    Ah the joys of that green jelly like stuff that could clean my dad's hands when I was kid (he was a mechanic).

    I would suggest something like fairy liq for its degreasing properties BUT if this is a hormonal thing causing your skin to be greasy keep trying to wash it off may just encourage more production?? Have you tried talc?

  • I keep washing my hands then 10 - 15 mins later they are greasy again. I have noticed my face and hiar is goning the same way. I think i'm going to find a big box and hide init for a few weeks and see if it all gose away

    I notice the scan pic for your avatar. Are you pregnant? If so then I would assume it's definately hormonal and probably not much you can do about it. I think keep washing is likely to make it come back - have you dried wiping your hands on a cloth? Sorry sounds lame but can't think of anything else to suggest.
