What does cleaning involve?

  1. Washing with alcohol and water

  2. Washing with soap and water

  3. Washing with just water

  4. Washing with oil and water

The correct answer is: Washing with soap and water

Cleaning in esthetics typically involves washing the skin with soap and water. soap helps to break down oils, dirt, and impurities on the skin, while water helps to rinse them away. Alcohol can be too harsh and drying for the skin if used alone, just water may not effectively remove all impurities, and oil is more commonly used in techniques like the oil cleansing method as a first step in double cleansing, not as the sole method for cleansing the skin.
