Which products should be avoided to prevent contact with skin and eyes?

Disinfectants and pesticides are specifically formulated chemical products designed for killing bacteria, viruses, pests, and other harmful microorganisms. Due to their potent active ingredients, these products can be caustic or toxic if they come into contact with skin or eyes. Exposure can lead to irritation, chemical burns, or more serious health issues, making it crucial to handle these substances carefully. It is common practice in the barbering and cosmetology industry to use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles when working with these types of products to ensure safety for both the professional and the client.

On the other hand, while soaps, shampoos, lotions, and shaving gels are also used in a grooming context, they are generally formulated with milder ingredients designed for direct application on the skin and hair. In normal use, these products are not typically harmful when used as directed. Thus, the focus on avoiding contact primarily pertains to disinfectants and pesticides, which carry greater risks due to their chemical nature.
