What do you wash your hands with - soap, liquid handwash or something else?

I'm just curious about how you wash your hands. I've always used normal soap and water to wash my hands. Do any of you use liquid soap/handwash? I just bought some of it and it smells really good. What about handrubs and other stuff available - do any of you use it on a daily basis?

In the bathrooms we have the liquid handsoap - is is vanilla honey or something. In the kitchen we just have dish soap. Depending what I have on my hands, depends on which soap I use.

Do you use dish soap for your hands - isnt that bad for your hands?

Doesn't really bother my hands. We use dawn, I don't find it any more drying than normal hand soap.

I always use liquid handwash... but if i run out of it... then i resort to using regular soap... i don't know why but i am so very used to using liquid handwash... i think they are more sanitary... since the liquid that i get from the container will only be used by me... unlike the regular soap...

I didnt think about it that way - it makes sense! I think I may end up switching over to liquid for good!

I always use liquid soap. Bar soap sits in the dish and leaves a film. Not only that when you have an 11 year old boy washing his hands, even the soap can get pretty dirty.

I use liquid soap! But when I'm on the go. Like for instance im assigned to do field work I use hand sanitizers like purell. It smells really good and it looks credible in it's claims of cleaning or hands. I also love the fact that is in gel form so with just a little drop you can clean both of your hands.

I use liquid soap or soap with a moisturiser in it, normal soap can dry your hands out and cause skin irritations. I just have to add never put vasaline on your hands I tryed it cause my hands were really dry and I ended up getting heat rash on my hands because the skin couldnt breath. it was soooo itchy and hot, dont try it.

organic chemistry told us that soap would surround dirts by forming micelles around them,then it would be washed off by water.Any soap is useful

I have liquid soaps that foam at the kitchen and bathroom sinks. They smell great and are easy to use. I always hated the soap scum caused by bar soaps.
