Say that you have just gone and brought out the rubbish or gone to the toilet. What soap do you use? If you keep on using this soap, won't your hands be dry! Anybody know of any soap that doesn't cause your hands to be dry and cracky? Are liquid soaps better than soap bars?

I think that Dove bar soaps work pretty well against drying out your hands, but Bath & Body Works also has a foaming hand soap that doesn't dry your hands out.

I use Dove soap, it has moisturizers in it, and Caress is really good too. It makes your skin smooth and soft, not dry at all.

Bar soaps usually dries our skin so if you're using a bar bath soap make sure its mild or have moisturizer. Try Dove or Olay. Its the best in the market. you could also try Olive Oil Soap, If you're using a detergent soap.. opt for the mild or unbleached.

If soap causes you dry hands, just use lotion after you use soap bar or liquids! Lotion will make your hands smooth!

Use moisture / Cream soaps. You can use Dove soap. Liquid soaps are good...

Some forms of dishsoaps double for these types of soaps too... so if you wash dishes by hand and find your dish soap does not dry your hands out, you can use that for regular hand washing soap just read the directions.. They also make all purpose soaps that will work as dish soap, shampoo, or hand soap that will not dry out... - DNatureofDTrain

I think liquid soap is much better than bar soap. I use Dove soap because it has moisturizing content in it. Another one is Heno de Pravia. After washing your hands with it, applying lotion will do the trick.
