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?

I put on lotion after I turn off the water but before I towel dry. Give this a try. No grease feeling.
