BEST HAND WASHES TO KEEP GERMS AWAY

-


Picture this, you get off your seat, push open the door on your way out, and there you go picking up all the germs contributed by all the people who didn’t bother washing their hands! God forbid you to smear the lip balm onto your lips with ‘em hands. You’ve officially got yourself into the ultimate hygiene disaster. Why are we skipping the hand wash? And you thought you could do away with washing your hands just before meals or so.




This is why washing hands qualifies as an unquestionable requirement. It’s probably one of the first few things we are taught as kids yet one of the last few things we follow right.

So how do you fix this? For starters, make your own homemade hand wash and take things in hand.

How to Make Hand Wash at Home

Ingredients you’ll need:

  • 1 bar of anti-bacterial hand soap (Works as a key ingredient for germ-protection)
  • Glycerine (Works as a moisturizing agent to make the hand wash gentle on skin)
  • The essential oil of your choice (Works to improve the fragrance of the hand wash)

Directions:


Step 1: Grate an anti-bacterial soap into a bowl till the entire soap is reduced to flakes.

Step 2: Add the soap flakes in a blender and pour a cup of boiled water into it. Blend until it takes on the consistency of paste.

Step 3: Now add one tablespoon of Glycerine and 10 drops of Essential Oil into the blender. Again blend until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed to create a soapy consistency.

Step 4: Leave the mixture to cool down for 10 minutes. Once it’s cooled, pour your DIY hand wash into a pump bottle using a funnel.

Step 5: Shut the lid and shake. Your best defense is now bottled and ready to use.


How to Wash Hands


For all you know, you’ve probably been doing it wrong. Washing your hands the right way is the least you can do to protect not just yourself but your immediate loved ones. So here’s a quick guide on the handwashing technique.

Step 1: First wet your hands and then apply a dime-sized amount of liquid hand wash on your palm.

Step 2: Rub your hands thoroughly to ensure it covers the entire surface of both your hands. Don’t forget the back of your hands and fingernails.

Step 3: Interlace your fingers to cover the areas between the fingers and finish off by soaping your wrists.

Step 4: After at least 40 seconds of vigorous rubbing, wash off with clean running water.

Step 5: Dry your hands with a clean paper or cotton towel.
