Hand sanitizers can dry out nails

The alcohol that is the main ingredient in most hand sanitizers has a drying effect on both skin and nails. A dryer nail means that it is less able to flex without breaking. Use of Triclosan based sanitizers can lead to new strains of bacteria, so it's not necessarily preferable. Use hand sanitizer when necessary, but also remember to keep hands away from your face & its openings, which let germs invade.

Better yet, use acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine for a natural way to boost your immune system. It's impossible to completely avoid exposure to germs! Visit www.AcuSpaWellness.com for more info
