Simplify Your Beauty Routine

Using Body Lotion

Why you can skip it: Sweltering temperatures can make lotion act like a plastic sweat suit, heating up the skin and melting the cream into a gooey film. "Sweat transforms the consistency of lotion," says Sandra Marchese Johnson, a dermatologist in Fort Smith, Arkansas. "Using a body wash that contains hydrating ingredients, like glycerin, aloe, or petroleum jelly, while you're in the shower will suffice as both a cleanser and a hydrator, eliminating the need for any extra moisturizer."
