Where to Buy Hand Sanitizer Online Right Now
Whether it's a pump, squirt, wipe or spray bottle, hand sanitizer is proving to be a small but powerful tool for hand hygiene. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold with the Delta variant, and as states begin to navigate another surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, sales of alcohol-based cleansers have skyrocketed because our "new normal" involves disinfecting our hands way more than usual.
According to the World Health Organization, regular and thorough hand washing with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub can kill viruses that may be on your hands (not to mention grime, germs and bacteria you've picked up while running essential errands). Just like with a face mask and vaccinations, when you reduce your chances of being infected, you also reduce your chances of spreading COVID-19 and severe illness to people around you.
And because the more you know, health experts have a few tips for using and storing your own hand sanitizer properly. First, keep all hand sanitizers (and cleaning products in general) out of reach of children and pets -- this stuff can be poisonous to them, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's minimum formula requirement is 60% alcohol. If you do have kids, teach them how to apply sanitizer and monitor their use. Speaking of usage, all you need is a coin-sized amount for both hands if you're using a gel. After rubbing it in, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose -- it'll cause irritation. Finally, keep all alcohol-based sanitizers away from open flames and stovetops, as they are very flammable.
Oh, and an extra tip from the ET Style team: Make sure you're applying moisturizer or lotion to your skin, as all that washing hands with hand soap can lead to dry skin. We've been singing the praises of our favorite moisturizers, and we're especially pumped about Glossier's brand-new hand cream (plus the fact that the beauty company donated the first 10,000 bottles to hospital and healthcare workers).
Your local Target might have sold out of Purell hand sanitizer months ago and Amazon's supply of hand sanitizer product options, toilet paper and disinfecting wipes are hit-or-miss. But don't worry -- plenty of other companies have liquid hand sanitizer in stock right now. Find all sizes of bottles below, and keep checking back as we update this story with even more options for where to buy hand sanitizer.
