Hand Sanitizer

Do you use hand sanitizer?

I went to order at a kiosk at a gas station and they had hand sanitizers to use afterward and I didn't even think about it until I got into my car and noticed a strong perfume smell. I thought it was from the woman getting into the car next to me but no, it was ME! The hand sanitizer was so heavily perfumed that I couldn't stand that 45 minute drive home! ick

Very seldom. I don't really want to be rubbing alcohol into my hands unless it's really necessary and it very seldom is. The last thing I want is to be pumping an unknown product onto my hands - not only do I have no way of knowing whether the provider cheaped out and offered some nasty product I also don't know if it's going to make my hands smell objectionable.

I think the last time I used hand sanitizer was in October when I was visiting a gallery on vacation. The owner asked us to use some on the way in and it didn't seem like a cheap and nasty place so I complied. At the next place they also asked us to use hand sanitizer but that looked more cluttered and low-brow so I acted as if I was but didn't actually take any. Too much alcohol on the hands doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

I use hand sanitizer rarely, but when I do, I use one that I used to use when I was working. Most really wreck my hands. One with a perfume smell would be horrible for me too. With the COVID, I have started to carry a small bottle of mine with me and I know that the one I am using is not an issue with me. So many places want you to use sanitizer these days.

I have a small one I carry in my purse too but since the gas station had theirs set out all over the place I thought I'd give it a quick squirt while waiting for my latte to be made. That was a huge mistake! The perfume stayed on my hand throughout the rest of the day and at least 10 hand washings and 1 time of washing dishes by hand too. I'll stick with my own from now on.

Do you use hand sanitizer?

Mostly not. Because it dries out my hands and makes them crack and bleed. So I just go use Dawn dish soap and washing them in warm water a few times a day.
