Is it okay to use Hand Sanitizer on your face?

I figured, since it gets rid of bacteria, and seems to eliminate oils, would it be possible to use it on your face, as long as you keep it away from your eyes?
Answers:
I usually use acetone to clean my face, but what the hell, go ahead and use the hand sanitizer..it is just glycolized alcohol which will dry out all the pores in your face
I wouldn't advise it. You will dry out your face b/c hand sanitzers generally contain alcohol.
yes
HAND sanitizer.
No! The skin on your face is a lot different and more sensitive than the skin on your hands. Use face products that cleanse and eliminate oils.
Won't do any hurt . plus you will get lemon-lime scent
Don't use it on your face unless you want your skin to dry out and be flaky!
Follow the directions on the product, and only use the alcohol type which do not pose the dangers of the two common antimicrobial agents, triclosan and triclocarban, which can accumulate in groundwater and soil.See the FDA-related article about the use of such products which carry a risk but no measurable reward to the consumer. Here is an excerpt but see the full article in the attached link: "The FDA asked for the panel's advice because of a concern that chemicals used in antibacterial soaps could accumulate in the environment and promote potentially dangerous resistant germs.
.
Ruth M. Parker, MD, an associate professor of medicine at Emory University in Atlanta and a member of the panel, called the potential for more antibacterial resistance "absolutely terrifying." "
Yes, but the alcohol it contains may dry out your skin. Be sure not to get it in your eyes or mouth!
I have but use lots of moisturizer after so that it doesnt dry my skin out.
Hand sanitizer has mostly just alcohol which could be very drying for your face. You COULD use it but you might not want to.plain soap and water will do the same job without being too harsh.
Only if you want dry, flaky, skin!
I wouldn't because the skin on the face is more sensitive. You might have a reaction to it.
