ARE SANITIZERS HURTING YOU MORE THAN HELPING YOU?
It is a known fact that hand sanitizer products kill germs on your hands instantly, helping to slow the spread of transmissible diseases like COVID-19. This prevention or “kill time” typically lasts 30 to 60 seconds on the skin, leaving your hands unprotected until the next application.
Hand sanitizer has proven helpful in instantly killing germs on the skin; however, using it repeatedly can have side effects. Overusing hand sanitizer ultimately leads to dry, cracked skin with lasting redness or discoloration and prolonged skin-chapping.
The side effects of hand sanitizer come down to the formulas you’re using. Hand sanitizer typically contains a high amount of alcohol (between 60 and 95 percent Source) added into the formula to kill germs on your hands instantly.
There’s a reason that doctors recommend washing your hands with soap and water over using hand sanitizer. Doctors tend to be straightforward and understand that it might be easy for people to accidentally overdo it with hand sanitizer, which will eventually cause dry skin and other side effects.
The fact is that overusing hand sanitizer to the point that your hands get dried out makes it easier for your hands to pick up germs from other surfaces. Skin that begins to crack or bleed is even more susceptible to bacteria.
