I thought I was exempt from having those kinds of mornings. You know, a morning when you anticipate getting slammed at work and need to be showered, dressed and properly caffeinated, lickety-split.

Unfortunately, no one gets a pass. Not even when there are only thirty-five footsteps separating your bed from your desk.

I purchased Nivea In-Shower Smoothing Body Lotion weeks ago, but the bottle sat on my bathroom counter untouched for at least a month. I wouldnโ€™t remember to try it until it was too late, and I was already out of the shower.

It was one of those kinds of mornings, when my six-week overdue book was due or else, that I finally grabbed it in a frantic rush to shower. Super dry skin means I canโ€™t skip moisturizer without paying for it later with tight, scaly skin. I hoped applying an in-shower version would shave precious time off my grooming routine. Following instructions, I applied it to wet skin, avoiding the bottoms of my feet (the bottle cautions that it shouldnโ€™t be used on the soles of your feet because of slipping concerns). I rinsed beneath the shower spray and then dried off with a towel.

The lotion left my skin feeling instantly soft and lightly moisturized. No greasy film or stickiness. Even my usually rough, knees and elbows were silky to the touch. Still, I kept a bottle of my thick, creamy moisturizer on stand-by just in case light moisture wasnโ€™t enough. I fully expected to have to slather it on by noon when my skin reverted to snakeskin. It never happened. Moreover, the lotion kept Niveaโ€™s promise to leave skin soft, smooth and moisturized for 24-hours.

The convenience factor combined with the fact Nivea In-Shower Smoothing Body Lotion does exactly what it says has changed my grooming routine and earned it a permanent place in my shower. I bought it at Walgreens for $8.

    1. Same question here. I don’t want my next bath to have a layer of moisture lotion on top of the water.

      1. Hi Ginger! There is a warning on the bottle about it, and I was kinda paranoid. However, I didn’t experience a layer of product at the bottom of my shower, which I clean once a week.
