Beauty and wellness professionals should change gloves __

• A. after every single use
• B. after every client
• C. when visibly soiled
• D. at the end of the day

Answer: (A)

Infection control and cross-contamination prevention are at the heart of this. Disposable gloves are a barrier between you and clients, and they’re meant to be single-use. Changing gloves after every single use ensures that any bacteria, body fluids, or chemical residues from one client or task aren’t carried to the next. If you wait until gloves are visibly soiled or end the day without changing, you open the door to transferring contaminants. The safest, most accepted practice is to apply fresh gloves before starting each new client or service and dispose of them after finishing, followed by hand hygiene.
