2. AESOP Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash

Whether you find me on the go or at my desk, chances are a bottle of Aesop's Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash ($10) is nearby. While it's a little pricey for hand sanitizer, my dependence on it (and my total fear of getting sick) has made the splurge worthwhile. Unlike drugstore hand sanitizer, Aesop's mix has a soft scent of lavender and orange. But what I love best is that my hands still feel soft after using it, thanks to all the moisturizing ingredients it contains.
