Admittedly, hand washes aren't the most exciting of beauty purchases and that's no shade to anyone that has a thing for soap. But there are ways you can upgrade your bathroom sink, whilst still caring for both your hands and others.
Nursem is a brand that for every purchase made, donates hand washes and creams to nurses and midwifes who quite frankly, desperately need it. Whilst Beco is on a mission to help disabled people gain employment. Which is why their work force is made up of 80% disabled people.
If you're feeling more on the boujee side, there's the cult favourite Aesop Resurrection Hand Wash, which even without subway tiles will make your kitchen sink that much chicer. Plus you can always refill the bottle once you're done with it...
Not to mention haircare brand Oribe's venture into the world of hand care with their Cote d'Azur Revitalizing Wash and yes, it does smell as good as their shampoo.
Whether your hands are dry and in desperate need of some exfoliation (Cowshed's Exfoliating Wash will do the trick), or whether you just want something to make your guests feel fancy (Jo Malone's Wood Sage and Sea Salt will definitely do that) we have got you covered.
