Yes, skincare is an important part of personal hygiene!
A skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturising, and sun protection will help maintain skin barrier function, prevent infections, and prevent a build-up of bacteria.
Skincare is all about taking care of skin health and appearance through cleansing, moisturising, and sun protection.
Meanwhile, hygiene involves practices that keep skin clean and free of germs, like face care, daily cleansing, and regular hand washing.
In this way, hygiene encompasses skincare.
The 5 basics of skincare are:
No, soap and hand sanitiser are not the same thing.
Soap works by lifting dirt, viruses, and bacteria off the skin, so that they can be rinsed away with water.
Meanwhile, hand sanitiser kills germs but leaves the dead organisms on the skin.
No, washing hands with soap and water is more effective than using hand sanitiser, and is essential after using the toilet or if your hands are visibly dirty or greasy.
That said, hand sanitiser is a good, fast alternative for when your hands aren’t visibly soiled and there’s no water available.

The best skincare products for the workplace are those that are protective, easy to apply, and hydrating.
Soap is a must in any workplace. Other products that can be useful include sunscreen, hand sanitiser, and protective creams.
You should perform hand hygiene with soap and water where possible because it physically removes dirt, grease, and other contaminants from the skin.
It’s also better at eliminating specific, resilient viruses and bacteria, like norovirus.
On the other hand, alcohol-based hand rub kills germs but doesn’t physically remove dirt and dead organisms.
