Which practice is most important for maintaining safety with clients during skincare services?

• A. Wipe surfaces and sanitize tools between clients
• B. Reuse towels without washing
• C. Skip sanitizing until end of day
• D. Share towels between clients

Answer: (A)

Safety in skincare services relies on infection control. Wiping surfaces and sanitizing tools between clients creates a clean barrier that stops pathogens from moving from one person to the next. This practice reduces the risk of infections, skin reactions, or irritation and helps protect both clients and the practitioner.

Other options compromise safety: reusing towels without washing can spread microbes, skipping sanitizing until the end of the day allows buildup of contaminants, and sharing towels between clients transfers organisms. Keeping a clearly cleaned environment between each client is the responsible, effective approach.
