When you say you "wash" your hands, do you do a full "apply soap to all sides of hands" every time?

Personally, I rinse my hands (i.e. with only water) pretty frequently, but only wash with soap when the occasion calls for it (when arriving home, when my hands are greasy, or after sitting at the toilet), which probably averages 2-3 times per day.

On a separate note, my family doctor used some kind of antiseptic and moisturizing lotion on his hands. He said the antiseptic would tend to dry the skin, so adding a moisturizing element to it was a genius idea and whoever came up with it was probably making millions.
