Do you have to wash it all off once you come in? I noticed the lotion can be left on? Thanks Marilyn

This is a good product I leave I left it on all day with no problems; no comments from my spouse about foul odor

I wore it on vacation in Costa Rica and Panama. It has lotions in it to soften the skin. I do not think, in my opinion, that it needs to be removed once inside. Then again, it is insect repellent so probably should be washed off when it no longer serves the intended purpose. The original purpose of Skin-So-Soft was a scented lotion that happens to repel bugs. I hope this feedback helps. The least repulsive smelling bug spray I know of (in my opinion).

I don't have sensitive skin, but if I know there's a mosquito in the room or I seem to be getting bit at night, I'll even put it on before I sleep and be ok. I've also left it on all day with no issues and showered off at night. It seems to be fine either way. I've been using it for over a year now.

Good question. We have done it both ways--washed and not, and don't seem to suffer any adverse effects. It is a little sticky-feeling, but it smells great. :)

I apply it after my morning shower, with lotion, and then I apply it at night on my achy spots. I don't see any need to wash it off unless it bothers you.

I can leave it on if I don't anticipate getting hot; it doesn't bother me at all and probably helps to prevent skin from drying out in cold, dry air. But if I will be in a hot, humid environment it needs to come off or it will make me uncomfortable and perspire even more. It will not come off with water alone; you need to use soap.

Definitely wash it off. I wouldn't even do it after 8 minutes. I would start with 1 minute and do it gradually more every time you try to get your skin used to it.

No. It is a one or two use product without washing. You would definitely have to re-apply after washing. This was one of my biggest issues with this product.

I use mine in the morning and have not noticed any stains. The lotion absorbs quickly so stains might not be an issue.

No, but I wiped it, mostly to get the germs off. The color is good in covering spots. I suppose if it becomes very dirty I will try to wash it by hand, what's to lose?

No not at all and if it does happen to rub off it washes out. I even use it on my hands, just needs to dry to not come off. This is a great product and I use it daily. So glad I found it, my legs look so natural and flawless, I love to wear skirts so it's a perfect solution since I don't tan any more in the sun. Enjoy!

I put on the clean cloth and wash it while shower. Then after shower, I had another same product but cream and I put on it. Everyday, you will notice it gone by three days!

Anything washes off, I suppose. I think it a very good moisturizing lotion but likely you will need to put more on if you wash your hands soon after applying it. I use it twice a day and it keeps my hands from drying out.

I usually just put it all over and its made so you can put it on your face too. I blend it down my arms and then take my gloves off and rub it into my hands like lotion. Then I take the stuff on the inside of my hands off with windex. It would leave a tone change but unless someone really paid attention I don't think they would notice.

After it dries is is absorbed and doesn't feel tacky. You reapply every day, and it is not as though it accumulates on your skin. No need to wash it off.

After a day once its set in to your skin. It doesnt just wash off I would only use this on my face and neck. If your going to put it on your whole body use lotion first then apply the sunless tanner for even application. I used it the night before a boat party and it stayed on. boat party approved

Actually it makes a fairly thick coating and you don't have to wash it off if you want to do other things. I only use it for working with stuff I don't want to stick to my hands. So after done I wash it off. It is not a hand lotion for softer hands, although it will help to protect your hands from icky stuff. So while softer hands may be a side benefit it is not for hand care - but hand protection.

You don't HAVE to, BUT - I left it on every night for about a week, and my skin started to get really itchy, dry and red. My skin even started to burn a little. It also left a little filmy residue on my legs, so it would probably recommend washing off after 20 minutes.

There is no need to wash prior to use. I have had this product on both my full and queen beds for years. Always make sure to wash in hot water as that will kill the dust mites. Also when drying it is best to check on it, as you will need to move it around every 10 minutes or so to have it completely dry.

It doesn't stain them, but it does get them dirty temporarily. I noticed all my marks came out with a wash. I really like the lotion though, it works for me!
