Washing Hands

I wash hands only enough to be sanitary. I would like to wash them more often but my hand to get very often after washing them. My girl is a teacher and hands are pretty bad. I want to avoid this. I've tried Purell with Moisturizer. It seems like its working.

My issue is that main ingredient is alcohol which causes dryness I believe.

Alcohol is what kills the germs, so that's kind of unavoidable. There are other hand sanitizers out there that aren't alcohol based, but my understanding is that their efficacy hasn't been confirmed to be as good as alcohol.

I dated a handshaking instructor myself, once. You never really knew where her hands had been, but the perks were nice.

It's called keeping moisturizer somewhere near you so you can moisturize after cleaning. I get very dry hands so I do this. I have Khiels Ultimate Strength Hand Salve in my office drawer.

I also have purel which doesn't dry me out too much.

i work at a hospital and it seems like i either wash or sanitize my hands 100 times a day (probably more like 30). i found that using a moisturizer after every few cleanings works better than sanitizers and soaps that are "moisturizing."
