  • I wouldn't worry. Just use what works for you.

    There is another thread about toothpaste, so you are not alone in finding it hard to find one you get on with.

    Soaps are another thing. I use Coop own brand vegetable soap as it has nothing in it like colour or scent.

    Clothes washing can also be an issue. I use Fairy non-bio, have done for decades, along with their fabric softener.

    You might want to consider if you are hydrated and drinking enough as that contributes to dry skin. Diet may also contribute.
