The winter is prime time for illnesses like colds and flus to go around, so it’s more important than ever to find ways to protect yourself from picking up germs. Hand sanitiser is always a great go-to, as not only does it kill off the germs and bacteria straight away, but it’s easy enough to throw in your bag and carry around with you on the go.

But long gone are the days of hand sanitisers that leave your hands dry, sticky and smelling overwhelmingly of alcohol. Instead there’s a new wave of skin-friendly products that banish germs, smell great, and – in the case of Glow Hub’s Hand Sanitiser Cleansing Mist – celebrity approved.

The Hand Sanitiser Cleansing Mist has become the accessory of choice for Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, who raved about them when speaking to Allure about her heavy rotation products. Millie said: “I’m a mom – there’s literally one in every single bag I have”.

Although they’re the perfect size for throwing into a handbag (or even a pocket) the Hand Sanitiser Cleansing Mist also comes with an attachment so you can pop it on your keys, bag or work lanyard to keep it instantly accessible without having to rifle through your belongings. It also has a spray formula, rather than a thick gel, which means it absorbs quicker and is easier to use on the move.

They’re also priced at just £7 each, so they’re affordable enough to stock up on like Millie. Each mist comes with a sticker pack to let you personalise them and turn them into cute accessories, and there are three different scents to choose from – none of which smell like alcohol.

Hot Sauce is a cherry and smoky scent, whilst Dopamine smells like florals and wild spice. For those who prefer something fresher, Pipe Dream has notes of citrus zest and forest air, making these smell far more like your favourite perfumes than something medical.

All three scents can be used on their own or layered together to create your own unique scent. As well as smelling good, the Hand Sanitiser Cleansing Mists are also packed with glycerin to help keep your hands hydrated, which is a must especially when winter already dries out your skin.

Glow Hub’s Hand Sanitiser Cleansing Mist isn’t alone in its plight to upgrade our hand-cleaning needs. Aesop has also launched its Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Mist which is £13 and leaves your hands clean and moisturised without the need for water. You could also head to Amazon, where the Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Spray is currently £5.09 and comes in three scents including strawberry.
