There is no getting away from the C word - Christmas now have a rival for the title that gives a groan - Coronavirus! Over the last 6 months, you have probably washed your hands more, sang happy Birthday so many times you never want to hear it again, been through countless wipes, gels and other lotions and potions which promise to kill 99.9% of germs. Sanitizing out hands has become the norm, but it can be cute and fun too.
Naf! Stuff kindly sent over this adorable little collection of products. It features a Mint & Eucalyptus Hand Sanitiser and Hand Mist which fit perfectly into the accompanying cloth bag and then fits into your handbag. Naf! Stuff are a Vegan & Cruelty free hand and nail care product brand who offer all things nails - oils, pens, SOS Kits and so much more.
The Mint & Eucalyptus Hand Sanitser (£7 50ml) is vegan-friendly and contains 62% alcohol and when sprayed onto your hands, rather than have a really strong scent of cheap sambuca (like Ikea) it actually smells fresh thanks to both the mint, which is the dominant scent and then the Eucalyptus which is there in the background. Anyone who is familiar with the Bath and Bodyworks Eucalyptus Mint candles will know the scent I am trying to describe - it is that one.
As well as those two scents there is also a few others worth mentioning too:
- Alcohol: An Antiseptic & a disinfectant, it’s an essential to sanitise your hands on the go!
- Glycerin: a natural moisturiser to counteract the drying qualities of alcohol, and protect against irritation
- Aloe Vera Leaf Juice: this one has many benefits to the skin thanks to it's high water content. It's hydrating, soothing, cooling & anti-inflammatory and helps the skin to regenerate
So, not only is this a sanitiser which protects the hands, it also has moisturising properties too.
The Hydrating Hand Care Mist (£10 50ml) is perfect to be used any time of day with or without the sanitiser and for me, I tend to use it after washing my hands or if I have been in a public
space. As with the sanitiser, this spray uses
- Eucalyptus Oil: an essential oil famous for its antibacterial properties and fresh, clean scent
- Tea Tree Leaf Oil: an A+ ingredient... antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal!
- Pentylene Glycol: super hydrating, antimicrobial and will leave your hands with a silky finish after use.
It is a lovely way to refresh your hands at any point during the day and it is the one I have reached for the most since they both arrived.
You can find both of these products here via Naf! Stuff and they can be purchased on their own or as part of a little kit, like I have for £15. Neither products leave your hands feeling dry or lacking in moisture, if anything it is the opposite, lovely smooth, fresh scented hands.
