    What is the best care for oily skin? - ProProfs

    What is the best care for oily skin?

    • Regular washing

    • Surgical procedures

    • Regular use of medication

    • Application of oil 

    Correct Answer
    A. Regular washing
    Explanation
    Regular washing is the best care for oily skin because it helps to remove excess oil, dirt, and impurities from the skin's surface. This helps to prevent clogged pores and breakouts. However, it is important to use a gentle cleanser and not over-wash the skin, as this can strip away natural oils and cause the skin to produce even more oil. Additionally, using non-comedogenic moisturizers and avoiding heavy, oil-based products can also help to manage oily skin.

    Fruits are the most beneficial to the skin because they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These nutrients help to nourish the skin, improve its texture, and promote a healthy complexion. Fruits also contain high amounts of water, which helps to keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness. Additionally, certain fruits like berries and citrus fruits are particularly beneficial for the skin due to their high content of antioxidants, which help to protect against damage from free radicals and promote a youthful appearance.

    • Dermis 

    • Stratum Corneum

    • Stratum Basale

    Correct Answer
    A. Epidermis 
    Explanation
    The outermost layer of the skin is called the epidermis. This layer acts as a protective barrier against external factors such as UV radiation, chemicals, and bacteria. It also helps regulate body temperature and prevents water loss. The epidermis is composed of several layers, including the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer consisting of dead skin cells, and the stratum basale, which is the innermost layer where new skin cells are produced.

    • Vitamin C

    Correct Answer
    A. Vitamin D
    Explanation
    Vitamin D is produced in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. The skin contains a substance called 7-dehydrocholesterol, which is converted into vitamin D when it is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun. Vitamin D is important for maintaining healthy bones, as it helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus from the diet. It also plays a role in immune function and may have other health benefits.

    • Stratum Corneum

    • Stratum Basale

    Correct Answer
    A. Dermis 
    Explanation
    The dermis is the layer of skin that contains the papillary and the reticular regions. The papillary region is the upper layer of the dermis, consisting of loose connective tissue that contains blood vessels and nerve endings. The reticular region is the lower layer of the dermis, composed of dense connective tissue that provides strength and elasticity to the skin. The dermis also contains sweat glands, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands.

    • Nine layers 

    Correct Answer
    A. Two layers 
    Explanation
    The skin consists of two basic layers: the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer and provides a protective barrier against the environment. It is composed of several sublayers, including the stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. The dermis lies beneath the epidermis and is responsible for providing strength and support to the skin. It contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and sweat glands. These two layers work together to maintain the integrity and function of the skin.

    A. Fibrinogen
    Explanation
    Melanin and carotene are pigments that contribute to the color of the skin. Melanoid is a term used to describe substances that resemble melanin. However, fibrinogen is a protein involved in blood clotting and does not play a role in determining the color of the skin.

    Which of these is not a function of the skin? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not a function of the skin?

    • Insulation 

    • Temperature regulation

    • Skin pigmentation

    • Immunity

    Correct Answer
    A. Skin pigmentation
    Explanation
    Skin pigmentation is not a function of the skin. The skin's main functions include insulation, temperature regulation, and immunity. Insulation is provided by the layer of fat beneath the skin, which helps to maintain body temperature. The skin also regulates body temperature through sweating and blood vessel dilation or constriction. Immunity is another important function of the skin, as it acts as a barrier against pathogens and helps to prevent infections. However, skin pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, which is determined by the amount and type of melanin present in the skin cells. It is not a function of the skin, but rather a characteristic influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
