5 items ladies should have in their handbag this winter

Keep some hand sanitizer with you and use it often to protect yourself against winter illness

As ladies, we have so many things we carry around in our handbags. Our children stuff most of their things in there as well, which is an added frustration.

Here are 5 things you should definitely have in your handbag this winter:

1- Hand cream: Dry hands can make you more susceptible to germs, and can be painful and itchy. Keep them youthfully healthy by carrying some high-quality hand cream in your purse.

2- Tissues: Even when you don’t have a cold, wintry temperatures can cause some embarrassing nose moments. Keep tissues with you at all times to keep your nose in check and to help out a stranger or friend in need as well.

3- Gloves: It’s cold out there, so pack up your cutest mittens and take them with you. You never know when you might need them.

4- Lip balm: Your lips are another part of your skin that can be hit hard by dry winter air. Cracked lips can lead to cold sores and can make smiling very uncomfortable. Keep your happy face on by keeping your favourite lip balm on hand.

5- Hand sanitizer: The most effective way to protect yourself against winter illness is to wash your hands frequently. Running water and soap aren’t always readily available though, so keep some hand sanitizer with you and use it often.
