Hotel soap often feels weird due to its ingredients. These soaps typically contain stronger detergents and fragrances designed for all skin types, which can result in a rougher texture compared to what you use at home. They may also have higher pH levels, making them feel less moisturizing. Opt for bottled lotion available in the room to counteract dryness.
