Completely agree. The only post-shower routine I have is to put a pea-sized amount of whatever skin lotion is available (ideally not oily, the hotel ones are usually perfect), and just apply it on my face. If I don't do it, I feel my skin stretch and get very dry.

Another thing I've been trying is after shaving, put a first layer of high quality Aloe Vera gel. Then once it starts drying out and stretch the skin (usually 60-120 seconds), then put the moisturizing lotion. Good results so far.

Why? No idea, just felt right.
