After effects of using a hand sanitizer and it's surprising uses

Hand Sanitizers! Soaps! Social Distancing! these words became the saviors during this time of our lives. Feels like nature reasoned with us for the act we do.

Normally, hand sanitizer is of two types, alcohol based (kills germs) non alcohol based (clears the skin). The alcohol based comes with two main different bases yet similar property of Chlorine based, ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol.

Though it is used to kill the bacteria and viruses present in our hand the after effects caused by it are many-a-few. In this, we're going to unveil them.

 Decreases the life span of the skin cell

Alcohol based sanitizers are basically used to kill the micro-organisms, in order to do so, it degrades the surface of the skin cell. We all know, our skin cells are replaced every cycle, which is a month. Since we're using them often, the cycle is disturbed. Moreover, the replacement of the new skin cell takes longer time which leaves our hands vulnerable. By this, the essential good bacteria needs to be in our hands will never able to find its place.

Moisture is ripped from our hands

The nature of an alcohol, when it gets in contact is to destruct ones molecular structure. When applied in any organic substance it sucks out the water particles and leaves it dry. Our body finds a way to restore the moisture but repetitive usage without giving some time to restore its normal form will rip off the moisture. 

Weaker nails and nail beds

It's good to have a hygienic hand and better when we put effort to have it especially covering the nail beds to avoid germs. But when the sanitizer is used on nails and on its bed it becomes brittle. The integrity one's nail vary from another but it surely will weaken the nail and the nail bed will loosen its grip to hold them. When constantly used by being over precautious, the nail will break and fall.

 

Creates headache often

It is known, our nerve endings are present in our palms and feet. They usually hold the deoxygenated blood, when using the sanitizers, our hand gets tighten and gets dry. By this, the blood flow at the end gets shrunk for a time and becomes normal. But while happening so, a partial headache is occurred. Though it rarely happens, people above age 50 have experienced it frequently.

This Pandemic made us over cautious about virus free surrounding. To have it, these hand sanitizers are applied on many objects we daily use, Like, Mobile, specs, cuff links but the chemical used in them will create cracks in them when applied. The reason behind this is, one, the sanitizers comes with a solution called Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) which reacts with fiber objects, two, every fiber objects now comes with alkaric material.
