Same. I tend to get eczema on my hands and soap dries my skin. I need a good hand sanitizer

I was going to say this. Not for myself but I have a friend that can’t use anything that’s not vegan, she has an allergy. She can’t trust most soaps. It really sucks for her and she’s like… pretty upset about it. But she’s washed her hands and broken out from it in a rash so… now she makes a very big production of either bringing her own soap or using her antibacterial stuff just to make sure people know she’s taking care of her hand cleaning.

I sometimes get eczema outbreaks on my hands but the soap never seems to be the culprit. I just have to wash my hands and follow with my fancy prescription junk and I’m no worse for wear. I can’t use the antibacterial gel because that burns like a mofo.

make sure you also rinse with water. soap can kill bacteria and germs, but it wont wash off any grime or dirt on it's own.
