Sandalwood & Cocoa Butter Hand Wash Bundle

The proper technique involves wetting hands with clean running water, applying soap, lathering and scrubbing all surfaces including the backs of hands, between fingers, and under nails for at least 20 seconds, rinsing thoroughly under clean running water, and drying with a clean towel or air dry.

Hands should be washed frequently, especially before eating; after using the toilet; after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; before and after caring for someone who is sick; before and after treating a cut or wound; after touching an animal or animal waste; after handling garbage; and when they are visibly dirty.

Hand washing is crucial because it removes germs that can cause a variety of illnesses. Regular handwashing can prevent the spread of respiratory and diarrheal infections from person to person.

Hand sanitisers can be used as an alternative if soap and water are not available but are generally less effective at removing certain types of germs like norovirus. They do not remove harmful chemicals or heavy metals. Washing with soap and water is always preferred when possible.

Any standard liquid, bar, foam, or powder soap is adequate for hand washing. Antibacterial soaps have not been proven to be more effective at preventing illness than regular soap. Its more about how you wash rather than what you wash with.
