{ Mineral Marge }

Even though we've just entered the summer season, I see people with stuffy noses who are coughing and sneezing and I'm doing my best to keep the germs at bay. Alcohol-based sanitizers are popular for killing germs. I used to use them, too, but I had to stop because the alcohol was too harsh on my skin. Then I found an effective non-alcohol product called PureWorks, originally designed for health care workers. PureWorks is gentle on my skin, yet it is effective in killing 99.9% of bacteria and germs that cause illness. Another thing I like about PureWorks is it has persistence. In other words, unlike alcohol-based products, PureWorks can keep working for hours. I've gotten in the habit of applying it throughout the day. PureWorks comes in foam, spray, and lotion form as a sanitizer to carry with you. PureWorks also makes a soap product and a hard surface disinfectant. I keep them all handy. ( www.GermZappers.com )
