Maximize Lotion Application

Mommies, ever wonder if you can stretch the use of your lotion? Or are you thinking of replacing your current pick for a more effective one? Before you do that, you could try this one first - a trick to get more out of your favorite lotion.

Rub some oil or lotion of your choice on your hands and wrap your hands with plastic for 5 to 10 minutes. The heat trapped by the plastic activates the moisturizing effects of the oil or lotion.

The longer you keep your hands inside the plastic, the better (but I understand if you want to get it over as quickly as possible - mommies are always on the go and hardly have a minute to spare).

Here's another way for the feet. After applying the lotion at our feet, wear socks :)
