Heh, right now it's 10F and my hands are bloody and busted open from getting extremely dry and chapped after a few hours in the cold. Lotion would absolutely help right now...if I happened to own any! Alas, I am a tech nerd!

Likewise, this time of year I'm reminded by nature to buy a bottle of really good quality moisturizing shampoo. My experience has also suggested any conditioner you can buy at Walmart is a scam, but for certain heads and certain climates, spending more on the good stuff makes the difference between your hair being anemic or healthy. I switch to nice shampoo every winter and year after year the difference is night and day within a week or two.

Fabric softener on the other hand...what a waste!

Olive oil works well as a lotion as long as your skin isn't naturally super greasy.

A bottle of the most expensive olive oil is still cheaper per fluid oz. than a bottle of lotion.

Ill give the edge to coco butter derivatives over olive oil.

Yeah, the tricky part is the "naturally greasy". Also I want to keep objects I touch clean

There are mosturizing creams that are much less greasy

Aveeno is your friend, if you can get it where you live.
