You need to rub your hands together for 15-30 seconds.
Using hand sanitisers is not recommended when the hands are greasy or dirty. Also, clean your hands with soap and water before eating, and after handling food, playing sports or gardening.
Sanitiser can be harmful for people suffering from dermatological issues such as eczema. If you face skin issues, it is better to wash hands with soap and water, and moisturise them afterwards. If you must use it, apply moisturising cream after the hands are dry. Avoid using sanitisers with essential oils.
Children who are under six years old should use hand sanitiser under adult guidance. Keep it away from reach of kids since there is a danger of them consuming it.
Yes, you must. Rub your hands together until the hand sanitiser feels dry on your skin. However, ensure to not wave your hands while drying them as they will pick up microorganisms that are in the air.
