Dove’s new Beauty Deep Moisture Moisturizing & Hand Sanitizer is a replenishing product that provides long-lasting moisturization and defense against common germs. From Dove, there are also nourishing hand sanitizers that feature skin-soothing ingredients like shea butter or calming lavender and chamomile.
There are very different reasons for using a hand sanitizer versus a hand cream but these products are now being used one after the other more frequently. With increased hand washing and sanitizing, people have found that they need a good moisturizer more than ever to mitigate the stripping and drying effects of conventional hand sanitizers. As a result, some brands are fusing the best properties of hand hygiene and care products to offer both sanitizing or replenishing benefits.
