Keep Calm & Moisturize

Canadian health authorities have provided guidelines to help reduce the risk of infection and spreading the Coronavirus (COVID-19) to others.  We need to take this seriously and here is a list of important steps to take:

Practice social distancing immediately.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer, if soap and water are not available

When coughing or sneezing:

• Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand
• Dispose of any tissues you have used as soon as possible in a lined waste basket and wash your hands afterwards

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth

Clean the following high-touch surfaces frequently with household cleaners or diluted bleach (1 part bleach to 9 parts water):

• Toys
• Toilets
• Phones
• Electronics
• Door handles
• Bedside tables
• Television remotes

PREVENTION, BECAUSE IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY!

With all these precautionary measures, are your hands starting to suffer? Constant washing and the use of alcohol-based sanitizers, which are very drying, can play havoc with your hands. This includes excessive dryness, sensitivity, redness, sores, cracked and weeping skin - which can ultimately lead to hand dermatitis* if you’re not careful. A hydrating, soothing and repairing hand cream can help wonders.  Don’t get discouraged, even if it feels like you’re on a merry-go-round and struggling between washing, disinfecting and moisturizing.
