There are arguments for, and arguments against washing with an antibacterial.
One group says that it kills all the germs on your hands, which must be good.
The other group says that it doesn't kill all the bacteria, and that by washing, a person cannot kill all the bacteria, so those bacteria that survive make more bacteria like themselves that are very resistant to the antibacterial.
The point is to wash off bacteria with hand soap, I think, so they aren't as easily transported to your nose or eyes, which are very susceptible to infection.

Yes and no. hands have good bacteria on them all the time and bad bacteria too. When you wash your hands with soap and water this is important because it helps greatly reduce the amount of bacteria, viruses, etc., on your hands. It's not really the soap that does the germ destroying, it's the washing of hands with warm water. The water is the most important ingredient Caress Velvet Bliss isn't considered an "antibacterial" soap although using it with water does kill germs on your hands.

Is it a good idea to use an anti-bacterial soap when you wash your hands?
It is not necessary to use antibacterial hand soap to thoroughly wash your hands. The real way to properly wash your hands is under warm/hot water (hot as in not burning you) with a good amount of soap, washing for at least 20 seconds. (Singing the Happy Birthday song at a normal pace twice is sufficient.) There may be some science to prove that it kills more germs if the soap is antibacterial, however it is based on preference. *** I don't recommend the use of anything labeled antibacterial. At best, antibacterial soap is pointless. At worst, it creates superbugs. First, I'll address the pointlessness. You use the soap and kill the bacteria on your hands. Then five seconds later you start touching stuff: doorhandles, light switches, walls, books, tables, game consoles, stereos, televisions, etc...all of which transfer bacteria onto your hands. You are literally bacteria-free for a span of mere seconds. Now the superbugs. No soap kills 100% of bacteria. Those that survive do so because they are tolerant to the chemicals in the soap. The survivors multiply rapidly into large populations of bacteria that snicker at your attempts to kill them with antibacterial soap.
