Well Groomed | Well Handy

Hand-care is a hot topic at moment with regular washing becoming crucial in the fight against Covid. Frequent scrubbing with soap and sanitising gels can be quite aggressive on the skin so it is essential we show our hands a bit of TLC, after all we spend hours applying serums and moisturisers to our complexions, so why not our hands? When choosing your hand-care it is important to consider the environmental impact of the products being washed down the plughole and the ingredients that are being absorbed by your skin. We hand-picked, excuse the pun, our edit of planet friendly washes, balms, salves and lotions that are kind on our eco-systems as well as our bodies.
