Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion all over my body especially hands.
Lab series Age Rescue Lotion (I have been using it since 25. I do not know why. I am afraid if I suddenly stop using it, my face will look old LOL)
I dont use cologne because it makes me dizzy; plus I shower before I go to bed. Putting cologne is useless..

Anti-bacterial "deodorant"= homemade proprietary blend of 50/50 Hibiclens+water lightly scented w/Obsession spritzed on hairy parts
Listerine mouthwash
Talcum powder wherever I've sweated as this whole idiocy takes me forever!
..and this does not include if i am applying any makeup.

Of course I smell subtly fantastic and receive many compliments so I guess it's worth it.
That reminds me of a woman I work with. The whole hall way in front of her office smells like perfume and made other people feel sick (it can be tough on an empty stomach in the mornings). Every time I went to the bathroom, I smelled her perfume in there and it was suffocating. We had to tell her to tone it down.

If I had to choose between her super strong perfume smell and the coworker who only showers every second day, I am not sure which one I would choose. Sweat is gross but it doesn't make me feel so sick like perfume.

How do y'all get away with not moisturizing?

I drink tons of water and eat fruits and veggies, but my skin will dry and crack without moisturizer.
It's even worse now my thyroid is gone.

Perfume should be ONE spritz you walk into. Not some bath.
Like you should not be able to smell me if you're not right up on me.

Where did your thyroid go?

I think it depends on each person with the moisturizing. I don't need any either but try to put it when I think about it.

None, I shower to become clean. After being cleaned, why cover myself with petroleum?

I use deodorant and occasionally lotion to moisturize. I use sunscreen in summer. My husband likes my natural and clean scent. No need to use perfume unless I am dressing up for a night out/party.

I apply body lotion all over every day.

I only use 1 spritz of cologne, but people smell it from several feet away.

I have attracted unwanted attention due to this .

Deodorant
Heavy-duty Aveeno lotion on my legs if I have shaved. Otherwise I get little red bumps.

I don't wear makeup or "beauty products."

I live in a very humid and hot place.
