DIY Homemade Hand Sanitizer - When You are Out and About

We are experiencing trying times right now, and we all have to be vigilant with washing hands well with soap and warm water.

But that is not always possible when you are out and about, and most stores have run out of portable hand sanitizers.

So I set about researching on how to make your own.  So, save your little squeeze bottles and give this recipe a try.

Pretty basic ingredients, but this will give you peace of mind when you simply want to disinfect your hands and you are no where near soap and water.

Check out this video by MaMain the Kitchen:



What you will Need:


  • 2/3 cup of Rubbing Alcohol (minimum of 70% but preferably higher)

  • 1/3 cup of Aloe Vera Gel

  • Essential oils (to make it smell nice)


Method:

Mix together the aloe vera gel and the rubbing alcohol and mix well.

Add the essential oil to the desired scent.

Mix again, now pour into your squeeze bottle.

This is a super quick way to get the protection you want to carry in your purse or car.  Keeping our hands clean is so important any time, but more so right now.

I have also used it to wipe down surfaces.

Everyone stay safe and healthy out there!  I also sourced these 2 items on Amazon below if you can't find them in the stores.
