Follow Up on "Lotion Soap"

I have used the Lotion Soap for a couple of days now and it is really helping my poor dry hands... but I have found that the soap I mixed up for the kitchen sink area has become very thin and a little watery. I continue to use it and it still "sudses" (this is not a real word..I'm fairly sure..grin ) pretty well... and it continues to leave my hands soft...

I suppose this is one of the drawbacks to the mix, but not enough of one for me to stop using it...lol

Lotion Soap....mmmm good!

I get so tired of dry hands and dry skin in the winter. Not long ago we were in a doctor's office or hospital or somewhere... anyway, after washing my hands they felt like I had just put lotion on my hands. So today I decided to see if I couldn't come up with something like that.

Since we have any number of lotions around the house (trying to find one that will work..sigh), I picked up the soap for the dispenser and some lotion we bought to try and voila'...

I filled the dispenser about 3/4 full with the soap and then finished filling it with the lotion. I stirred them together, replaced the dispenser top and then shook it really well to continue to mix the two. Felt so good when I did the experimental first try..grin It still has plenty of suds and washes the hands without leaving them feeling like sandpaper.

I don't think this will totally replace using lotion on my hands, but it will keep them from drying out completely with every wash of the hands.
