People on Twitter have started turning hand sanitiser into a slightly weird meme, posting threads of their fave celebrities looking exactly like bottles of the goo. 

Hand sanitiser is really having its moment in the spotlight due to the coronavirus. It was one of the first items that people reported being sold out, as everyone rushed to make sure their hands are clean.

And while it’s in the cultural zeitgeist, people have started naturally combining it with something else that is also very important to our wellbeing: hot celebrities. One person decided that the squeaky clean Chris Evans was the perfect candidate.

And they were not wrong. The thread has many examples of Evans looking hot next to various bottles, but most crucially includes this one where Evans is walking his dog.

Some people are using the celebrity thread to share a message of hand-washing, including this thread of Harry Styles, which just feels right.

VERY importantly, according to me, there is also a J-Lo thread, which includes her famous dress.

And other less-famous outfits, but still important to see (again, according to me).

Lil Nas was an obvious candidate, as the most colourful man on earth.

It is important to keep posting pics of your favourite hot celebrities during this time. It’s also important to keep washing your hands. Using soap and water is fine, but if you are using hand sanitiser, here is a non-celebrity thread to help you get it right.
