HAND HYGIENE & CARE ESSENTIALS
DURING LOCKDOWN HYGIENE HAS BEEN MORE PRESENT THAN EVER.
IN PARTICULAR, THERE HAS BEEN A SPECIAL FOCUS ON HANDS, WHICH ARE AN IDEAL ECOSYSTEM FOR THE GROWTH OF BACTERIA AND OTHER MICROORGANISMS.
A CLEAN HAND IS A CARING HAND
Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important measures we can take to avoid getting sick and pass germs to other people… it´s literally in our hands!
Washing hands can in fact:
- Reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases (i.e. colds)
- Reduce the incidence of intestinal diseases (diarrheal infections)
- Reduce antimicrobial resistance
HANS ALSO REQUIRE CARE AND PROTECTION
As much as hand washing is imperative , it is also important to give your hands some TLC. Overwashing and an excessive use of cleansing gels and hydroaloholic sanitizeres can in fact impoverish the hydrolipidic film and damage the epidermal barrier.
For this reason, it is advisable to follow washing with an emollient and repairing treatment.
