12 Lowkey Hand Sanitizers Made by Some of Our Favorite Beauty Brands

When we first hunkered down on safer-at-home orders, it was pretty much impossible to find essentials at the store such as toilet paper and cleaning supplies. It’s gotten a little easier but hand sanitizer is one product that is still continually sold out. Well, did you know some of the best hand sanitizer is actually coming from beauty brands now? It’s true. Both luxury and indie brands have added hand sanitizer to their offerings and most (if not all) are donating to those in need, too.

We rounded up some of our favorite hand sanitizers made from beauty brands that are available to purchase—for now. Grab them before they sell out. Each includes at least 60 percent alcohol, which is the minimum amount the CDC recommends. (This isn’t the time for alcohol-free varieties!) Many also include hand-softening ingredients in addition to germ-fighters to give your hands a little care.

Of course, hand sanitizer doesn’t replace hand washing. When you get home or find a bathroom, wash up for at least 20 seconds. But in a pinch when you’re somewhere without access to soap and water, these are clutch for keeping your hands as germ-free as possible. But still, don’t touch your face.

Summer House Season 4 Reunion Fashion

Like everything she wears, Paige DeSorbo’s one shoulder lavender mini dress at the Season 4 Summer House reunion (yes they are getting a reunion show this year…well a virtual one at least!) is the epitome of fash-un on a budget. And tbh we’re just hoping that Luke’s camera monitor broke down before filming, because we really wouldn’t want anyone to further ruffle those amazing feathers ruffles.

Intensive Moisturizing Creams to Treat Dry, Cracked & Irritated Skin Fast

When your skin is feeling extra parched, tight, cracked and uber irritated, swapping out a lightweight moisture cream for a richer, more intensive formula is key to treating the discomfort and getting your complexion back to normal as quickly as possible. With that being said, however, when you switch to a heavier cream product, you also run the risk clogging your pores or simply ending up with extra greasy skin that feels like a straight-up oil slick—and if you’re looking to add makeup on top, you can just forget about it staying put for anything longer than an hour or so.

Whether you battle dry and irritated skin year-round or the dehydration just crops up from time to time (often when you least expect it), keeping an intensive, thicker moisturizer in your skincare lineup is essential if you want to act fast to heal and soothe the flare-up. Not all heavy moisturizers are created equal, and it is possible to find a super nourishing cream that tackles dry patches, redness, peeling, and cracking without going overboard on the oil and emphasize pores and other imperfections. Ahead, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite high-potency hydrators to always have on hand.

Spotted—A $13 Pink Wig on the Senate Floor for a Very Good Reason

It’s not every day you see a fashion hair color on the Senate floor. That’s one reason why Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s pink wig made such a statement. The democratic senator serving Arizona hit the senate floor on Monday looking almost unrecognizable. She wore a face mask just like her colleagues, but she also wore a pink-ish/purple-ish bob wig. When she had to identify herself, she pointed to the glasses that everyone knows her for. But why the wig during such an important gathering? Well, not surprisingly, it has a bigger meaning.

According to reporter Brahm Resnik, Sinema wore the funky $12.99 wig to set an “example of social distancing from hair salons.” We don’t know if she wanted to cover her roots, hide a DIY haircut or just because it would catch everyone’s attention and get her message across. Either way, it’s clear what Sinema is saying without really saying it: stay home.

As much as many of us are going a little stir crazy, being able to stay home is a privilege. If you want to support your hairstylist at this time, this about buying a gift card for a future visit. That way, when it’s safe to sit in the chair again, you’ll have supported them during a scary time and pre-paid for your much-needed service.

Although we don’t know exactly what Sinema was thinking in her wig, we’re pretty sure she’d agree with this sentiment. Just last week, she tweeted the importance of staying home right now, writing: “Social distancing is critical to saving lives and keeping Arizonans healthy. Please continue to stay home as much as possible, and maintain at least 6 feet from others in public.”

That being said, Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey announced plans to re-open hair salons (as well as dine-in restaurants and barbershops) as early as May 8, though many disagree saying it’s too soon for it to be safe.
