Safe pair of hands

When it comes to good hand hygiene, there’s no substitute for a thorough soap and water wash, but hand sanitisers are helpful when you’re out and about. To be effective, Public Health England recommends they contain at least 60 per cent alcohol. This high content is drying, so look for ones with moisturising ingredients. Bramley Hand Sanitiser Gel (100ml, £8, bramleyproducts.co.uk) contains rosemary and peppermint oil, while Botanicals Sanitising Spritz (100ml, £8.95, botanicals.co.uk) uses lavender and tea tree.*
