A member asked:

Why do my hands absorb the soap applied when scrubbing them before i even wash off the water? i have dry skin/ eczema? is it due to this?

Likely: The skin is more interested in the water mixed with the soap. In eczema there is a possibility that trace amount of soap may be absorbed due to the impaired skin barrier. More importantly, you need to consider applying a moisturizer on your skin after washing. Avoid scented and antibacterial soap as well.
