Research indicates that a thorough hand wash with soap (20 secs) is effective in killing the deadly virus. Seems like your mom was right all those years ago, right? In case you are running errands and don\u2019t have soap readily available, a good <\/span><b>Hand Sanitizer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is equally effective in maintaining hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that <\/span><b>Hand Sanitizers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should have at least 60% alcohol content to be effective? If your Hand Sanitizer has anything less than that- it probably won\u2019t work. Now since good Hand Sanitizers are no longer easily available (they sold-out like hot cakes) in the market, what do we do? Don\u2019t worry girl, we\u2019ve got this! Presenting an easy DIY Hand Sanitizer idea!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few things you need (available in your local pharmacy) to make your very own <\/span><b>Hand Sanitizer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zivame.com\/blog\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/article-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2\/3 cups Isopropyl alcohol (99% alcohol content)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\/3 cup Aloe vera gel (92% aloe vera content)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential oil of your choice (optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubber gloves to protect your hands (this alcohol burns!)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plastic bottles with a flip-top for storage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funnel for pouring the Hand Sanitizer into the bottle<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glass bowl and a spoon for mixing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9316\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zivame.com\/blog\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/article1-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Method:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear your gloves before you start the procedure. Carefully, pour two parts of Isopropyl alcohol and one part of aloe vera gel in a glass bowl and mix it thoroughly with a spoon. The 2:1 proportion is important for the sanitizer to have 60% alcohol content (science class deja vu, anyone?)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you like the fragrance of essential oils, add a few drops into the mixture. Skip this step if you don\u2019t like fragrances or if essential oils aren\u2019t readily available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9317\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zivame.com\/blog\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/article2-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give this concoction a thorough mix. Place the funnel on top of the plastic bottle and carefully pour the Sanitizer in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hooray! Your homemade Hand Sanitizer is now ready to use! All you have to do is to squeeze out a dime-sized amount in your palm and gently rub it in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How cool will it be to try this fun science experiment with your friends and family? Who knows, you may never go back to store-bought <\/span><b>Hand Sanitizers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ever again! This Hand sanitizer is enough to last for a few months for you and your family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know you have heard this a million times already, but like good friends, we would like to remind you again: please maintain hygiene, avoid touching your face as much as possible (we know it is difficult but being mindful is important), and maintain a physical distance of at least 6 feet from others when in a public place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wash your hands thoroughly with soap or use your Homemade Hand Sanitizer whenever you come in contact with unknown surfaces. Wear a Face Mask every time you step out of your house.
