According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the best way to clean your hands is to wash them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If you don’t have soap and water, using a gel hand sanitizer that’s at least 60% alcohol is your best bet. Don’t try to make your own hand sanitizer unless you have absolutely no choice, since it’s very difficult to create a product that’s both effective against germs and safe for your skin. Most alcohol that you can buy in a drug store or department store will probably not be concentrated enough to easily make a 60% alcohol solution when you mix it with other ingredients, such as aloe gel. Be aware that regularly using highly concentrated alcohol can eventually damage your skin and make it easier to absorb toxins and other contaminants through the damaged skin barrier. When you’re ready to use your sanitizer to disinfect your hands or another surface, simply squeeze or pump a little of it onto a clean piece of paper towel, tissue, or gauze. Use enough to thoroughly dampen your wipe. Wipe all surfaces of your hands, including the backs of your hands, your wrists, and the spaces between your fingers. Inspect your hands to make sure they’re visibly clean. Allow your hands to air dry instead of wiping or rinsing them off. Rinsing your hands or wiping away the hand sanitizer too soon may prevent it from completely disinfecting your hands.
