Like John said, it does not hurt to add a little protection, people moisturize all the time.
The hair I was refering to Ed, was Vellus hair or "peach fuzz".
Vellus hair is a very soft and short hair that grows in most places on the human body in both sexes. It is usually less than 2mm long and the follicles are not connected to sebaceous glands. It is most easily observed in women and children.
You have to be more carefull when doing a silicone casting.
As for the rest of the body, I was refering to dry skin especially the hands.
Now you have to excuse me, I have to go shave my back...
