31 Aug Sanitizing your health using all-natural hand sanitizers and essential oils
Over the last decade, the use of hand sanitizers has increased substantially. Just recently, all-natural hand sanitizers have taken the spotlight for their simplicity, powerful cleaning abilities, natural moisturizing formulas and the ability to never leave skin feeling dry. But what about other reasons why hand sanitizers are so important? Well, with today’s “on the go” person, it’s not very convenient to carry a soap bar and water with you everywhere you go. A small, convenient little tube of hand sanitizer on the other hand, can be used any and everywhere you need.
Health benefits of hand sanitizers
With more attention being paid to H1N1, and quick and easy ways to slow and prevent it, hand sanitizers have again been identified as a first line of defense type of solution. However, having sanitizer in your purse or gym bag is only effective if it is used. In addition, how sanitizer is applied and the ingredients inside of it play a huge role in how effective it can be.
To get the most out of each application, one needs to apply it in a way that covers the entire hand, also the back of the palm and the wrist too. If you are only applying to certain areas and missing spots on the hands, you could be defeating the purpose and leaving many germs behind.
A little “sneaky” place that the common person never thinks to apply hand sanitizer is under rings. If you apply sanitizers while wearing rings, you need to take them off as jewelry is a hotbed place for germs to hide.
Aren’t all hand sanitizers the same?
No. A lot of the unnatural hand sanitizers have phthalates and other harmful chemicals in them, which most of the time, is camouflage with tricky labeling and just says “fragrance.” Phthalates are endocrine disruptors and are not good for the body, especially men as it has been proven to lower their sperm count after continued use. However, there are other alternatives if you love using hand sanitizers, but don’t want to risk your health in the process. When it comes to pure cleaning and disinfectant power, all-natural hand sanitizers are just as effective without the harmful chemicals in them. All-natural hand sanitizers could come with or without alcohol. The ones that incorporate alcohol use it because it is a powerful germ-fighting substance that is effective in killing germs. All-natural hand sanitizers also add in natural moisturizers such as aloe vera and vitamin E.
Are there other ways to clean my house in an all-natural way?
Cleaners such as bleach and Tilex, are not the only powerful germ-killing agents. In the all-natural world, there are all-natural options with powerful ingredients that come in the form of essential oils.
