Soothing relief for hands dry and sore from over washing
With everyone needing to frequently wash their hands for over 20 seconds and the regular use of alcohol laden anti-bacterial hand gel, more and more people are now suffering from dry, sore skin on their hands.
Hand washing is one of the key defences to stop the spread of Covid 19 and government advice urges us to do so much more regularly in the current climate. Soap is effective to remove unwanted germs, but the handwashing process also breaks down the natural oil and wax barrier in the outer dermis.
This moisture barrier is the shield that keeps our skin healthy and hydrated. Applying a deep acting hand cream after washing can help maintain good skin health and prevent cracks and dryness than can cause itching, pain. By not staying on top of this hand hydration, any pre-existing dermatologic conditions like eczema and dermatitis can be exacerbated leaving potential entry points for bacteria is skin becomes broken.

Local groups form to fight Coronavirus
Chigwell, Essex: Cleaners, lawyers, delivery drivers and mental health experts have set up the Chigwell Coronavirus Action Group in an attempt to make the area as safe as possible by setting up the Coronavirus Action Group.
On Sunday 15 March, volunteers from across Chigwell worked together to disinfect public areas including the local Tube Stations (Grange Hill and Chigwell), Bus Stops, Public Play Grounds in Chigwell and Chigwell Row, the Library, the petrol station and hand railings around public footpaths. So far the campaign has raised almost £350.
Other initiatives set up by the group include a shopping delivery service for elderly/vulnerable residents, providing legal advice to people concerned about their employment and anxiety counselling for anyone worried about the spread of Coronavirus.
The Chigwell Coronavirus Action Group was set up by Pranav Bhanot, a Chigwell resident and community organiser in a bid to do his bit to help keep the local area as safe and hygienic. The aim of the initiative is not to cause panic or undue alarm but simply to be as proactive as possible. It is hoped that the campaign will inspire other community groups to take a proactive approach to reduce the impact of Coronavirus.

Do not make your own alcohol gel
There are several recipes doing the rounds on the Internet on a variety of social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook with homemade recipes for alcohol gel cleansers.
The recipes use vodka or surgical spirits and substances such as aloe vera to make alcohol gel.
However, due to the lower alcohol levels in vodka and surgical spirits than in commercial grade alcohol sanitiser gel homemade sanitiser gel will not work.
