I keep my body lotion in the shower. I find that it helps me cut down on time when I apply it straight after a shower.

After I turn off the water, I just dab myself dry with a towel and quickly slather on some lotion. The extra moisture on my skin means that I don't have to spend as much time rubbing in the lotion. By the time I am done applying my facial products, all I'm left with is soft, moisturized (but not overly greasy) skin. It's especially great if you live in a mostly humid climate like Dubai.

This also works really well with body oils, too. Body oils tend to be a little bit more moisturizing for my skin when winter gets into full swing over here.
