I Love U Two

You can make as little or as much as you want, but always use a ratio of six parts alcohol to four parts aloe vera gel for it to be effective. If you’re a big germaphobe like I am you can also add tea tree oil — nature’s antiseptic — to the mixture. I put about five drops into every half-cup of sanitizer I make. I also add lavender oil to the mix to kill the medicinal smell. From there, just add your mixture to a small bottle that you can always keep with you.Everyone around me is sick lately, and it has me washing my hands in overdrive, but if I’m not near a sink I use hand sanitizer. The problem is that those little bottles start to add up financially, and I feel bad throwing out so many plastic containers. Recently, my friend shared her recipe for homemade sanitizer with me and I’ve been a convert ever since.

I still think that washing your hands trumps sanitizer, but this recipe is a great alternative to the store-bought stuff.
