Real stories on the importance of hand sanitizer

Nina, 31
“I started regularly using hand sanitizer at the start of the year, and I also use it a lot as a new mom.

I use hand sanitizer on-the-go. We all touch door handles, buttons or surfaces without thinking about it, so I like to have one on me at all times. I also use it at home, if it’s not always possible or practical to wash my hands. Sometimes, I can’t leave the baby alone after changing her diaper or she might need soothing. So, I carry one on me when I leave the house and keep them dotted around my home for parenting emergencies.”

All Dove hand sanitizers are 99.99% effective against many common germs, with an extra bonus thanks to the unique moisturizing blend.

“I’m an epilepsy technician, so have known about hand sanitizer importance (and used it at work) for some years now. As a grandmother, I’ve always tried to teach the little ones in my family the importance of handwashing. So, when we all had to step up our hand hygiene routines, there was no question around when or where to use hand sanitizer. I use it when travelling, shopping, and eating out. It’s now part of my daily life.

I use formulas with strong alcohol smells all day at work, so at home I like a more pleasant experience that won’t leave my skin feeling dry.”

“I started using hand sanitizer while I was working in my school. Before this, I’d only ever used hand sanitizer if I was on holiday or somewhere that I didn’t think would have any hand wash.

As a gym teacher, I use hand sanitizer before each of my lessons and then every 15 minutes during the lesson. It’s turned into a natural habit at work, and when I’m out and about on the weekend. I’m always carrying hand sanitizer with me now. I want my hands to feel clean when I’m out and at work when I can’t get to a sink! I like a hand sanitizer that’s perfumed and alcohol percentage is important for me, too. I want my hands to feel cleaner. The most important thing is that it should be smooth and thick but not sticky, and dry quickly! Anything watery is the worst.”
