What should I know about Hand Sanitizing:

Hand eczema has been on the rise since the pandemic started, many hand sanitizers are not recommended for children under 2 yo, some others are even not recommended for any children or pregnant women. The most effective way of making sure your hands are clean is always hand-washing. Be encouraged to read the labels of the hand sanitizers you use. Lysol wipes are not meant to be used on the skin.
