Handwashing & Sanitizing : Cancer Project #24

Finding a good soap that is cruelty-free is not so difficult. Finding one that is not expensive is a little harder. Enter the Bath & Body sales. They’re always having one. Sometimes you just have to wait a few weeks for the product you want to be half-price. But, God bless them, they always have sales. (Not sponsored. Just appreciate the sales.) And if it’s your birthday, tell them. They’ll give you something worth about $10. I got an air freshener holder for my car visor – in a beagle!

Hand Soap:
After using the Dial and having my hands dry out to the texture of sand paper, I switched to softer soap. I started with Mrs. Meyer’s but also have Dr. Bronner’s and two different Bath & Body soaps on my counter (depending on which scent I’m in the mood for). All of these are much gentler and I think they’ll do what you need them to do as far as bacteria is concerned. Just remember that old adage about singing “Happy Birthday” while you wash your hands. I also keep a small travel-size Dr. Bronner’s on my desk at work. When I use the restroom, I just take it with me rather than using the harsh soap that’s supplied in the building’s restrooms. (I can also be happy knowing I’m not using soap tested on animals.)

Hand Sanitizers:
Since I’ve had to start using the hand sanitizers, I’ve become addicted to the Bath & Body line. They’re small enough to tote around in your purse (1 fl. oz.) or to tuck away in your car or your desk drawer at work. I keep one by my bed (in Calm, a mix of Patchouli and vanilla) and one by the sofa. Then I keep a line of them on the kitchen counter by the pile of everything that goes with me in the morning. They’re lined up like little dominoes, ready to tumble. I use the one on the end, then move it to the other end. That way I keep them in rotation. Although sometimes I want a particular scent – like Japanese Cherry Blossom or the beachy Honolulu Sun. Here’s a hint: When trying them out at the store, use the sink. Wash between every couple of smell tests, otherwise you get overwhelmed with the aromas and you can’t tell what you’re smelling any more.

Hand Lotion:
I’ll speak more to this at another time. For now, all you need to know is shea butter. Most of the lotions you buy at the drug store will not be luxuriant enough to deal with the dry hands you’ll suffer from. I found a tube of lotion at, you guessed it, Bath & Body when they had Christmas sales going on. It was a 1 oz tube for just $3-4. Worth it. So worth it.

Filming note: You’ll see the lighting change off and on throughout the video. This is one of the issues I have filming at home and I’m not sure why. There is nothing that moves past the window yet every time I film with the curtain pulled aside, this happens. I’ll have to research more about lighting.
