She wrote: "30 SECONDS WITH SOAP Y'ALL" The series of pics show how a person's hand glows light blue before being washed. It then shows hardly any difference after a "rinse and shake".

The gel product is rubbed onto the hands like a lotion before being exposed to UV light where it can show a simulated spread of germs. It comes as more than 100,000 cases have been reported globally, with more than 3,400 deaths.
