15 Jan GIVEAWAY, How To Prevent Getting The Flu: 3 Simple Steps To Beating A Cold, Flu With Beauty Products
As you may already know, flu season is in full swing. According to Dr. Michael Roizen, YouBeauty.com Wellness expert, “symptoms range from sniffles and chills to a high fever that keeps you home from work all week, or worse—flu lands 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills more than 30 thousand in this country alone.”
As businesses reopen and we all head back to work after the holidays, our immune system needs all the help it can get to keep it fully functioning and free from germs and viruses. Here are some quick tricks that will help you to avoid the dreaded flu and keep you feeling healthy & happy all season long!
1. Wash Your Hands!
Washing your hands is probably the single most important thing you can do to avoid catching the flu. Be sure to constantly wash your hands to rid them of the germs that may cause you to get sick. Wash them as often as you can!
Suggested Product: Bath & Body Works Antibacterial Deep Foaming Hand Soap ($5.50 each)
Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap is the perfect way to refresh your hands and kill off powerful germs – plus, the wide variety of fragrances will leave your hands smelling delicious all day long.
2. Carry an Antibacterial PocketBac in your Bag!
Obviously, when you’re out and about, you’re going to be touching lots of things that others have touched before you. It’s smart to keep an antibacterial sanitizer in your bag so that you can fight germs as often as you want. Just one small squirt on your hands will kill over 99.9% of germs.
Suggested Product: Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial PocketBac Sanitizing Hand Gel ($1.50 each)
Spread love, not germs. This pocket-sized bottle contains natural ingredients and powerful germ killers that, wherever you go, get hands clean and lightly scented.
3. Be Proactive.
Showing flu-like symptoms? Don’t wait! Visit your doctor immediately and start taking medicine as soon as possible. If caught in the early stages, you may be able to avoid the flu before it fully strikes.
Suggested Product: Boiron Oscillococcinum Flu Remedy ($13.95)
For temporary relief of symptoms of flu such as fever, chills, body aches and pains.
Be sure to remember these simple tips and you will surely be on track and flu-free!

Posted at 10:12h, 16 JanuaryI got the flu shot, eat an orange every day and take a multi vitamin. Have soup for dinner. Exercise and try to avoid people who are sick! Oh and no hand shakes either!

Posted at 10:15h, 16 JanuaryI ward off the flu by washing my hands and cleaning my phone at work beause you never know who has used it while you were gone. Also after going to the bathroom and washing my hands under hot water with soap I use the hand towel after drying my hands to open the door.

Posted at 11:24h, 16 JanuaryI wash my hands every chance I get trying to ward off the flu. I pack hand sanitizers in the kids lunch boxes to be used before eating. I keep a box of Clorox wipes handy at my desk as well. I drink plenty of water and eat healthy. I hope it helps!
