what is the importence 0f correct hhand cleansing befor and after contact with client as a make-up artist?

Answer 1

Washing your hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading. Think about all of the things that you touched today - from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose in a tissue and then went and did some gardening. Whatever you did today, you came into contact with germs. It's easy for a germ on your hand to end up in your mouth (or someone elses)!. Think about how many foods you eat with your hands.

You can't wear rubber gloves all day long, but you can wash your hands so those germs don't get a chance to make you or someone else sick.
So when are the best times to wash your hands?

before eating or touching food
after using the bathroom
after blowing your nose or coughing
after touching pets or other animals
after visiting a sick relative or friend

Use warm water (not cold or hot) when you wash your hands.

Use whatever soap you like. Some soaps come in cool shapes and colors or smell nice, but whatever kind that gets you scrubbing is the kind you should use. Antibacterial soaps are OK to use, but regular soap works fine.

Work up some lather on both sides of your hands, your wrists, and between your fingers. Don't forget to wash around your nails. This is one place germs like to hide. Wash for about 10 to 15 seconds -Rinse and dry well with a clean towel.

Answer 2

Your skin produces oils (to keep it waterproof), and so does the skin of your previous client, your next client, and the client after that.

Oil makes the skin a bit sticky (it's how fingerprints are laid down on surfaces), and is constantly trapping microscopic bits of grit and other dirt that floats in the air, and from any surface you touch.

Because you will be brushing your fingers over the client's skin at various points during the process, any grit that has accumulated on your fingers will be transferred to their skin. It will act as an abrasive, damaging the skin. this may cause a reaction that could undermine the effect you are trying to achieve with the make-up.

You will also transfer viruses and bacteria that are normal, and harmless inhabitants of your skin (such as Papilloma virus or Staphylococcus, among many others), onto the skin of the client. Depending on the 'strains' (family types) of these organisms that the client is normally carrying, the transferred populations may be harmless, or they may cause an infection.

Cleansing BEFORE contact with the client will prevent ALMOST all transfer from the previous client (some transfer is inevitable, unless the entire room is steam-cleaned) to the incoming client.

Cleansing AFTER contact with the client minimises your own exposure, by shortening the length of time the organisms are on your hands.

It is possible to further reduce transfer by wearing gloves. However, this forces your own hands to endure an unnatural and damaging environment during the application process, and possibly for the greater part of the day. In that case, cleansing and moisturising, together with use of a barrier cream, will minimise the development of adverse reactions to the glove material (for example, some people are allergic to latex, but even those who aren't, can develop a reactive dermatitis if they are constantly exposed to the substance).

Answer 3

Professionalism, Germs, and Money. Would you go to a doctor who didn't wash hands between patients? Would you eat food from a place where they handled money, or went to the bathroom and did not wash hands before touching your food? Would you employ or go to a make-up artist who did not wash hands before and after contact with a client?
