A facial bed preparation procedure includes which of the following?

1. A bottom and top sheet

2. Only a top sheet

3. Only a bottom sheet

4. Multiple towels

The correct answer is: A bottom and top sheet

In a proper facial bed preparation, including both a bottom and top sheet is essential for maintaining hygiene and client comfort during the treatment. The bottom sheet serves as a clean barrier between the facial bed and the client, protecting the bed from any products or residue that might be transferred during the treatment. The top sheet provides an additional layer of cleanliness and comfort for the client, ensuring that they are cozy and adequately covered throughout the procedure. Having just a top sheet or just a bottom sheet would not provide the same level of hygiene and client comfort. A single top sheet lacks the protective function against spills or products that might contact the bed itself, while a bottom sheet without a top cover does not address the comfort and warmth that clients expect during a facial. Multiple towels, while beneficial for specific treatments or to enhance comfort, do not replace the necessity of having both a bottom and top sheet as a standard practice in setting up the facial bed.
