Nowadays, strict hand hygiene remains one of the most important parts of our daily lives. Substances that are as natural as possible and thorough care ensure that the skin is not damaged despite frequent washing and disinfection.

For the delicate skin of our hands – constant washing and frequent disinfection with often aggressive, synthetic products – is an extremely unfavorable experience. Therefore, anyone who attaches great importance to thorough cleaning, but also to well-groomed hands, should follow our advice for comprehensive care.

Washing hands with natural soap under running water

Step 1: Washing hands

It sounds easy, but hands are often not washed carefully enough. There are simple tips on how to wash your hands properly: hold your hands under warm running water. Thoroughly lather your palms, backs of your hands, fingertips and the spaces between them. Rub the soap in for at least 20 seconds. Then rinse thoroughly under running water and dry with a clean towel. If you are looking for a natural alternative to conventional soaps, the natural soaps at MAKASA will give you a real pleasure with their fragrance. And they are also gentle enough for delicate women's hands.

If you prefer to mix your own soap, you can flavor your own natural cosmetic liquid soap with essential oils in a simple and sensible way, because essential oils reduce germs and clean naturally.

Recipes with essential oils for hand care

Make your own hand soap

100 ml of natural cosmetic liquid soap
12 drops tea tree essential oil
20 drops fine lavender essential oil

Drop the essential oils into the soap. Shake and stir to mix the ingredients well. Wash your hands thoroughly with the household soap for at least 20 seconds.

Disinfection and hand hygiene with a natural spray

Step 2: Hand disinfection

Different types of natural disinfectants are a great natural alternative to traditional hygiene products, but they do not replace hand washing.

If you prefer to get creative here, you can simply mix your own hand hygiene spray with essential oils and SOS spray, a combination of three different plant waters.

Add the essential oils to the spray, shake well before each use, spray directly onto hands and rub in. Alternatively, kayaput is also suitable instead of niaouli. You can use any herbal water or a simple mixture of alcohol and water (5 ml vodka or wine spirit, 25 ml distilled water) as the base of the mixture.

Applying hand cream as the third step of care

Step 3: Take care of your hands

The crowning glory of the hand care ritual is the Relaxing Hand Cream with Organic Lavender and Vanilla . The rich cream regenerates rough, dry and stressed hands. It absorbs quickly, is non-greasy and leaves the skin velvety soft. Valuable vegetable oils from organic avocado and organic kukui nut protect against drying out for a long time.
