CAN I PUT HAND CREAM OVER MY SANITISER?

Yes. Applying hand cream after using sanitiser is essential to protect our skin and it will prevent bacteria.

We can be so focussed on stripping our skin of germs that we are inadvertently thinning our hands of the outermost layer of skin which is a natural barrier that stops bacteria from entering our bodies!

Sanitising without moisturising can lead to dryness, redness, itching, flaking and dry cracks in the skin giving bacteria an entry point.
