What equipment should be preheated for the basic facial due to its heating time?

For a basic facial, it is essential to preheat the hot towel cabbie with towels because it requires time to reach the optimal temperature for use during the treatment. Warm towels can enhance the client's experience by promoting relaxation and aiding in the effective removal of products such as cleansers and masks.

Using warm towels during the facial not only provides comfort but also helps to open up pores and facilitate the penetration of skincare products. The heating time of the hot towel cabbie means that it should be turned on ahead of the treatment to ensure that the towels are adequately warmed and ready for application.

In contrast, while the facial steamer does require some heating time as well, it is typically not as lengthy as the hot towel cabbie's. The ultrasonic machine and microdermabrasion unit do not require preheating at all, making them less critical in terms of timing during the facial prep process. Therefore, preheating the hot towel cabbie is crucial for delivering a high-quality, comfortable facial experience.
