If a client presents with a red chapped face, what is the recommended course of action?

When a client presents with a red chapped face, the best course of action is to refrain from performing any cosmetic services. This recommendation prioritizes the client's health and safety. Redness and chapping can indicate skin irritation, inflammation, or an underlying skin condition that could worsen with the application of products or procedures typically used in cosmetology.

Furthermore, certain treatments may aggravate the skin, leading to discomfort or adverse reactions. Skipping the service allows the skin to heal and prevents potential complications from occurring. In many cases where skin is compromised, advising the client to seek medical advice can be crucial to address the root cause of the irritation and obtain appropriate treatment. While soothing lotions may seem beneficial, they should only be applied under guidance or if deemed safe considering the skin condition, thus emphasizing the importance of caution and professional assessment.
