🧼 Cleanliness and Sanitation at Our Charleston Facial Studio
At our cozy facial studio here in beautiful Charleston, SC, cleanliness isn’t just a behind-the-scenes task—it’s part of your experience. From the moment you walk through our doors, we want you to feel relaxed, cared for, and above all, safe. That’s why we go above and beyond to follow South Carolina’s cosmetology laws and sanitation standards with care, consistency, and a little joy.
Let’s take a peek behind the curtain: here’s how we keep things fresh, clean, and compliant for your skin’s safety and your peace of mind.
🔬 Science-Backed Standards You Can Trust
Before opening Sarah Moon Studio, I earned my bachelor’s degree in biology and worked in various areas of the medical field, including primary care, optometry, and aesthetic medicine. That hands-on, clinical experience gave me a deep understanding of sanitation protocols and lab-based environments—where cleanliness isn't optional, it's essential.
I bring that same standard of care into the studio every day. From disinfecting tools to maintaining a calm, contaminant-free treatment space, every step of our sanitation routine is guided by both state law and real-world medical field experience. It’s more than just compliance—it’s part of who we are and how we care for your skin at Sarah Moon Facial Studio.
💧 A Clean and Safe Environment
The South Carolina Board of Cosmetology has clear, non-negotiable rules about keeping beauty spaces like ours safe—and we follow every single one. No shortcuts, no exceptions.
Here’s how we put those high standards into practice—every single day:
🔬 Tools That Sparkle with LUCAS-CIDE & Opti-Cide3
We use LUCAS-CIDE Concentrate Disinfectant, a hospital-grade solution trusted by medical and esthetic professionals alike. It eliminates 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and fungi, making it our go-to for disinfecting all reusable tools and brushes between every client.
Before and after each facial, we thoroughly clean tools with soap and water, allow them to dry overnight in a covered space, and then fully disinfect them with LUCAS-CIDE the next day. We even carefully measure out the LUCAS-CIDE and water daily to follow the manufacturer’s exact dilution guidelines—because proper ratios mean proper sanitation. This multi-step process ensures everything is free of bacteria, fungus, and debris—and completely safe for your skin. It’s our way of staying not just compliant, but fully committed to South Carolina’s highest sanitation standards.
For tools and devices that can’t be soaked, we use Micro-Scientific Opti-Cide3 Medical Disinfecting Wipes. These powerful wipes allow us to safely disinfect all touch-points in the treatment room between each guest—including product packaging, back bar carts, facial beds, treatment lights, and esthetician chair.
🖐 Hand Hygiene, Handled with Care
Hand hygiene is a must. We wash our hands at the start of every facial, and keep hand sanitizer nearby so your skin stays protected from start to finish.
🛁 Fresh Linens, Every Time
Every guest gets a full set of fresh linens—including your top blanket! Linens are stored in closed cabinets and laundered in hot water after each use. Cozy and clean? Yes please.
🗑 Waste? Handled.
All single-use items (like gloves, cotton pads, and applicators) are disposed of properly after each treatment in a covered trashcan that's emptied daily.
🌿 Your Skin Deserves a Break (Not a Breakout)
We believe skincare should be healing—not stressful. That’s why everything we do is designed to support skin health and safety.
From our disinfecting practices to our acne-safe product choices, we’re creating a calm, clean space that supports every skin type—including sensitive and breakout-prone skin.
🏡 A Clean Space Is a Calm Space
Beyond tools and linens, our physical space is designed for your comfort and safety:
🚿 Water access
We always have hot and cold running water available for proper handwashing and thorough linen sanitation.
