Hand wash advice

You might see hand washing as just one of life’s necessities, but it’s much more than that. Think about it: our hands go through a lot – in fact, they’re probably our most used body part. When they’re not deep in the sink scrubbing dishes or washing our babies’ hair, they’re holding us up on the bus, helping us perfect our eyeliner, typing away on a keyboard… the list is endless. They definitely deserve some extra TLC. So, how do we do that? By making the process of hand washing as enjoyable as possible. Here’s how to wash – no, pamper – your hands… the Dove way.

    Timing is key.

    First things first: proper hand washing should last at least 20 seconds, making sure you’ve massaged every part with your chosen hand washing product

    Avoid dryness.

    Find that washing your hands a lot leaves your skin dry and tight? Wash hands with a product that combines cleansing with moisturizers, like Dove Shea Butter and Warm Vanilla Foaming Hand Wash. It’s formulated with 5x more moisturizers than the leading hand wash* to help protect your skin’s natural moisture level. It contains our ¼ moisturizing cream to keep your hands hydrated and soft, plus a pH-neutral formulation that’s mild on your skin

    Choose beautiful scents.

    Don’t forget that it’s not just about what your hands need, but what you want, too – so choose a hand washing product which offers you a little something extra. Dove Coconut Water and Almond Milk Foaming Hand Wash with its tropical coconut water and almond milk fragrance is the perfect pick-me-up on a gloomy day – you’ll be looking for excuses to get your hands dirty

    Dry carefully.

    When you’re drying your hands post hand washing, try to use a fresh towel. If possible, keep a pile of hand towels in the bathroom and wash them often. Not only will they stay fluffy and soft longer (prolonging that pampered feeling), but they’re less likely to spread any  germs, too.

    Leave hands hydrated.

    To keep your hands beautifully hydrated and soft, follow with a good hand lotion. Keep it by the sink so you will always remember to use it. And if you’re on-the-go, try Dove Nourishing Hand Sanitizer – it’s 99.99% effective against germs and delivers eight hours of moisturization. What more could you want?
