Beauty and wellness professionals should change gloves when?

• A. Before every client
• B. After every single use
• C. After lunch
• D. At the end of the day

Answer: (B)

Gloves act as a disposable barrier to prevent cross-contamination, so they should be changed after every single use. This means after finishing with one client or after completing a task that involved contaminated materials, you switch to a fresh pair before starting with the next client or task. Replacing gloves between clients helps stop microbes or residues from moving from one person, tool, or surface to another. Always dispose of the used gloves and perform hand hygiene before putting on a new pair. Lunchtime or end-of-day changes don’t protect against contamination between clients, so gloves should be changed between clients or tasks and whenever they’re torn or compromised.
