Clean and soothe
With the frequent use of hand sanitisers in this pandemic, a gentle soap is what is needed to clean and nourish our skin.
THE Covid-19 pandemic has us all paying attention to cleanliness more than ever before. Luckily, scrubbing vigorously doesn’t have to translate to suffering dry, irritated skin.
Here are just a few of the many soap bars available that promise to gentle care for our skin.
This Ultra Repair Gentle Cleansing Bar from First Aid Beauty features colloidal oatmeal and allantoin to help soothe the skin, as well as shea butter and squalene to keep it hydrated. The bar promises to keep hands, face and body nourished, hydrated, soft and smooth.
