Up until about three months ago, hand-washing was hardly a topic of conversation. For the most part, we did it after using the bathroom, before cooking or touching food, and other randomly necessary times. Now, we still follow those guidelines but make a point of doing it even more because that’s what the current times call for. And while water and soap are said to be the smartest method, investing in a hand sanitizer spray wouldn’t hurt either.
Nowadays, getting your antibacterial fix online feels like a neverending battle—products sell out fast. So much so, that beauty brands have started making their own hand sanitizers to address shortages and donate resources (monetary and otherwise) to hospital workers and non-profit groups. But whether you get your hand sanitizer from a nail polish site or your local Target, sprays offer double-duty, on-the-go benefits. In other words, after you’re done spraying your hands, you can also spray your phone, notorious breeding ground for germs.
Ahead, some of the best hand sanitizer sprays to keep in your pocket, all made with the CDC‘s alcohol percentage recommendation in mind.
Honeydew.
