Homemade Hand Sanitizer Recipes to Kill Off Germs in Style: Make Hand Sanitizer, Sanitizing Wipes and Surface Sanitizer at Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648783060)

Modern epidemics, like the one going on right now, have shown that we are more vulnerable now than ever despite the progress in technology and medicine. A microorganism, as small as a virus can bring the economy to its knees. It can also affect your health. So, how do you protect yourself? The best way to do this is to keep your hands clean and free of germs.

Your hands are susceptible to bacteria and viruses because you touch random objects. You use the same hands to eat food and can easily transfer these bacteria and viruses into your body. It is difficult to wash your hands at every point. You also cannot expect to avoid touching surfaces, either. You are probably always on the go, so you need to have a convenient way to keep your hands clean and healthy. It is during these times that you need to use hand sanitizers. These products are gel-like and have some alcohol in them. This alcohol will kill the bacteria and virus on your skin.

People often choose to avoid store-bought hand sanitizers. They complain that these products make their skin dry. The alcohol in the sanitizers makes their skin dry. Some companies choose to give their customers complimentary moisturizers on the purchase of their sanitizer, but this does not help either. Some sanitizers also have a pungent or bad odor since they are mass-produced. It is for this reason people believe they should avoid purchasing sanitizers. How will they protect themselves otherwise? They can make them at home.

If you also do not like purchasing hand sanitizers at the store, you can make them at home. This book has different sanitizer recipes. The recipes are extremely simple to follow, and the ingredients are available in every supermarket. Since a child's skin is more sensitive, you need to use different proportions of alcohol and gel to avoid hurting their skin. This book also has some kid-friendly sanitizer recipes that you can use. You must understand that you cannot protect yourself if the surfaces at home are piled with dust and germs. There are some recipes in this book that you can use to disinfect your house.

You can also add essential oils to the recipes, so you can decide how you want the sanitizer to smell. You can also tweak the recipes and the proportions of the ingredients to suit your skin. When you use sanitizers, you can decrease the chances of falling ill. Remember to sanitize whenever you touch surfaces in any public place or even at home.
