When one recites dhikr after Salah, is he supposed to use his right hand only or can one use both hands to help keep in count

Sometimes after finishing praying with the Salam I raise my hands & make Dua to Allah in my language (since I can’t speak Arabic). I know that dua should be said while still in the prayer but I struggle with memorizing long Arabic Duas & feared of making my prayers invalid if I say it in my language. Is that allowed?

Please tell me whether what I am doing is good or wrong: before sleeping I cup my hands, blow in it and say the 3 Quls and wipe my body. I do this three times. Then I recite Surah Al Mulk and Ayatul Kursi. To finish things off, I recite Al Kafiroon as I read a hadith about it preventing you from Shirk. Is what I am doing good? Thank you.
