Summary:
Like other parts of our body, our hands also need special care. Dry and chapped hands can be a very unwelcome experience and need special treatment. In recent times, use of sanitizers has only increased the problem.
Before coronavirus hit the world, a sanitizer wasn't a familiar word. Come the pandemic and the word became a buzzword. Since our hands were among the biggest carriers of Covid-19 virus, experts kept telling us about the importance of sanitizing our hands.
