both are nice. i personally LOVE baby oil, and i know that you can buy lotions with baby oil in them.
before you get out of the shower, turn off the water and lather baby oil all over your arms, chest/stomach, and legs. stay in for a few minutes, letting the oil soak into your skin, before you towel off. your skin will feel SO nice!
hope all is going well!

It depends on the ingredients and what type of skin you have. Baby oil is made mostly of mineral oil, so it’s very gentle, hypo-allergenic, and it moisturizes really well. Most lotions have mineral oil, vitamin e, and aloe in them. The special formulas can include everything from chamomile, retinol A, alpha hydroxy, shea butter, and etc.
Extremely dry skin would probably benefit the most from baby oil. But if you have skin that is oily and prone to have acne, use the lotion instead because the baby oil could clog pores. Most lotions are light and allow the skin to breathe. And if it has Shea or Cocoa butter it can clear up skin blemishes and dullness.

Before or after you take a shower put on some baby oil. It stays longer than lotion, and eventually you'll be able to skip a few days without using oil.

Regular lotion is by far better for your skin. Baby oil usually contains an ingredient called mineral oil, which is terrible for skin.

Here's what you do, take 2 teaspoons of baby oil and drop it in your bathwater 3-4 times a week. (Or every other day.) And try an oatmeal or milk based moisurizer. Regular lotion is fine, it just needs more applications that an intense moisturizing lotion. :)

What I do is I add baby oil to my lotion, then I don't have to worry about which one I should use.

I say lotion...I have used both. Personally I do not care for the oil cause it can be drying...i used to use both. My fav for lotion is Aveeno. It makes it your skin feel so soft and shine.

baby oil makes you more moisturized and lasts longer, but it can get messy.
