Do check if an alcohol based hand sanitizer – with active ingredients such as ethanol or isopropyl – is formulated with the minimum alcohol concentration of 60% for highest effectiveness

Do supervise toddlers or older children while they use the product and never let your child lick their hands immediately afterwards

Do apply a hand sanitizer on dried hands starting from the back to the wrist and then continuing on the palm, fingers, interdigital spaces, nails and under jewelry until when your skin will be dry again
