DIY Hand Sanitizer Tutorials

I don’t know how I manage to get sick over 10 times a year, but I do. I even obsessively wash my hands and carry around hand sanitizer! I must have the weakest immune system ever.

If you’re crazy like me and need hand sanitizer constantly, the cost of buying it all the time really adds up. Why not make your own, instead?

And hey – this dude on YouTube says a lot of store-bought hand sanitizers are bad! Hand Sanitizers Cause Hundreds of Child Poisonings: WCVBtv on YouTube

Below, there are so many different ways that you can make hand sanitizer. Honestly, I don’t even know which one I should try or which one will be the most effective. But at least I can research more easily now!

Click on the photo or link to get the tutorial. Stay well!
