For all these reason, aftershave plays an important role in the shaving process.
Hi Ivan,
I love organic unprocessed sweet almond oil for my face and body with a few drops of lavender and ylang ylang essential oils. I put this on after a warm shower, my skin soaks it up in no time.
Jojoba oil is another light easy to spread oil. Men like woodsy essential oils like patchouli and sandalwood.
If you feel too greasy, use a cotton or paper towel to remove excess oil before you get dressed.
Once a week have a date night with yourself, give yourself a nice oil massage (abhayangam)with a heavier oil like pure sesame or Ayurvedic oil like this. Bathe in warm water, treasure yourself and send love to your beautiful body that is experiencing this divine gift of life as you.
This will keep the skin moisturized, promote sleep, and a sense of well-being.

Hey Zanele. Calamine lotion can be removed with soap and water. In fact, washing the affected area between applications is advisable instead of reapplying more lotion over the top of old applications.
As I have seen people using these fancy expensive lotions impressed by ads, and get a very little, temporary results. If you stop using them, again the problem recurs.Best Ex: All clear ( I have forgotten full name).
My experience is, by rubbing one ripe tomato slice daily for one month, gives clear complexion.Apply milk cream often, it makes your skin soft.Clean your face with cotton dipped in raw milk and wash the face.Rub a slice of lemon or orange daily, see how fair your skin turns. These thing actually I did.
