Life Saving DIY Hand Sanitizer Recipe That Won't Dry Out Your Hands

Hey Beautiful!  

Here's a little DIY hand sanitizing recipe to help you get by when you need it! 

All you'll need is some alcohol (over 90% is preferred), lavender (or scent of choice) and aloe gel (organic, when possible). 

You can likely find all of these online, if you can't find them inside your local store. 

When times get tough, sometimes it's easier to find individual items like this than ones that are already pre-made. 

Aloe and Glycerine are both humectants so they'll keep your hands from drying out! 

DIRECTIONS: 

Add ⅔ cup of rubbing alcohol into a small bowl. Then add 1/3 cup of aloe gel (or vegetable glycerine). Add about 5 drops of lavender or any high quality essential oil you love putting on your skin and mix them all together. 

JQ TIP: You may substitute aloe with glycerine if you'd like!

Afterwards, you can place the hand sanitizer in an empty dispenser or spray bottle (if it's thicker you may want to use a squeeze bottle).

Of course, it's always easier to buy a cheap hand sanitizer that's already made, but if they're hard to come by this can be temporary solution.

If you have particularly dry, cracked, sensitive skin, you may also find it helpful to keep lotion in your car so that as soon as you use your hand sanitizer you can follow it up with lotion to prevent further irritation.

Hope you find this helpful! I'd love to know how yours comes out.. leave me a note in the comments below! 

Remember, the more you know the more you GROW.
