Soap - page 4

Soap is a basic product for daily hand hygiene, removing impurities and keeping the skin clean. Within a hand care routine, soap should be effective enough for washing, but also mild enough not to leave a strong feeling of tightness, especially with dry and sensitive skin.

In the Hand soaps category, solid soaps are a practical choice for home, family and everyday use. They can be used for hand washing, while some products are also intended for wider skin hygiene according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Proper use of soap is important for hygiene, but with frequent hand washing, hydration should also be considered. If the skin becomes dry, red, stinging or cracked after washing, choosing a milder product and using hand cream regularly is recommended.

How to use soap properly?

Soap is used on wet skin, with gentle rubbing and thorough rinsing with lukewarm water. Special attention should be paid to the palms, backs of hands, spaces between fingers, fingertips and the area around the nails.

After washing, hands should be dried gently, without rough towel rubbing. If hands are washed often, applying hand cream after washing is recommended, especially with dry, sensitive or cracked skin.

Soap and skin care

Frequent hand washing may contribute to skin dryness, especially if aggressive products, very hot water or disinfectants are used several times daily. That is why soap should match the skin’s needs and hydration should be restored after washing.

Pharmacist’s advice

For daily hand washing, choose a soap that suits your skin type and washing frequency. With dry or sensitive skin, avoid overly aggressive products, wash hands with lukewarm water and apply hand cream after washing. If deep cracks, bleeding, severe itching, pain, swelling, sores or recurring redness appear, seek advice from a dermatologist, doctor or pharmacist.
