I was always told it would fuck up your hands. Does it?
In my personal experience, it absolutely does. Only time I've ever had seriously painful dry skin on my hands was when I was out of hand soap for a week. But I do wash my hands frequently.
It makes mine dry as fuck, but you can always moisturize with lotion after
I'd rather buy handsoap for a few cents than moisturize my hands every time.
Not in my experience. I guess it might depend on the brand or affect individuals differently, but I've been using grocery store off-brand dish soap for this for like 10 years and never had a problem.
