Canadians try to keep the flu at bay

This cold season, more Canadians are germ-conscious than ever before, and it might be affecting their choice of bath and body products. Rather than picking out a pleasantly-scented soap, people are perhaps more inclined to grab popular bath and body items that have antibacterial properties.

According to the Edmonton Sun, the city of Edmonton is taking extra steps to keep residents safe. There will be hand-sanitizing stations set up in public places to encourage people to keep their hands clean, while stopping the spread of germs. Good, old-fashioned soap is still the best way to kill germs, advises Dr. Andre Corriveau to the news provider, but antibacterial bath and body solutions are still wise to use.

For green Canadian parents or ladies who want to smell fruity, there are some organic bath and body hand sanitzer products available. One example is available through the Nature's Paradise website. It has a pineapple scent and is great for environment-conscious skin as it is made with organic alcohol, organic clarified lemon juice and organic pineapple extract.
