From which area is cleanser generally removed during a facial?

1. Forehead

2. Nose

3. Chin

4. Cheeks

The correct answer is: Chin

During a facial, the cleanser is typically removed from the chin area because this region often accumulates oil, dirt, and impurities. The chin is a common area of focus not only due to its exposure to external contaminants but also because it's part of the T-zone, which often requires thorough cleansing. Removing the cleanser from the chin ensures that the skin is adequately cleansed and prepares it for further steps in the facial treatment, such as exfoliation or mask application. While other areas like the forehead, nose, and cheeks are also cleaned, the chin is particularly significant due to its frequent involvement in congestion and breakouts. Addressing this area effectively during a facial can lead to clearer, healthier-looking skin, emphasizing the importance of proper cleansing techniques across the entire face.
