Do you find people wash their hands and foots regularly in intervals. If it is hygine it is good. But some are addicted to it. regular washing with high power handwash and soaps is not good to our skin. Do you have any friends? Image:Pixabay.com

Some people do keep washing their hands all day long..I do, but not to the point of obsession.

It can be done when it is needed and it defend many diseases. But Obsession is another disease.

I don't know anyone related to me, or who are close friends with me that do this, but back when I was a dispatcher with Yellow Cab some of the drivers would go wash their feet in the sink etc all the time before and after they would pray. It was grouse.

I think it is good and related to religious one. And they believe in cleaning before and after pray to God.

Yes, while hygiene is important we should try to use mild soaps that don't harm us.

I wash my hands every time that it is needed. Washing too much can dry your skin, not washing can cause a lot of more serious problems.

Yes washing helps to remove the bacteria and dust from our hands and foots. Washing too much can affect the skin.
