Keeping the hands clean is key to avoiding getting sick, spreading germs and diseases.

It is important to take good care of our hands because as we are exposed to daily activities, we come in contact with millions of germs.

In the case where you cannot immediately wash with water, hand sanitizers are an acceptable substitute.

These four reasons are why you should own and use hand sanitizers:

Cleaning agents

Health experts recommend that people wash their hands as many times a day as possible, particularly when it is time to eat.

Also, using a hand sanitizer after interacting with people will guarantee that your hands are free of germs they may have been carrying. This, in turn, prevents the outbreak of sickness.

Portability

Most hand sanitizer products come in pocket size which makes it portable for use.

This means that no matter where you go or what you wear, you can have a pocket-size hand sanitizer to rely on.

Reduces the risk of disease

During flu season and Harmattan, the chances of catching a cold are usually boosted by contact with individuals already suffering from it.

Shaking or holding hands with someone who has sneezed on their hands puts you at risk of getting the flu. However, with the constant use of hand sanitizers and hand washing, you will be at a lesser risk of catching a cold.

Moisturises hands

Several brands of hand sanitizers also act as moisturizers as they soften hands. However, not all hand sanitizers do this. If you are out to look for a moisturizing hand sanitizer, it is advisable to look out for products offering this bonus advantage.

In addition, some hand sanitizers are nicely scented and will leave your hands smelling very nice.

Cultivating the use of hand sanitizers and hand washing will save you from falling sick and the best part is that they are affordable.
