It’s because lotion is NOT a moisturizer: Use THIS instead to effectively moisturize

The purpose of lotion is to hydrate the skin, not to moisturize it. True, your skin will be moisturized after you use lotion - but only for a moment. It evaporates rapidly at room and body temperature. Therefore, lotion cannot moisturize effectively because it doesn’t contain any oils to prevent water evaporation.

After 16 years of chronic eczema, I finally discovered why lotions aren’t effective moisturizers

Lotions are 95%+ water. No matter how much lotion you apply, it quickly evaporates from your skin because it's pretty much just water. And when this water evaporates, it strips your skin's natural moisture too - just like when sweat evaporates. Without anything to prevent water evaporation, your skin will remain dry.
