A member asked:
Can you over use lotion when you have dry skin?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: You can never use too much. However you don't want to be too slippery and oily either from a practical point of view. Even more important than the frequency, apply the lotion within 3 minutes after bathing to keep the water in the skin longer.

No: But if the dryness persists despite using usual amount of the lotion you may wish to discuss it with your doctor to rule out a skin disorder.
