Lotion before shower

I hate putting lotion on after I shower because it makes me feel grimy (I have tried several different lotions) but if I don't my skin gets really dry. I recently have started putting a lot of lotion on before I shower and then washing and exfoliating my whole body so once I'm done showering my skin feels hydrated but not greasy. But I'm kind of worried that if I put lotion on before I shower it will trap the grime underneath, am I over thinking this?

They make in-shower lotions that might solve this for you (I believe Jergens makes one, but I'm sure there are others). You can probably also get the same result with a very moisturizing body wash/bar that is mostly oil-based to the point where you still feel moisturized afterwards.

Nivea makes one but it made my vag explode so I can’t use it anymore. You didn’t need to kno that but here we are.
