Using a sanitizer

Hello dear, I am so happy to interact with you here in mylot after a long time. I hope you are doing well and in great health. I am using a sanitizer at home but in office I am using soap. I never carry the same in bag. I haven't felt any roughness in my hand or nail still. You can change the same habit for a period and observe the result. In that way you can find out the exact reason. Take care dear. have a nice day

hello mayka123, Sanatizers are great in pinch like local bathrooms in the mall or at zoos or the grocery stores. But at home I am soap person and think it does a great job of getting germs and colds off our bodies and even for children. There are a lot people here in the office that use the sanitzer for there hands and we ladies got one in christmas stocking last year from our sales rep. So there are pros and cons to everything and all about you feel about the product. Thanks and have a great day! Sincerely Unqiue16

hi mayka I use a hand sanitizer that has aloe in it and leaves my hands soft and smooth. check to see if a hand sanitizer has moisturizers or skin conditioners in them . I use ivory soap and a sanditizer with aloe in it.My skin is very sensitive and I am allergic to many chemicals in som hand products.

Hi mayka! I also keep a sanitizer in my purse and also the packets with the wipes! But, I still wash my hands every chance I get too. It has been said that using the sanitizer is ok, but not too often because if used to often it breaks down the immune systems barrier and you are more prone to pick up germs after awhile instead of the opposite. I use them anyway! But, the old fashioned use of soap and water is still the best bet. The sanitizers are used when you can't get to a sink quickly!

If you think that using sanitizer is not fit for your skin it is better for you to avoid that brand and you can try with another brand. Before buying another brand of sanitizer ask others opinion about it. If nothing is suitable for you turn back to soap. I always use Johnson's baby soap to wash my hands and face because the quantity of chemicals are very few in it.

From my experience, using a hand sanitizer makes my hands feeling sticky even after wiping them off so I stopped using them. I would still recommend using soap and water to wash your hands wherever you are because it cleans off the dirt way better than a sanitizer. Another recommendation would be buying those baby (or wet) wipes. Try looking for the cheapest ones and compare the difference when you're using a hand sanitizer.

Hi Mayka! I also use sanitizer many a times, however, I did not notice carefully, if using it has affected my nails. I think it (sanitizer) should be used, when we are not in a position to wash our hands with water. If we are in a position to use water and soap, it would be better to go for it.

Hi mayka.. how are you doing.. Happy to see you back dear.. No I wont use sanitizer.. I dont like to use it because its full of chemicals.. rather I use soap..

i prefer washing my hands. i quite don't trust hand sanitizers. they clean, yes, but the sanitizer itself, the components of the product, just stays on the hands. it's quite uncomfortable really especially if one's hands have a tendency to sweat.
