The professional beauty industry is an industry that thrives on social interaction, providing services, and of course, personal responsibility.

These aspects require service providers to be in close proximity to delicate areas, potentially hazardous conditions, as well as some diseases and disorders. Bearing that in mind, it is of paramount importance that skin care professionals use their personal protective equipment (PPEs), like gloves, as often as deemed necessary. Using this equipment properly, frequently, and at the appropriate time can mean all the difference in keeping not only them safe, but also their clients. It is always advisable to familiarize yourself and your staff with these guidelines regularly to maintain a safe work environment.
