lotioning

Rubbing in moisturizer

Lotioning is the act of applying lotion to skin.

The word appears most often as a present participle describing the process: She was lotioning her legs after the shower.

It can sound slightly awkward or playful, since moisturizing is the more standard verb for this action.
