Upgrade Your Hand Care Routine With Our Dry Skin Saviours

In need of a saviour for dry and cracked hands? You’re not alone. It's been a long year of frequent washing and dousing our skin in alcohol-rich hand sanitiser, so it’s no wonder our hands are starting to feel the consequences. But, this doesn’t have to be the case. While washing our hands is an essential and important step to prevent spreading germs, there are things we can do to manage dryness. Read our tips below for long lasting smooth and velvety-soft hands. 

Step 1: Hand Soap 

While hand sanitisers are a great way to get rid of germs, they often contain high levels of alcohol and nasty chemicals that strip the skin of its natural barrier, resulting in dryness and sensitivity. Although great for on the go, it's best to stick to moisturising soaps when at home to combat the drying effects of sanitiser. Our range of gentle hand soaps are formulated with natural antibacterial properties and soothing ingredients to clean hands, while protecting their natural barrier.
