Nowadays, many people use hand soap to wash their hands and basically give up soap. Because they feel that hand sanitizer can both disinfect and skin care. Although the soap is washed clean, it is not good for the skin. Soap is the product of saponification of fats and oils. It is essentially the same as soap, which means that the raw materials are finer and more refined. Alkaline is heavy. Hand sanitizer is a composite product of synthetic surfactants and is not alkaline. Take the whole family's favorite hand sanitizer, it adds EAZ enzyme to the plant ingredients, which is safer. In fact, hand sanitizer is not a substitute for soap. So what is the difference between hand sanitizer and soap?

Removing dirt and disinfecting is the main purpose of washing hands, and hand sanitizer can only meet the purpose of sterilization. Because most hand sanitizers contain alcohol, alcohol can only be sterilized, but it can not effectively remove dirt, such as dust, dirt, blood stains, etc., which are attached to the tiny gaps in the skin. Therefore, once the hands are contaminated with such dirt, washing hands with only hand sanitizer is not clean enough, so the dirt must be removed before using the hand sanitizer.

It is best to wash your hands with soap instead of using hand sanitizer alone. In fact, when you go to the hospital, you can find that most doctors use soap to wash their hands. This is not because the price of soap is cheaper, but because it is more sterilizable.

Of course, not all hand sanitizers contain the same ingredients. If the alcohol content in the hand sanitizer is less than 60%, the bactericidal effect will be greatly reduced. It is useless to wash hands with this hand sanitizer. When purchasing hand sanitizer, check the contents of the active ingredients marked on the product label. Some hand sanitizers are marked with alcohol, p-aminobenzoic acid and isopropanol instead of alcohol. It is worth noting that regardless of the form, the content should be between 60% and 95%. However, the alcohol content is not as high as possible. If the alcohol content is higher than 95% or pure alcohol, the bactericidal effect will be weakened.

That is to say, hand sanitizer can only be used as a reserve army of soap, and can not completely replace soap. The best way to wash your hands is to wash your hands with soap to remove dirt, and then use hand sanitizer to sterilize the skin. When using hand sanitizer, it is not much better. It is enough to press one drop each time. After washing it repeatedly, rinse it with running water for more than 15 seconds, so that the hand sanitizer can be thoroughly cleaned. Although many hand sanitizers contain skin care ingredients, in the dry winter, if you wash your hands frequently, it will still cause dry skin on your hands. Therefore, apply a special Moisturizing Hand Cream after washing your hands.
