How does a hand lotion contribute to the health of skin?
In day-to-day circumstances most people do not wash their hands frequently enough to prevent the spread of micro-organisms. Using a hand lotion that has a disinfecting quality will decrease the spread of infections. For healthcare workers and others in the foodservice, military, or other industry that demands it, hand washing can be as frequent as 20 times per day. In this case, a hand lotion applied at regular intervals will help to maintain the smooth surface of the skin, and prevent cracks and chapping that can lead to areas that might harbour germs.
