The Best Soap for Hands You Wash All Day
If you're a nurse, a cook, a hairdresser, or a mom, you probably wash your hands dozens of times a day. All that washing can leave hands dry, rough and even cracked. Here's what helps.
Pick a Gentle Soap
Many hand soaps use sulfates, which can strip your skin. Our soaps are sulfate-free, and every bar has:
- Shea butter to help your hands hold on to moisture.
- Coconut milk for a creamy lather.
- Kaolin clay for a silky feel.
A gentle bar by the sink, like our Manuka Honey & Oats, is a great everyday pick.
Wash Smart
- Use warm water, not hot.
- Lather for about 20 seconds, then rinse well.
- Pat your hands dry. Don't rub.
Moisturize Right After
This is the step most people skip. Put on a little moisturizer every time you can, especially before bed.
Our Soothing Aloe Hand & Body Butter soaks in fast, so you can get right back to work. For really dry knuckles, our Shea Butter Lotion Bar is easy to keep in a bag or pocket.
Give Your Hands a Night Off
Before bed, put on a thick layer of body butter and wear thin cotton gloves. You'll wake up with softer hands.
When to See a Doctor
If your hands are cracking, bleeding or have a rash that won't go away, talk to your doctor. It could be more than dry skin.
Our Tip
Keep a small body butter by every sink you use. If it's right there, you'll use it.
