Hand washing protects against infections but only if the hands are washed properly. Watch this short video and check if your hand washing technique is correct. We've used green tempura paint for this demonstration, so that it shows clearly the areas that need to be covered.

In addition to washing your hands with the correct technique, it is important to use adequate soaps and cosmetics for hand care. sebamed pH 5.5 products preserve the skin's natural protective coating and at the same time prevent irritation and drying.

sebamed products are made in Germany and are of equal composition and quality for the UK and German markets.
