DIY Hand Sanitizer

**This should not be used as an alternative to washing hands properly with soap and water**

Here is a little DIY recipe. I used witch hazel in this one, but really if you’re looking for something a little more trustworthy with all the germs and sickness around I would use alcohol. Vodka or rubbing alcohol.

  • 1/2 cup Aloe Vera Gel (I extracted it right from my plant)
  • 1/4 cup witch hazel or alcohol
  • 10 drops tea tree essential oil
  • 10 drops lavender essential oil

*Add more alcohol if it seems too thick. I adjusted essential oils per what scent I wanted to smell more.

*Again.. this is just a fun DIY but the most effective way to prevent illness is proper hand washing.
