disposable gloves and then use sanitizer on them — an approach Silverberg does not recommend.
“When we apply hand sanitizer on our bare skin, we can feel if we covered the entire surface of the hands and fingers,” he shares.
“But when wearing gloves, we limit the ability to feel this and might miss some spots on the gloves and then accidentally carry some germs.” It makes more sense to change gloves and/or wash or sanitize hands often, Silverberg notes.
5. Wear gloves when cleaning
Cleaning products are especially harsh on the skin.
“People should always wear gloves when using antiseptic wipes and cleaning products,” Silverberg adds.
6. Sterilize containers
If you carry bottles of soap and moisturizer with you, clean and sterilize the containers to remove harmful germs.
And remember: Moisturizer should not be applied unless hands are clean, to prevent contaminating the product.
