YOUR HANDS DESERVE A SPA DAY

We’ve been washing our hands A LOT lately, and this is a good thing. But let’s be honest, that first handwash you grabbed in fear it was the last to exist on planet earth at the local grocery probably isn’t cutting it. Now that we are comfy at home, and have the power of the interwebs at our insanely clean fingertips, it’s time to treat our paws to the rinse they deserve. 

Hudson Made: Worker’s Soap

Hudson Made has a simple philosophy, “those who understand that being good with your hands means being good to your hands.” Well, we can agree this sentiment has never been more true as of late. There is something about a bar of soap that feels like an extra scrub is going a long way, and this particular bar offers a heavy-duty clean we all need right now. Within the bar is natural pumice to enhance the exfoliating wash that you can take all the way up to your arms if needed, because who knows, maybe all those elbow tap hellos have now finally got you thinking. CYTIES recommended—this bar gets the job done.
