Hand Eczema & Dove Bar Soap???

I have seen some post's that people have eczema on their hands. I know some dermatologist tell you to use "Dove Bar Soap for Sensitive Skin-Unscented". Well I now have that problem & the one thing I hate is having soap dishes at every sink that get soap scum on them. Not to mention that the soap looks dirty after you use it. I have also heard that bar soaps can actually leave bacteria on them. I am so use to liquid soap, but "Dove" does not make an unscented liquid soap, so I did some reasearch on the web & found this recipe to make your own. All I can say is I LOVE IT !!! I have throw out the soap dishes & replace them with a liquid soap dispencer's. I thought that anyone who has this same problem might like the recipe, so here it is.

Turn A Bar of DOVE Soap Into Liquid Hand Soap Ingredients:

Equipment:

Directions:
Using a box grater, grate both bars of soap. Transfer the soap flakes into a pot and add the 4 cups of water. Turn it on low heat and dissolve the soap slowly until it becomes smooth and you don’t see any lumps.
Take off the heat and let sit overnight to cool completely. It will firm up a little, but should still be foamy and soap-like when you stir with a spoon. Using a funnel, transfer the soap to the hand pump.
Eureka! Liquid hand soap!

You may have to let it sit a little longer until it looks like pudding. I would love to hear what you think of it.
