Wide Range of Hand Washes and Sanitisers to Keep Germs at Bay 

There are germs all around us. To get rid of them, cleaning your hands regularly is a must, especially in the wake of the pandemic. Many individuals use high-quality alcohol-based sanitisers or hand washes for this purpose. Hand washes and sanitisers are effective in creating a more secure work atmosphere for medical personnel and patients and help prevent diarrhoea and other intestinal conditions. They also help prevent frequent eye infections and respiratory infections. 

However, given the wide variety of hand washes and sanitisers available on the market, deciding which one can be tricky. This is where Apollo Pharmacy proves helpful. It brings various products onto one platform, complemented with in-depth product pages that offer you ample information about each item's qualities and purposes. 

Why is Regular Use of Hand Washes Necessary?

Since bacteria constantly build up on our hands, it is hard to keep the hands germ-free. However, using hand washes prevents the spread of bacteria and has various other advantages: 

  • Reduce food-borne diseases and keep the environment hygienic  
  • Lower the chance of microbe survival
  • Prevent the development of antibiotic resistance  
  • Make children healthier  
  • Protect against infections of the eyes, nose, and mouth 

5 Advantages of Using Hand Sanitisers 

The best way to disinfect your hands is to rinse them with warm water and soap, but hand sanitiser is also an alternative. It is advantageous for the following reasons:

  • Reduces the risk of illness: A hand sanitiser may eliminate 99.9% of the bacteria on your hands when used correctly. 
  • Portability: In some situations, water and soap may not always be available when you need to clean your hands. You can put a little bottle of hand sanitiser in your glove box, handbag, or even your pockets. 
  • Appropriate for group situations: Germs spread quickly at work, in classes, and in any area with lots of people. So, for group settings, having hand sanitiser available is ideal. 
  • Softer-feeling hands: An alcohol-free hand sanitiser can significantly improve the texture of your hands' skin. Emollients are skin-softening ingredients found in some hand sanitisers that give you softer, smoother hands.


 

Frequently asked questions

Hand sanitisers were developed to be used after hand washing or when water and soap are unavailable. These gels contain alcohol to kill the microorganisms on the skin. Alcohol swiftly and effectively destroys most viruses and microorganisms. Most sanitiser brands also include a lotion to reduce skin irritation since alcohol can be highly irritating to the skin.

To effectively use it, apply a dime-sized amount of hand sanitiser to your palms and massage it all over your hand, paying particular attention to your nail beds. If the gel completely evaporates in less than 15 seconds, you may not have used sufficient hand sanitiser. 

If water and soap are unavailable, use an enzyme-containing organic hand sanitiser. Organic hand sanitisers with enzymes are the best for providing your hands with optimal safety. They also contain hydrating ingredients that keep your palms moisturised and stop them from feeling rough.
