applying lotion
Rubbing in moisturizer
Applying lotion is the act of spreading a moisturizing or therapeutic cream onto skin, typically by rubbing it in with the hands.
The phrase appears in instructions, skincare routines, and contexts where the method matters: Apply lotion immediately after showering while skin is still damp.
The gerund form emphasizes the process rather than a single completed action.
