Abstract
During the Covid 19 pandemic, the use of handsanitizers has increased rapidly. Even so, not all people in society really understand about this liquid. Even millennials need a more detailed explanation about the use of handsanitizers for them. This paper describes our efforts in providing counseling about handsanitizers to millennials. We use whatsapp groups to interact with them. In the group, they threw a lot of confusion about the handsanitizer. We explain a number of details about the mechanism of action, precautions against side effects, the composition of the handsanitizer, to the correct method of hand sterilization. This discussion rolled on 2-4 May, when the pandemic began to break out in Indonesia. At the end of the session, we confirmed that after the discussion they had proper attitude and knowledge about handsanitizer.
