Let's figure out which works better and kills more germs - soap or antiseptic.
Antiseptic
Sanitizer, or in another way - antiseptic is a great product that can be used when there is no way to wash your hands. And this is the main plus of the funds. Plus, an antiseptic really helps reduce the chances of transmission of the virus.
But he cannot destroy some bacteria, because he is not omnipotent.
The disadvantage of this product is also the sediment that remains after its use, which is not very pleasant on the skin, and this makes the hands slippery.
Regular use of an antiseptic dries the skin a lot.

Why is plain soap more effective?
Antiseptic is a good alternative to soap, but not a complete replacement. An antiseptic will kill germs, but it will not remove all dirt like soap does. By the way, it is not necessary to buy antibacterial soap, ordinary soap is enough.
How to use?
It is necessary to wash your hands with soap for 20-30 seconds, thoroughly washing your palms and between your fingers.
The antiseptic should be applied generously to the hands, rubbing between palms until the product is absorbed and the hands are dry. The process should take at least 20 seconds. If the product has dried on hands in 5-10 seconds, it means that it was not enough and it will not be as effective.
