• Begin by positioning the hair net securely on your client, ensuring it sits just behind the hairline and ears.

• Apply a small amount of barrier lotion to the palms and fingernails, then distribute the remaining product across the tops of the hands while supporting them with the back of your hand. Professional tip: Pay extra attention to natural nails and light or white-colored nails, as these tend to absorb solution more readily.

• Next, apply a small amount of lotion to the toenails, using the remainder to moisturize the feet and ankles, which are often prone to dryness and can tend to overprocess.

• For any additional areas your client has specified, such as elbows and knees, apply a light layer of lotion, blending thoroughly to avoid visible lines of demarcation..
