Gesture & etiquette
Prepare the warm towel beforehand and test its temperature on your own wrist first; hold the towel gently with both hands; present it to them rather than applying without warning; maintain a comfortable, unhurried pace.
さっぱり' (sappari = refreshed and clean) is a positive, appealing feeling word — leading with the benefit ('you'll feel refreshed') rather than the task ('we need to wash your face') makes the care activity feel like a gift rather than a requirement.
