I finished pooping and realised my liquid hand soap had run out, so I used a body soap bar to wash them. I had to go outside and use the hand soap in another bathroom to make sure my hands were clean.

Can you use body soap to wash hands properly?

    I hate the fatty feeling of moistened hand skin. The occasional crack is annoying but I would never switch it for moisturizing.

      I hate the greasy feeling as well. What I did was find a lotion that absorbed quickly and didn’t feel oily just after a few minutes from applying. Took a while of trial and error, but once I found a good one, I stuck with it.

      Me too, but coconut oil absorbs quickly and completely enough that I find I can suffer through it until it feels normal again.

      I had to start, because I moved somewhere much drier than I’m used to, and my skin hurt and itched all the time until I started moisturising a little.
