Maybe I'm cheap because I am a huge DIY person. If I can save even a few pennies I'd rather do things myself. You may not have a choice but be a DIYer when it comes to hand sanitizer because they are flying off the shelves.
As people concerned about the coronavirus continue snatching up hand sanitizer, retail outlets have been having a difficult timekeeping their shelves stocked with the germ-killing hand solution. But there's no need to worry; experts say homemade hand sanitizer is every bit as effective as store-bought versions.
The active ingredient in hand sanitizer is something most people already have in their bathrooms: rubbing alcohol, says Dr. David Agus. Combine 2/3 cup rubbing alcohol with 1/3 cup aloe vera gel. Adding several drops of essential oilwill make it smell better, but it's not necessary, Agus says. Then mix it up and it's ready.
While hand sanitizer doesn't kill all viruses, it's been proven to be effective against the coronavirus, Agus says.
I hope you enjoy this fun craft that you can make with the kids this weekend or any day after school! -
