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?

What most people forget (myself included) is to moisturise after washing, even your hands. Just a bit of coconut oil like you’ve probably got in your kitchen is enough, you don’t need to grease up like you’re going to the Olympics or anything. Coconut oil is absorbed very quickly and completely by the skin, making it perfect for some quick moisture to keep your skin from drying out so it stays supple (also why it’s used as a “carrier” oil in many topical medications, it ensures swift transdermal delivery of the drug).
Dry skin itches, and because it’s inflexible it cracks and bleeds more easily. Your skin is your largest organ; take good care of it and keep it moist.
I hate the fatty feeling of moistened hand skin. The occasional crack is annoying but I would never switch it for moisturizing.
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.
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.
