body lotionI use body lotion every day for one very good reason. The thing that motivates me to apply body lotion each day after getting out of the shower is the fact that I know I have very nice skin and I would like to keep it that way for as long as I am able. My mother calls me her “silky peach.” My husband calls me his “silky wife.” They think my skin is silky because it is and has been for as long as I remember. I believe genetics has a lot to do with it because my late paternal grandmother has exquisitely smooth and wonderful skin as did my great Aunt Lilly. However I am aware that good genetics can only get me so far. I take care of my skin using good quality body lotion because I think it makes sense to look after our natural physical assets. Not using body lotion on my skin would be a messed up thing to do, a bit like starting out with a beautifully white healthy smile and not cleaning my teeth or visiting the dentist regularly.
