I had a friend tell me when I was practicing on her "you don't need to wear gloves"  Well, I did anyway.  You never never know!

I grew up in the country, have four kids and love doing yard work. Wearing gloves never occurred to me until I started this class. And I'm a tomboy, so I'm pretty sure I have dirt under my nails until I shower at night. But...seeing all the finger diseases has made me think twice and now I wear gloves for everything. 

@melissalandersiectskin-com I even felt funny not wearing gloves with my kids only because when I perform a service it's just a habit to wear gloves. Makes me feel professional as well.

@leejenkinsiectskin-com I am so very scared of herpes on the hands or fingers because herpes are highly contagious and could spread to any part of your body. Then you could spread it to others. Not good. Wear gloves and change as needed.

I don't understand how people wouldn't wear gloves when doing anything with anyone elses skin. I see esthetician videos all the time on social media and it makes me not want to go to them. There are so many things that we can catch and spread from clients. 

@melissalandersiectskin-com right! You never know what invisible bacteria is on the skin!

@alexisdozieriectskin-com isn't is crazy what can be caught without wearing gloves!

I guess I've become a bit of a germaphobe because the thought of not wearing a glove during any sort of treatment just makes my skin crawl. During the pandemic it really opened my eyes to how gross the general public was. Countless times I saw again and again grown people just doing the most disgusting unsanitary things in public like sticking their hands in their mouth or sneezing without covering it up. I constantly think about stuff like that and I always have hand sanitizer on me and Im a frequent hand washer. I know gloves aren't the most convenient feeling but I will never do a service without them. 

@rebeccamatuskaiectskin-com agreed 100%. I cant tell you how many times Ive been in a public restroom and I've seen grown women not wash their hands after they use the bathroom. That person could be working on your face 🙁

@torimcneilliectskin-com I also grew up vary similar but once I was stationed on my first ship I saw first hand how gross everyone was and how they were constantly touching everything and nothing was ever cleaned properly. It turned me into a bit of a germ freak.
