Having your hands sterile a majority of the time is not always the best thing for your skin. Anti-bacterial soaps and sanitizers eliminate all bacteria on your skin- whether it is good bacteria or bad bacteria. By eliminating the good bacteria on your skin that regulates viruses and such things, you are making yourself more vulnerable. Use sanitizers and soaps in moderation!
