Our health is the most essential asset of all. We can affirm this fact more in the wake of the pandemic. Our skin is the largest organ of our body that protects our body. We can’t agree more with the fact that the pandemic brought forth the need to keep ourselves more sanitised and hygienic. With hoardings that campaigned about maintaining hygiene and most of its talk revolving around “Wash your hands”, we became well aware of the basics to protect ourselves during the pandemic. At one point or the other, we were hell-bent on our sanitary infatuation towards hand wash and hand soaps during the initial phases of the pandemic. Though we have normalised this habit, there are a lot of consequences to the basic routine of washing your hands.

Hand wash and hand soaps became the heroes of the hygienic era but they came along with a host of skin issues. One common problem was skin drying, flaking, irritation, skin rashes, to name a few. All of us might have encountered at least one from the above, at one point or the other during this pandemic era, isn’t it? But the good news is that this industry understands this issue and has come up with an instant yet long-lasting solution to skin problems, owing to the increased use of hand wash in our daily routine. 

We are aware of the upcoming third Covid wave that is soon to flood our lives. To prevent it from touching our lives, we need to stay at home, wear our masks, vaccinate ourselves, and well, most importantly, wash our hands.
