The main prevention of coronavirus infection is hand hygiene.

And the best remedy is ordinary soap. But there are situations when it is not possible to wash hands: for example, in transport. Then antiseptics come to the rescue.

To combat viruses and bacteria, you need to choose alcohol-containing agents. Such antiseptics are most effective and not harmful to the skin.. The only thing, with repeated use, dryness may appear. But it’s easy to fix with a moisturizer..

The name of the product may contain the word " The first are cheaper, but inferior to the second in the number of pathogens destroyed.

Alcohol disinfectors have a pungent odor, but it does not remain on the hands: it disappears after 15-20 seconds after treatment.

It is not recommended to use alcohol-based products for baby skin; choose water-based alternatives. They are less effective, but still have a certain range of protection and are safe for the child..

Rules for the use of antiseptics:.

squeeze out approximately 3 ml of the product into the palm of your hand and spread over the entire surface of the hands;

handle hands for at least 30 seconds;

pay special attention to nails and “pockets” under them;

wait for the product to dry;

apply moisturizer as needed.

Remember: no antiseptics can cope with pathogens like washing hands with soap. Perform a hygiene procedure every time after visiting public places, toilets, vehicles, before meals and after.
