Is it possible to have my Android device see hand gestures to turn on the screen and scroll? While I am cooking with dirty and wet hands, I want to see the recipe on my smartphone without dirtying it.

How may I turn on the display and scroll without touching the phone?

Is there a setting or application that makes my device react on hand gestures to turn on the screen and scroll?

I recommend getting Air Swiper with which you can turn on your device just by swiping above the sensor  (which is located with your front camera), and you can also turn it off by swiping as well.
