For example...
I have been washing my hands quite a lot and lately, I realized my hands are getting more and drier by the day. The other day my knuckles bled just by making a fist and I didn't want to use in of the commercial moisturizers since whatever it has in it was going to get right into my system since I had a minute open wound

Regular soap strips the skin of its natural oils, so yes, over washing will cause that
A gentle soap will suffice. I prefer natural lotions for my hands, or oils that penetrate the skin better.

Apple cider vineger is a great general detoxifyer, olive oil can be used in whats known as oil pulling which is holding oil in your mouth for a couple of minutes once a day. This is said to draw impurities out of the body. Honey can be used for all manner of infections, scabs, open wounds bed sores ectra. Once I scrapped my knee from falling off a bike and picked at the wound it got infected and it looked like I might need antibiotics (which should always be a last resort) as a shot in the dark I slathered it with honey it was literally fixed over night. It's a great general purpose skin protector and natural antibiotic that everyone probably has in their homes.

Omg Olive oil is great for the nails!
If you get a little container and constantly reapply it on your nails/massaging it on your nails every day, your nails get stronger and your cuticles get neater.

I've heard a lot on the cleaning uses of vinegar. I'm leery on trying many of them out since I worry about gassing myself because some of the tips involve mixing it with other substances. But nuking a bowl of vinegar is good for cleaning microwaves and boiling it in pots & pans works well also. For other things I've been using cleaners by seventh generation since they're a lot more gentle on the lungs and body.

I've had a hunch that olive oil could be used as a moisturizer but I never really tried it. It's not as greasy as lotions so if it can then that's a big plus. Lotions don't work well for me anyway, and if I'm suffering of chronic dryness from cleaning or something then using it ends up having a rebound effect and gives me dermatitis. My strategy is to avoid the drying out in the first place by wearing gloves, or the lowest effective dose of soap if I have to wash my hands.
