Applied that way, they don't usually leave a greasy feel, and you'll be more able to gauge just how much you need to use.You might also consider using a different soap.  My dermatologist told me to try using a milder soap like Dove, Tone, or Neutrogena, all of which I've tried and all of which do alleviate some of the problem.  Some of the soaps you get in fancy hotels have similarly mild formulations, and you can find them (or close equivalents) in bath stores.However, most of the soap people are using these days are liquid soaps- often with anti-bacterials which can be harsh- so you might have some problems there.Still, there is hope.  Neutrogena (AGAIN!) offers a mild liquid body wash which could help you out there, as could body washes by other companies.</blockquote>
