President Obama urged people to wash their hands as much as possible to combat this swine flue pandemic. I’ve been washing like Lady Macbeth but there aren’t sinks everywhere I go. So when I’m browsing the racks at a boutique or checking out the newest lipsticks at a makeup counter I keep a bottle of Clean George in my purse.

I used to use Purell when I rode the T in Boston. But the alcohol-based sanitizer would dry out my hands. The Tea Tree and Mauka Oil in Clean George moisturizes like a lotion. My editor at mystyle.com introduced me to the eco-friendly hand purifier about a year ago. I can’t believe I completely forgot to post about it during Earth Month! 

You can buy Clean George at Whole Foods or order the three scents online. For $11.99 you get 400 squirts of natural germ killing goodness. Take that swine flu!
