Before a facial service, single-use supplies should be _________.

• A. In a plastic bag
• B. Not used at all
• C. In a closed drawer
• D. On a clean towel, in the order of use

Answer: (D)

Setting up the workspace with single-use supplies on a clean towel in the order you’ll use them keeps the treatment hygienic and efficient. The clean towel provides a sanitary surface and a clear, visible layout, which helps prevent cross-contamination and makes it easy to grab the next item without touching others. Arranging items in the order of use streamlines the workflow, reducing pauses to search for or reposition supplies and lowering the risk of handling non-sterile surfaces after touching a previously used item. Keeping supplies in a plastic bag or storing them in a closed drawer complicates visibility and access, while simply not using them isn’t a viable hygiene practice.
