Soap:
You may have a favorite soap that lathers well, is scented and leaves your skin squeaky clean but if it leaves you feeling itchy and dry skinned, you might want to reconsider its usage. Extreme and unnecessary hand washing or usage of soap might leave your void of its natural oils resulting in "dishpan hands" wherein you'll have dry, chapped skin which when left untreated for long can leave the skin cracking and bleeding.
Soap can also irritate the skin in a few ways. First- you can have an allergic response to an ingredient used in the soap. Even though you've used it for many years. Second - he soap is robbing your skin of natural oils and moisture that keep your skin healthy and elastic, leaving you itchy. So substitute your soap or mild cleansers that do not harm your skin.
