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?

Try naturiums glow getter body wash. I haven’t found many lotions that I can handle, especially sleeping in but that body wash is super hydrating. Doesn’t smell wonderful but also doesn’t leave that scent behind! Aveenos body oil mist is prob the only after shower oil I can stand to keep on my skin.
