How should pencil cosmetics be prepared before each use?

  1. Heated for disinfection

  2. Sharpened before each use

  3. Wiped with a wet cloth

  4. Frozen to kill any bacteria

The correct answer is: Sharpened before each use

Pencil cosmetics should be sharpened before each use to remove any bacteria or debris that may have accumulated on the tip. Heating the pencil can potentially damage the product and also expose it to extreme temperatures, which can alter the consistency and color. Wiping with a wet cloth may not effectively remove bacteria, and freezing the pencil can make the product harder and difficult to use. Sharpening the pencil is the most effective way to prepare it for each use without compromising the quality of the product.
