That seems very brief and unthrough for washing hands. NHS pratices is that you wet your hands, apply soap, rub the soap into your palms, between your fingers, then your nails and your wrists then rinse off. Then dry with a kitchen roll. It's how I've been taught, even if it's frequent.

So you're supposed to get soap 1st then wet your hands? I've always wet my hands first, turn off the water, lather for 10 seconds, then rinse off.

My hands get so dry after washing with soap or even just water. In the winter time it gets so hellishly dry and cracked.

[KinguNoKin]

Same here. It feels like I have paper instead of skin.

@MaicoMoon i strongly recommend trying Elizabeth Arden's cold cream, if you can. It have helped me really much, and unlike many moisturizers, it keeps the skin moist for a long time :)
