Bathing

Oh forgot the main question… I do a mix of the above methods for back washing! I do feel I ought to be singing as I wield my back brush a la films! But as showering with washing long hair takes most of my energies… so don’t! Mind you if I did I’d scare any creepy crawlies…or anyone… near by!

Hi, how do you put body lotion on your back when you are alone?
I can reach most places but my back remains creamless😆

Never put anything on my back all my life (clothes yes, I mean in the way of lotions) why ? Mind you thinking about it I don’t put lotion anywhere on my body or face just soap and water

I've never washed my back specifically. I shower and also am in a swimming pool three times a week so am pretty sure it's clean. I've never been sucked in by the body lotion industry!

Thank you all 🙂
It was mobility issues that prompted the question.

Yep...another one here for using a backbrush. Done that throughout - ie before everyone had showers and after I finally got a shower.

I do need to scrub at it - as I've got skin that's very prone to blemishes like seborrhoic keratoses and that's part of what I do to keep it at bay as far as possible. Blimmin' things are expensive and painful to have removed (long since lost count of how many I've had to have removed over the years......).

I recently bought a long handled thing with a sponge attached on the end. The sponge has a soft side and an abrasive side.
It's brilliant!
I broke my old wooden one a few months ago.

Thankfully I can move my arms enough to do it but we do have a long handled scrubber which DH uses.

Sometimes husband. Sometimes back brush.

I have very dry skin, excema in a couple of places, so yes I need to cream my skin everyday.
