Nikita explains that the skin's pores are in the most open condition and ready to receive nutrients just after the body is cleaned. This brief moment is the perfect time to lock in the skin's natural moisture so that it doesn't easily become dry and dull.

"So I usually apply lotion about 4 to 5 minutes after showering, when the skin is still kind of damp, the pores are open, we like preserve that moisture with lotion," said the actress born in 1994.
