STEER CLEAR OF CORONA

Every day, you come into contact with millions of outside bacteria and viruses. The human body itself can provide places for disease-causing germs and parasites to grow and multiply. They linger on your body, and some of them may make you sick.

It is less likely that germs and parasites will get inside the body if people have good personal hygiene habits. Essential personal hygiene practices help you and the people around you prevent potentially serious illnesses. 

 

If in some strange reason you did not already, then now is the prime time to start washing your hands! We, the experts at NAUDE, strongly recommend artisanal – natural, vegan, and palm free cold process soap bars, that are perfumed with pure essential oils.

Why you should do it?

Well, we have this #covid19 pandemic. 

Just kidding, handwashing is a part of essential personal hygiene. 

Handwashing (with soap) is one of the simplest and most important steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water.

Knowing about all the bacteria out there, washing your hands often, can help yourself and your family stay healthy.

 

Show me the science!

If you are not convinced at all, there are about billion reasons for you to grab a bar and lather-lather-lather.

Here’s only a few examples – Salmonella, E. coli O157, norovirus, adenovirus, hand-foot-mouth disease. Also, it’s just nice and polite. 

Germs can get onto hands if people touch any object that has germs on it, ie someone coughed or sneezed on it or was touched by some other contaminated object. These germs can easily be passed from person to person and make people sick. Handwashing with soap removes germs – this helps prevent infections.

So, when exactly?

To prevent germs on your hands enter your body through your mouth, nose, eyes, or ears, wash your hands frequently (water+soap).

• when you come home/indoors
• after using the restroom
• when you handle food
• before you eat
• after you handle garbage
• after you sneeze/cough/blow your nose
• any time you touch an animal
• after changing a baby’s diaper
• just in case (seriously!)

 

A simple how to:

1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.

2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Put away soap. Scrub for at least 20 seconds – the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.

3. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.

4. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.

Voila, clean hands!
