It’s that time of year when germs tend to be going around even more than ever. Do yourself and those you care about a favor and make sure you practice good handwashing. When you take the extra time to thoroughly lather up your hands with soap and hot water, you can go a long way toward reducing your risk of getting sick! There’s too much fun stuff going on right now to miss out, so wash your hands!
We’re celebrating National Handwashing Awareness Week with a refresher on proper handwashing technique! Handwashing is a key tactic in preventing the spread of common illnesses that are known to circulate more easily in the winter, like the flu and norovirus.
Another tip for helping limit viral spread? Avoid touching your face, including your eyes, nose, and mouth, excessively.
And a tip from us healthcare workers if your skin is extra-dry from all the washing: Add a small bottle of moisturizer to your daily essentials so you can soothe your hands on-the-go!
