HOW TO MAKE A HAND SANITIZER

They fear of ebola may not be the beginning of wisdom anymore at the moment given how quickly we handled it over here. But then, you can still learn a thing extra from the seeming 'rise and fall' of the ugly epidemic. Here, I got some good tips from Sisi Yemmie on how to make yourself a bottle of hand sanitizer. Enjoy!

She says, she likes senrenere so she used:

• 8-10 drops of Lavender Essential oil (I would have preferred orange because I don't like the scent of lavender)
• 1/3 cup of K-Y Gel or some people use Aloe Vera Gel ( KY GEL has glycerin so it will be moisturizing for your hands)
• 2/3 cup of Rubbing Alcohol (methylated spirit)
• Empty bottle (to pour in your sanitizer when made)
• Glass bowl for mixing (because essential oils can leave almost a permanent flavour on plastic)
• Daaazaaaal!

Essential oils have antiseptic properties, also rubbing alcohol (methylated spirit) is a great disinfectant and it dries up instantly (like ogogoro) so in actual fact, you can use any of the items alone to sanitize your surroundings.  You can add water to rubbing alcohol and that can be your sanitizer; it doesn't have to always be in a gel form. 

Method: Mix these items together, shake vigorously until it blends. Mine had bits of the K-Y Gel but after leavening it for  a few hours, it all melted and was a perfect gel! Try it!
