During a facial, about how much cleanser should be used, and how is it applied?

• A. A tablespoon of cleanser, applied with bare hands
• B. A pea-sized amount of cleanser, lathered on
• C. A teaspoon of cleanser, applied directly to the face with gloved hands
• D. A cup of cleanser

Answer: (C)

Using about a teaspoon of cleanser provides enough product to cover the entire face and create a light lather, without wasting it or risking over-drying. Apply it directly to the damp skin with gloved hands, then use gentle circular motions to distribute evenly across the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. The gloves help maintain hygiene and prevent contamination while you cleanse. A larger amount would be wasteful and could be harsher on the skin, while too little may not cleanse effectively. Rinse thoroughly and proceed with the next steps.
