Can I apply it immediately after using hand sanitiser or washing my hands?

Hand skin loses water rapidly after contact with water, soap, and alcohol-based sanitisers because these strip the natural lipids that hold moisture in. The product's role is to reduce that water loss and restore a softer feel straight away. Applying it while the skin is still slightly damp (after patting dry) helps the moisturising components trap more water in the upper layers. The quick-absorbing texture means you can return to work or daily tasks without a greasy delay. Keeping a tube at the kitchen sink, bathroom, desk, or in a bag makes it realistic to reapply each time you wash or sanitise, which is the most effective way to prevent the tight, rough feeling that builds up over a day of repeated exposure.
