Even with a gentler soap, the way you wash your hands matters. Start with lukewarm water instead of hot water, because hot water removes more of the skin's natural oils. Wet your hands, work the soap into a lather, and clean all surfaces of your hands for about 20 seconds, including between fingers and under nails. Rinse thoroughly, because leftover soap can feel sticky or leave a film.
After rinsing, pat your hands dry with a towel rather than rubbing them. Rubbing can irritate the skin and make it feel tighter. If your hands tend to feel dry, apply a moisturizer while the skin is still slightly damp. This helps hold in the water left on the skin. The lanolin in this soap forms a light protective film, but it is not a substitute for a moisturizer, especially if you wash your hands many times a day.
For the soap itself, keep it on a draining soap dish so it does not sit in water. A wet bar softens and dissolves faster, and a soggy bar is less pleasant to use. This soap is designed for frequent handwashing, so it is a practical choice for a sink or shower, but the drying effect of repeated washing can still be reduced by using a moisturizer after each wash.
