Do you have red itchy skin on your hands? Do your hands bleed? Mine would too if I didn’t use the best hand soap for sensitive skin but one of these bad hands soaps instead. With all the alcohol wipes I currently use, I would have been lucky if I only emptied one hand cream tube per day after washing my hands with any of those bad soaps. Indeed, there are drying soaps that are bad for sensitive skin. Some hand soaps dry skin even if you use a hand cream right after washing your hands. Wonder what the worst soaps for sensitive skin are? Scroll down to find hands soaps that aren’t worthy of buying online! Well, at least not if you have very sensitive skin like me.

YES, A HAND SOAP CAN CAUSE A RASH ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A SENSITIVE SKIN

Got a rash on your hands recently? I know how you feel. It itches, and it hurts. And before you know, there is a blood spritzing from your knuckles.

All thanks to that drying soap you have been using to wash your hands lately.

I’m pretty sure I would be in the same place as you right now if I didn’t stop using all these hand soaps listed below.

Here’s the thing, I have a very sensitive skin on my hands that can get damaged easily. Yes, that’s the main reason why I always wear gloves when I’m outside.

Even so, I wash my hands all the time. Perhaps even more than required in a pandemic. And with very hot water, which as you know causes a rash even faster.

Whatsoever, my hands tend to stay normal as long as I don’t use a drying soap. The only problem is knowing what soap is going to dry my hands before I use it.

Sure I have the list of the worst hand soaps for my skin. And today I’m going to share part of that list with you.

HAND SOAPS YOU SHOULDN’T BUY ONLINE IF YOU HAVE DRY SKIN

To be clear, I’m only sharing some of the bad hand soaps you can buy online with you today.

Admittedly, I couldn’t make a list of all the bad hand soaps I have ever tried because there are too many. Plus, I don’t know all the names of the bad soaps. Especially the soaps you can find in bar and restaurant toiletries. I just know the bars and restaurants I need to bring my own soap because the soap they have is too bad for my skin.

But, I did make a list of the worst hand soaps you can buy online in your favourite online drugstores. Which is where you shop for the soap these days, right?

Anyway, as said, here is the list of the worst soaps you can buy online.

DRYING SOAPS THAT ARE BAD FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Ps. Perhaps the tag worst hand soaps is a bit too harsh in some cases. I mean, it could be just me and the way I wash my hands that caused me a dry skin after I have used some of these soaps. After all, I wash my hands with very hot water and for more than a minute.

Furthermore, not all soaps are the same in every country. As you know, many brands tend to alter ingredients for each segment. In other words, they add more or less moisturising ingredients and perfume when making soaps that are sold in different regions.

Still, my sister and most of my friends agree that these hand soaps are not worthy of buying online. Or elsewhere.

THE WORST HAND SOAPS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

So, here is the list of the worst hand soaps for sensitive skin.
To be noted, all these hand soaps made my hands dry. Four out of five made my skin bleed. Furthermore, some of these bad hand soaps even caused me eczema that I got rid off only after my dermatologist prescribed me a topical antibiotic.

Ps. I ordered the list of the worst hand soaps to follow the narrative. All these hand soaps are bad. Sure not equally bad, but not worthy of buying.

#1 FA SOAPS

Again, I could start the list of the worst hand soaps for sensitive skin with any of the soaps listed since all of them caused me dry skin, but Fa is the first soap that came up in my mind.

All Fa soaps I have ever tried are bad for my skin. The liquid hand soaps, the shower wash and even the bar soap from Fa.

They are not even good enough to use it for washing my makeup brushes.

#2 AFRODITA COSMETICS SOAPS

Mentioning the makeup brushes, argan shower gel from Afrodita cosmetics is excellent for washing makeup brushes.

If only Afrodita’s soaps were good for my skin too. All Afrodita soaps cause me terrible eczema. The hand soap caused me eczema on my left ring finger and the shower wash, that sweet shower wash that smells so good one could eat, caused me an inflammation on my cleavage.

Luckily, my dermatologist prescribed me a steroid cream that helped me get rid off eczema that I got on my cleavage in a few days. But I still have a dry patch on my finger. I simply can’t get rid off no matter what I do.

#3 DOVE BEAUTY CREAM BAR

Yes, Dove Beauty Bar and Dove hand wash soap are on my list of the worst soaps for sensitive skin, too. I know, many of you must be surprised right now, but Dove is bad for my skin.

It makes my skin dry and itchy after only one wash. Plus, it smells bad, don’t you think?

#4 PALMOLIVE HAND SOAP

Another soap that’s not worthy of buying online is Palmolive. Even though Plamolive improved its formula in the last 20 years, it’s still not worthy of buying. It doesn’t smell nice, plus it drys sensitive skin. Surely, not as much as all the hand soaps listed above. Yet I can’t use Plamomive without washing my hands with a bar soap afterwards and applying this hand cream several times per day.

By the way, the double washing helps your hands stay hydrated longer even if you use a bad liquid soap. But sadly not the other way round. If you use a bad bar soap after a good liquid soap, your hands will get dry anyway.

And yes, I’m mentioning that, because the next hand soap on the list of the worst hand soaps is bar soap.

#5 NIVEA BABY BAR SOAP

Last but not least, the bar soap form Nivea I have been using for quite some time until I finally had enough of using a hand cream after every wash just to make sure my hands don’t start to bleed.

Indeed, Nivea Baby bar soap is bad for my skin. And most likely for your baby’s skin, too. In the best case, Nivea Baby bar soap is terrible only for your sink. Yes, it clogs the drain. And melts very fast.

Luckily, not all Nivea soaps are bad. The liquid Nivea Cream soap is just fine if you use it together with good bar soap. Like those from the widget below. And yes, there is a Nivea bar soap in the widget, too. Nivea bar hand soap is actually one of my favourite bar hand soaps.

NON DRYING SOAPS FOR DRY SKIN

DOUBLE WASH THE BEST HAND CREAMS FOR DRY SKIN AND THE BEST SOAPS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
