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.

      I support you on the moisturizing thing, but can’t follow you down the coconut oil road. I can’t stand the smell of coconut. Being someone who burns easily in the sun, I chalk it up to many years of smelling shitty fake coconut scented sunblock products.

      As a massage therapist, I have to wash my hands constantly. During the colder months I have to moisturize or my skin cracks. Whatever unscented product that doesn’t leave me leaving greasy fingerprints all over the place is usually good enough until I wash my hands again in another hour.
