Hello everyone I am just wondering if you can give me an advice about safety and protection while performing the facials, I am loving my job and helping my clients with their skin concerns but there are sometimes when I am not sure if I should wear gloves all the time or not? I find very unconfortable to do a facial with gloves since I can't really feel the client skin but I know it is important to protect ourselves. Does anybody knows what kind of gloves are very good to use? Thank you in advance.

using gloves also has cost saving implications -- the expensive products are soaking into your skin, just the clients!
Awesome thanks Nina that is what I do too bc there are some weird open wounds sometimes I do not know what is it or I had clients with cold sores (Herpes Simplex) and they said is nothing but I can tell is that so I wear gloves but I do not like wearing gloves at all feeling the client skin and they feeling my touch makes the facial more special but I know we have to also becareful and protect ourselves. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much Nina I appreciate your advice I agree with you is important to protect ourselves :)
I do as much as possible. For sure during extractions. I also do a quick cleanse after extractions while my gloves are still on before post extraction products. Always better to be safe and treat everyone as they may have something.
Thanks Cynthia I appreciate your reply you right we need to be careful and protect ourselves and the clients as well.
Yes, I glove up for everyone everytime. Do not want to get or give herpes. Yes it is a pain and yes I do wash my hands before and after I glove up. These days, you can't be too careful. We were taught to use them in school and I never noticed them as feeling weird. Let one person get something from you that you got from someone else and you will be blamed so don't put yourself out there.
Thanks Shelley I totally agree I used gloves the last two days at work and clients did not complain about it I did because I saw something weird in their skin and I also had a little finger cut I explain clients that I was protecting them and me and they were ok, I would love to wear gloves always if the clients are ok with it because I do enjoy feeling their skin and I am sure they do enjoy the natural touch than the rubber touch with gloves but is a matter of health maybe I will end up using gloves always. Thanks again :)
For me the sense of touch is very emotion a l for my clients especially my little old ladies. I feel that touch cannot be done with gloves. (Except in certain circumstances, natural a lot) .
Hi Amy is true I do hate doing facials with gloves :/ but sometimes is best thanks for your reply :)
As we talk about this, I am reminded that cold sores are a contra-indication to doing facials. It's been niggling me so I looked it up and it says so in my milady book. Fyi, it's on my release form also as a contra-indication.
