Does Lotion actually make your skin dry?

Question:

I was just curious. I am not asking if it exactly dries out your skin but if you use lotion once, after 24 hours it will become dry again which makes you need to use more lotion.

I don't use lotion, I only use bodywash and soap in shower. My skin is not dry or rough but its not exactly smooth, its just natural skin.

If I do find that it actually does make you need to apply more, I won't use it but if it just makes your skin more smooth I might consider it if the answers are good.

any personal expierences can you please share them?

Answers:
depends on what kind you use.. You need some with oil or aloe
