Faded product labels are driving me nuts in the treatment room

I keep all my favorite lotions and toners on a rolling cart right next to my chair. Every single day, I spray everything down with cleaner between clients to keep things sanitary. After a few weeks, the labels on the bottles get all blurry and start to peel off. Now I have to pick up each one and really stare to figure out what's inside, which wastes SO much time. I nearly used a brightening serum on a client with rosacea last week because the label was COMPLETELY washed out. That was a scary moment and I felt really bad about it. I tried putting clear tape over them, but it just curls up and looks messy. What do other people do to stop this from happening? I need a fix before I mix something up and hurt someone's skin.

Seriously, this isn't just a you problem, it's everywhere. I see this all the time with stuff in my bathroom too, labels fading from moisture. It's like companies make these products but don't think about how we actually use them daily. In your case, it's super dangerous because mixing up skincare can hurt someone. Same thing happens with kitchen cleaners, the bottles get gross and you can't read them. They really need to make labels that can handle being cleaned often.

My friend Emma mixed up her toner and acne treatment after the labels faded from humidity! It caused a nasty rash on her cheek.

What's stopping them from using better label glue?
