Mobile phone, check. Cash and cards, check. Face mask and hand sanitiser? Double-check. When it comes to beauty and personal care essentials in the new normal, hand sanitisers are non-negotiable as they help us to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others especially when we’re out and about.
That being said, these aren’t substitutes for soap and water, so make a mental note to always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water whenever you can. If you’re always pressed for time, though, and need something to always have in your purse for a quick cleanse, ahead are five floral-scented picks to add to cart.
