Here a Germ, There a Germ, Everywhere a Big Germ!
Everywhere we go, we are cautioned to wash or faces and our hands. Most doctors’ offices, here in Louisville and across the country, have those bottles of hand sanitizer. We see them in the local Kentucky schools and hospitals as well. If you are like me, you even have a bottle or two in your handbag. I am totally for disinfecting and protecting my family, but those little bottles of sanitizer are wreaking havoc with my skin.
It never fails, just after I clean my hands, I reach for the bottle of lotion. I am sure most of us do. However, have you thought of how many times you use that little bottle and forget to use your hand crème? How many times after this, do you reach up to touch your face? I know I do it.
Stop and consider what that life preserving cleaner is made from. This is off the front of the little bottle that I personally carry in my purse.
“Instant hand sanitzier with a unique blend of ethyl alcohol (62%) and moisturizers.”
62% ethyl alcohol! Can you imagine how drying that is to our skin? And let’s face it, with the wfall and winter weather we have here in Kentucky, who needs the extra damage?
Therefore, my stress-less tip for today is to Moisturize. Make it a daily habit. Apply in the morning and in the afternoon. For an extra treat for your skin, come down to the Serenity Spa and have a facial. Your skin will thank you!
So stay warm and keep your skin nourished, you beautiful soul, you!
