cleaning the house without using protective gloves is a big mistake. Why? Well, Dishwashing liquid for example, is alkaline so it's rough for the skin. Hand skin has a pH between 4 and 6.5, which in turn is slightly acidic.
Take Care of your Hands ! Dishwashing liquid is strongly alkaline to it dissolve the oil, grease and dirt but at the same time is toxic for skin, eliminating on it and the protective acid layer. The same things it happens with the soaps that will prematurely your age skin. And speaking of soap , even the brand as Camay, Dial, Irish Spring, Ivory, Palmolive or Zest, extremely alkaline, with a pH ranging between 9 and 10 Dove is the easiest, with a PH only 7. Also is important to understand that soap with PH 8 is 10 times more alkaline than a pH of 7 so be carreful !
