5Skin Dryness
Alcohol in hand sanitizers may work as an antiseptic to kill viruses and bacteria. However, it may also have a drying effect on the skin. Applying this product to the hands too much during the day would remove moisture out of the skin. This would lead to skin that is flaky, dry, and very sensitive to the touch. This is not only uncomfortable for many people, but may also increase the risk of attracting germs. [5]
