Given the growing COVID-19 concerns, we'd like to have a thread where we can chat, share updates, and give advice (how the heck are you guys keeping your hands moisturized with all the hand washing?!)What this thread is for:sharing tipsPSAs (i.e. store closings)commiseratingan outlet for extra free time if you're stuck at homegeneral chatting about COVID-19We'd like everyone to feel comfortable in this thread, so while talking about your worries is absolutely fine, please stay away from hyperbolic speculation and doomposting.We'll also be adding relevant resources to the post itself: skincare-related tips and store closings. If you have anything to add to those lists, please let us know!Edit: Comments are now sorted by 'new', so the newest comments will show up at the top. You can change that using the 'sort by' dropdown under the post. Other COVID-19 related threads are still allowed on the sub - so if a new store is closing, feel free to make a separate post! But any duplicates will be redirected here. Same goes for general tips, like a PSA for not using in-store testers. That way we can keep a running list without overwhelming the sub :)This thread will be periodically stickied to the top of the sub, but may be bumped off briefly to make room for other scheduled threads (like the Holy Grail threads).For all things related to COVID-19, check out r/Coronavirus. Skincare tipsDon't use in-store testersAvoid touching your face:[PSA] More on not touching your face - a how-to from the UK Gov's behavioral insights teamTips for frequent hand washing:product recommendations in the stickied comment on this very thread![review] hand care for constant hand washing[PSA] for those frequently washing hands because of Covid-19: I've been using these two humectants to keep my hands from drying out instead of regular moisturizer.Problems in food handlers and the catering industry (DermNet NZ) - an article that's relevant whether or not you're in the food industryProblems with DIY hand sanitizers:[PSA] Labmuffin explains how many DIY hand sanitizer formulas are ineffective to the Covid-19 due to alcohol ratio.Info on packages received by mail:What is your risk of contracting COVID-19 from a package?
