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.

4Choose 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.

5Dry 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.

6Leave 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?
