Everyone is freaking out these days about coronavirus and the flu and I get it it’s super scary. But, what I am finding myself getting stressed about isn’t actually getting sick but, not having access to things like purell and medications because everyone seems to be stockpiling them. I’ve already looked at many places are sold out of purell and other hand sanitizing products. First, let me say washing your hands with antibacterial soap and water for 20 seconds is much more effective than hand sanitizer. But if you’re in a pinch it’s much easier to have some hand sanitizer in your car or in your purse in case you’re in public and don’t have the opportunity to stop at a bathroom. I created this simple hand sanitizer recipe that you can put in a spray bottle and keep near you in case you have the need for clean hands on the go. This stuff is effective but doesn’t leave that residue feeling on your skin like other gel hand sanitizers.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup aloe vera gel
2/3 cup rubbing alcohol (91 or 99%)
10 drops of your favorite essential oil (I use Plant Therapy’s Immune Aid but you can use lemon, lavender or tea tree oil. All of those have been known to fight germs. You can also use Thieves or OnGuard). If you’d like to buy some essential oils at a discount click here.
Directions:
Pour all ingredients into a measuring cup with spout
Stir and pour into a spray bottle.
Shake bottle before each use.
Spray 3-5 sprays on hands and rub until your hands feel warm (friction can also kill germs 🙌🏼).
