Where does lotion go after it is rubbed into your hands?

I have always wondered how your body gets rid of lotion after you rub it into your hands. It has to go somewhere. does anyone know?Where does lotion go after it is rubbed into your hands?
you have an outer layer of skin and an under layer of skin. when you put on lotion it goes into the inner layer first and then the remainder of it goes onto the outer layer. that's why sometimes if you have put on too much your skin can't absorb it all and you have to gently wipe off the extra lotion.Where does lotion go after it is rubbed into your hands?
Wow. Good question. I never thought about that before.


The top layer of your skin is called the epidermis and it's nothing but dead skin cells getting ready to slough off. This is what absorbs the lotion, simply hydrating the dead cells.


Some lotions are said to go into the pores. Don't worry it can't be absorbed into the lower layers of skin and can't get into the bloodstream.


There is a class of drugs that can be absorbed into your bloodstream using a special chemical called a DMSO.


Thanks for the question. Sometimes it's good to make me think.
It gets absorbed into your skin. But with Sunscreens it is important not to rub too much because you might end up rubbing it off and then you will not get the full SPF protection.
