Hand Wash

The importance of hand washing

Did you know that many diseases spread due to improper hand washing? From simple colds to more serious viral infections, proper hand washing is a basic hygiene habit that can significantly impact your family's health. Regular use of a disinfectant hand wash and following hand washing best practices can naturally kill germs and reduce your risk of becoming unwell.

Proper hand washing procedure

For the most effective protection, it’s crucial to wash your hands properly. First, wet your hands with warm or lukewarm tap water. Then, turn off the tap and apply a generous amount of your favourite organic hand wash, gel, or foaming hand wash. Rub your hands together to lather them, taking care to scrub the backs of your hands, palms, between your fingers, and under your nails for at least 20 seconds. To finish, rinse your hands under the tap until clean.

Cleanse and hydrate your skin

Not all hand washes are created equally. Many antibacterial hand washes contain potentially harmful chemicals that strip your skin of essential oils and moisture, leaving it dry, cracked, and irritated. For a healthy choice that doesn’t compromise on performance, opt for a natural hand wash that uses ingredients like Aloe Vera and Chamomile to nourish and soothe your skin as it cleanses.
