The way we wash our hands has become a huge topic of conversation this last year, and rightfully so. Washing your hands regularly isn't just a basic hygiene practice, it's also one of the simplest ways to kill bacteria and germs, thus preventing you (and others) from potentially spreading illnesses. But what's just as important as hand washing are the soaps we use to get the job done, and unfortunately, too many of them are made using formulas that are harsh and drying. Your hands deserve to feel pampered, too, and thankfully, there are tons of hand soaps out there that'll wash away all the dirt without making you immediately reach for the hand lotion after. If you're looking for some reliable, hydrating hand wash to add to your stash, check out our recommendations ahead.
