It may not be the most glamorous of beauty-related tasks but, along with the similarly mundane skin-cleansing and tooth-brushing, washing your hands is undoubtedly one of the most important. Particularly when you live in a city like London. Just consider all the surfaces you touch on the bus, the tube, at the supermarket – that thousands of others have also touched – and then how many times you use those fingers to touch your face, hair, eyes, lips, even your food. . . makes you just a little pedantic (I am never without a hand sanitiser) about how often you wash and with what.
Carex has always been my go-to – effective at killing harmful bacteria it balances cleansing with supporting the skin’s natural defences whilst also moisturising for soft, supple and spotless hands. And I’m not alone, as the number one brand in the UK, Carex sells a single bottle of their hand wash every second!
Having launched the UKs very first anti-bacterial wash back in 1993, the much-loved cleaning and protecting brand who have since expanded their line with innovative variations on their classic, hand gels and specialist children’s washes, celebrate their 20 year anniversary this year.
In light of their 20th birthday, Carex is launching The Live Life Hands On Awards, where entrants have been asked to showcase a day in the life of their hands, with the top 20 entries winning a £500 Red Letter Day voucher plus a year’s supply of Carex products.
