How should cleansing cream be removed from a client's face?

1. With a dry cloth

2. With a warm/damp towel

3. With a cotton pad

4. With a facial sponge

The correct answer is: With a warm/damp towel

Cleansing cream should be removed from a client's face with a warm, damp towel because this method effectively loosens the cream while also providing a soothing experience. The warmth of the towel helps to open up the pores, allowing for better removal of any residual makeup, dirt, and oils, leading to a more thorough cleansing. Additionally, the dampness aids in hydrating the skin and enhancing comfort during the process. Using a dry cloth might not effectively remove all traces of the cleansing cream, while cotton pads can sometimes absorb cleansing products leaving behind residue, and facial sponges might not provide the same level of warmth or moisture benefits as a warm, damp towel.
