Need suggestions for a good moisturizing hand soap!
:hi: The weather has beaten my hands up terribly because it's so dry, and the damn hand soap in the ladies' room here at work is Gojo... :rofl: (Really, it is... :shrug:) I use hand lotion, but the soap is the worst part because it's so stripping. What liquid soap would you recommend that I can keep in my desk drawer and take with me to the ladies' room? I've tried a couple of different ones but haven't been pleased. (Liquid Dial with moisturizers and Softsoap---neither did anything to help.)

Thanks! :hi:

1. Seriously, I like those new foam soap despensers...
they have in various places.

My hands are much more supple and soft since they started appearing.

5. Yes, they do!
:hi: Mine feel like sandpaper right now. Lotion helps, but the dryness of the air is not helping at all. :(

3. Bath & Body Works hand soap with shea butter.

It comes in a tall bottle that is sort of obelisk shaped. I have the Cotton fragrance. My hands get really dry in the winter. I use Neutrogena hand lotion at night too.

7. Gloves in a Bottle.
You find it at hardware stores. Handy guys use it so various chemicals don't rip the skin off our hands. It works great.

9. I remember commercials about Nowegian fishermen using Neutrogena soap
I've never used it, so I can't endorse it, but you might want to give their products a try (How can you not trust a Norwegian fisherman?)

Another thing to try is to put hand lotion on right after washing them, or getting out of the shower. The hot water opens up your pores, so there is a small window when you can get the moisturizers into your skin, rather than on it. The trick is to put it on as soon as you are done drying your hands.
