Affect = verb
Effect = noun

99% of the time. That always made it pretty obvious to me about which one to use.

Here's another important one:

It's = always a contraction (it is, it has, etc)
Its = if it's not a contraction

It's tricky, because in the case of most possessives you use an apostrophe, but not with "it".

So:

It's putting the lotion on its skin.
