Scented products are hard on me, also.  There are few I can use.  Most 
laundry soaps and scents are a no-go.  The only soap that's worked well 
for me is a budged Mexican brand of powder soap, called "Foca".  It 
comes in a blue bag with a baby seal on it.  Our water is soft, so a 
little bit of soap goes a long way.

Funny, raw meats don't bother my hands, but potatoes are the *worse*. 
My hands are so painfully itchy after dicing up potatoes if I'm not 
rather careful.

I don't wear rubber gloves, I find them clunky and difficult to work in. 
  Either way, I don't put bleach in my dishwater, so it's not an issue 
for me.  I only use a little bit of Dawn soap, which is one of the only 
things I won't buy off-brand.  It's easy on the skin and, and apparently 
the baby ducks too, heh.
