As we’ve been hearing for several months now, handwashing is one of the best ways to keep you and your loved ones from getting sick. When soap and water aren’t available, a good, natural hand sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol is important to have handy.
When using a hand sanitizer, make sure you use enough product to cover all surfaces of your hands and fingers. Spray or squeeze the sanitizer on your hands and rub together for about 20 seconds, or until hands feel dry.
Since alcohol can lead to skin dryness, look for sanitizers that are rich in hydrating oils to keep hands moisturized. Here are a few to try.
