What do you do if a skin product accidentally gets into a client's eye?

Flushing the eye with water is the appropriate response when a skin product accidentally gets into a client's eye. The primary goal in this situation is to remove the irritant and reduce any potential damage or discomfort caused by the substance. Water helps to dilute the product and wash it out, ultimately providing immediate relief to the affected area.

This emergency procedure is essential in mitigating the risk of irritation or injury to the delicate tissues of the eye. It is generally recommended to use clean, lukewarm water for this purpose and to ensure that the flush is directed towards the inner corner of the eye to allow the flushing action to carry the product away from the ocular surface.

While notifying a doctor might be necessary later, especially if the client experiences persistent discomfort or visual disturbances, immediate action through flushing with water is prioritized as the first line of response to protect the eye.
