Flu season is a big deal, no matter what year. But here we are...at the beginning of sick season and months into a global pandemic. (Never thought I’d utter those words.)  I do what I can to stay healthy and not get sick, but this year is important. Like “lives-depend-on-it” important.

There many steps you can take to help prevent the flu. Try these three simple tips for starters:

1. 1. Get an annual flu vaccination.
   2. Stay away from people who are sick.
   3. Wash your hands with soap and water.  

Why it’s important to stay healthy in 2020: Social distancing and wearing a mask are just a couple of ways to do your part in staying healthy and avoid contracting any virus. It ultimately keeps you out of the hospital, so there is more space, staff, and hospital resources that can be dedicated to COVID-19 patients.

HOW JOUER FIGHTS THE FLU

When COVID hit and the needs of the community changed, we expanded our skincare assortment to include sanitizing products that help keep us germ-free. We also made masks. Each of these helps contribute to stopping the spread of germs in the age of COVID-19 and flu season.

Hand 2 Hand Sanitizer Wipes

Our Sanitizing Wipes are gentle yet effective with 60% alcohol, the CDC-recommended amount. And because they are made with glycerin, the formula keeps hands soft instead of drying out your skin. They come in 25 individual packs and fit perfectly in your pocket, purse, lunch or diaper bag.

Hand 2 Hand Sanitizer Spray

This Spray has a balanced formula with 80% alcohol and no added fragrance. Byrdie.com even named it one of the best non-drying hand sanitizers. Keep one in your car, purse, kitchen, and on your desk.

Floral Mask

It might be easy to pick up a disposable face mask at your local CVS or grocery store, but there are so many comfortable, safe options out there that are also stylish. Our face masks are made of a breathable cotton blend, have adjustable straps, and come in elegant white or brown floral patterns.
