Why does washing your hands make them so dry?
Every wash strips away a little of what keeps skin comfortable. That does not matter much if you wash your hands twice a day, but at home with small children, in the kitchen, in a care job or during cold and flu season, it adds up quickly. By the evening your hands can feel tight and look dull, and the hand cream has to do all the work.
A milder soap helps from the start. The Aloe Vera Gentle Cleansing Soap is a cream soap rather than a harsh gel. According to LR, it cleanses the hands particularly mildly while caring for them and moisturising. Aloe vera gel makes up 38% of the formula and is the first ingredient on the list, and organic calendula extract is added for moisture.
It works just as well by the kitchen sink as in the bathroom, and it pairs naturally with the Aloe Vera Soft Hand Cream, which contains the same organic calendula.
