Hand and foot creams
Frequent use of hand soap not only removes dirt from your skin but also strips away the natural oils. Over time, this can cause dry and damaged skin. To protect the skin, it is advisable to use hand or foot creams that are applied to the skin after washing.

Nourishing creams contribute to hand care
When choosing an effective product, more is at play than just combating potentially pathogenic microorganisms. In practice, hand cleaning and disinfection occur multiple times a day, often leading to common complaints, namely dryness and in the worst case, skin damage.
Washing hands with regular hand soap removes visible dirt and some of the microorganisms present. Additionally, during washing with this soap, the natural oils on the hands are loosened and washed away. Skin oils are an important part of the skin's protective barrier function; excessive hand washing leads to the deterioration of this protective barrier. The damage to this barrier is further exacerbated by the mechanical stress exerted on the hands by the use of a (paper) towel. Hands dry out and become more susceptible to damage.
It is recommended to use a hand cream daily or several times a day for proper skin care in response to the aforementioned complaints. A hand cream nourishes and forms a protective layer on the skin, preventing unpleasant issues that can affect work tasks and lead to unnecessary high costs.
