Quick answer
Pair The Hand Wash and The Hand Lotion from Nécessaire by washing with the vitamin-enriched cleanser, then applying the lightweight lotion while hands are slightly damp to lock in moisture.
The Hand Wash
The Hand Lotion
Why this duo works better than separate products
The Hand Wash and The Hand Lotion are formulated to work together. The wash replenishes vitamins and minerals lost during frequent hand washing, while the lotion restores the skin barrier with Omega 6/9. Using them in sequence ensures your hands stay soft without feeling greasy.
Step-by-step routine for soft hands
- Wet hands and apply The Hand Wash: Dispense one pump of The Hand Wash into wet palms. Lather for at least 20 seconds, covering all surfaces including between fingers. Avoid using water that is too hot—it strips natural oils. Warm water is best.
- Rinse and pat dry: Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat hands dry with a clean towel, leaving them slightly damp rather than bone-dry. Rubbing vigorously can irritate the skin. Patting is gentler and preserves moisture.
- Apply The Hand Lotion while hands are still damp: Pump a pea-sized amount of The Hand Lotion onto your palm. Rub it into your hands and cuticles, focusing on dry areas. Don't wait until hands are fully dry—applying to damp skin helps the lotion absorb better and lock in hydration.
- Allow absorption before touching anything: Give the lotion 30–60 seconds to fully absorb before handling phones, keyboards, or food. If your hands feel sticky after a minute, you may have used too much lotion. Adjust the amount next time.
Product facts
- The Hand Wash + The Hand Lotion: The Hand Wash + The Hand Lotion duo is formulated with Vitamins, Minerals, and Omega 6/9 to replenish what frequent handwashing depletes. This means your hands get continuous nourishment rather than just temporary moisture.
