      Yes. If you wash your hands too much it can irritate your skin and make it all dry and sore. Most people don’t wash their hands too much though.

      I think I do! Because I work with chemicals and biological materials, I have to wash my hands many times during the day, and so my hands are very dry and cracked. BUT that’s better than having dirty hands!
