The Battle Between Hand Sanitizer Vs. Washing Your Hands

When you wash your hands you use soap and water you are removing the dirt and debris from the days activities. Correct? 

Now think about this, when you use hand sanitizer it seems like a really great idea in the little moments when you are no where near a bathroom or sink right? Well the bigger picture is that hand sanitizer doesn't really clean your hands the way they should be cleaned. Hand sanitizer is made up of mostly alcohol in a gel form and well alcohol is a very abrasive solution and really isn't the best way to clean your skin.

Where does all that dirt go after you sanitize? It doesn't evaporate into thin air like the hand sanitizer does. I see people using hand sanitizer more then they should be actually washing their hands and it bothers me because society has made it seem like it is Ok to replace actual soap with hand sanitizer.

Another key reason why using hand sanitizer isn't safe all the time is because if you use it too often you can build a barrier where it won't work for you anymore because you have used it too much. Also, alcohol is not the best solution to always be applying to your skin because:

A) It will dry your skin out and you will develop itchy and peeling skin

B) On your hands there are tiny open pores that you cannot see with the naked eye and you are allowing the alcohol to enter potentially into your blood stream and under your skin's epidermis(layers).

Please if you have a bathroom near by use that and use your soap and water rather then pumping hand sanitizer into your skin.
