Homemade Hand Sanitizer

Camila Benitez
This Homemade Hand Sanitizer is very affordable and can be made with just a few ingredients- Rubbing alcohol and aloe vera gel. The rubbing alcohol acts as a disinfectant against bacteria and viruses, while the aloe vera gel soothes your skin and adds moisture to keep your hands from drying out due to the alcohol.  In addition to adding fragrance to your hand sanitizer, the essential oils you choose may help protect against germs.For example, thyme and clove oil have antimicrobial properties that fight bacteria. If you're using antimicrobial oils, only use a drop or two, since those oils tend to be very powerful and might irritate or dry out your skin. Other oils, like lavender or chamomile, may help soothe your skin. (Adapted from rachaelrayshow.com )
