I have problem skin and my Dermatologist had suggested for general bathing to use Dove brand soap to fight dry skin as well as pusterous body acne. I always thoughdt that the leading anti-bacterial soap would be the best, was I wrong.

I woked in a Nursing home as a CNA before retiring at 21 to mental disability, and found with not only the powder in the latex/vinyl gloves and constant hand washing between patients, that Palmar's Cocoa Buter in the small jar, worked well for me. It is not a normal lotion, only that of a balm or topical type protectant for frequent handwashing. It may not work for you or others, only it woked well for me.

Also, I would get one of the lotion type soaps the othere mentioned above if frequent handwashing. There are also special post hand washing lotions that can be applied post hand washing, such made to protect hands between handwashing. Also to remember, is that it is not the maximum most hot water you are able to stand and risking burns, it is the warm water in quantity. A duration of several or 5-miute scrub with WARM water and correct soap, are ways to keep the skin from drying out and cracking frequent hand washing,

Time and eased mind can help you over come this battle--Best Wishes!
