    Because massage increases circulation, it should not be performed on clients with:

    • Dry skin

    • Wrinkled skin

    • High blood pressure

    • Muscle aches

    Correct Answer
    A. High blood pressure
    Explanation
    Massage increases circulation by applying pressure and manipulating the soft tissues of the body. High blood pressure is a condition characterized by increased pressure in the arteries, and massage can potentially further elevate blood pressure. Therefore, it is not recommended to perform massage on clients with high blood pressure to avoid any potential risks or complications.

    It is recomended that clients return for waxing services every:

    • 3 to 4 months

    • 1 to 2 weeks

    • 4 to 6 weeks

    • 4 to 6 months

    Correct Answer
    A. 4 to 6 weeks
    Explanation
    Clients are recommended to return for waxing services every 4 to 6 weeks. This is because hair typically grows back within this timeframe, and returning for waxing within this period helps to maintain smooth and hair-free skin. Waiting longer than 6 weeks may result in more hair growth and a less effective waxing session, while returning sooner than 4 weeks may not allow enough time for new hair growth. Therefore, 4 to 6 weeks is the ideal timeframe for clients to schedule their waxing appointments.

    Face wash is best used on clients with:

    • Dry skin

    • Mature skin

    • Oily or combination skin

    • Wrinkled skin

    Correct Answer
    A. Oily or combination skin
    Explanation
    Face wash is best used on clients with oily or combination skin because it helps to remove excess oil and impurities from the skin. Oily and combination skin types tend to produce more sebum, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Using a face wash specifically designed for oily or combination skin can help to balance the skin's oil production and prevent acne. Additionally, face wash for oily or combination skin often contains ingredients that can help to control shine and mattify the skin, leaving it feeling clean and refreshed.

    The type of hair that responds best to laser hair removal treatment is:

    • Fine downy hair

    • Coarse, dark hair

    • Any light-colored hair

    • Fine blond hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Coarse, dark hair
    Explanation
    Coarse, dark hair responds best to laser hair removal treatment because the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicles. Coarse hair has more pigment and absorbs more energy from the laser, making it easier to destroy the hair follicle. Dark hair also contains more melanin, which further enhances the effectiveness of the laser treatment. On the other hand, fine downy hair, light-colored hair, and fine blond hair have less pigment and are less responsive to laser treatment.

    In the method of permanent hair removal called electrolysis, hair is removed by means of:

    • Intense light

    • An electric current

    • Epilation

    • A laser beam

    Correct Answer
    A. An electric current
    Explanation
    Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal that involves the use of an electric current. During the process, a tiny needle is inserted into each hair follicle, and a low-level electric current is applied to destroy the hair root. This current causes a chemical reaction that damages the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth. Unlike other methods like intense light, epilation, or laser beam, electrolysis directly targets the hair follicles through the electric current, making it an effective and long-lasting solution for hair removal.

    A facial product taht restores the skin's natural pH after cleansing is:

    • Treatment cream

    • Emollient

    • Tonic lotion

    • Gommage

    Correct Answer
    A. Tonic lotion
    Explanation
    A tonic lotion is a facial product that helps restore the skin's natural pH after cleansing. Cleansing can disrupt the skin's pH balance, making it more acidic. Tonic lotions are formulated to neutralize the skin's pH and bring it back to its optimal level, which is slightly acidic. This helps to maintain the skin's barrier function and overall health. Treatment creams, emollients, and gommage are not specifically designed to restore the skin's pH after cleansing.

    During the application time of a depilatory, the hair expands and the:

    • Disulfide bonds break

    • Texture changes

    • Polypeptide bonds break

    • Cuticle is stripped away

    Correct Answer
    A. Disulfide bonds break
    Explanation
    When a depilatory is applied to the hair, it causes the disulfide bonds within the hair shaft to break. Disulfide bonds are responsible for the hair's structure and strength. Breaking these bonds weakens the hair, making it easier to remove. This process also causes the texture of the hair to change, making it more pliable and easier to remove. Additionally, breaking the disulfide bonds may lead to the stripping away of the cuticle, the outer protective layer of the hair.

    Friction in massage requires the use of:

    • Deep rubbing movements

    • Slapping movements

    • Light stroking movements

    • Shaking movements

    Correct Answer
    A. Deep rubbing movements
    Explanation
    Deep rubbing movements are required in massage to create friction. Friction involves applying pressure and using circular or back-and-forth movements on the muscles or soft tissues. This technique helps to increase blood flow, stimulate the nerves, and break down knots or adhesions in the muscles. Deep rubbing movements are more effective in providing a deep tissue massage and targeting specific areas of tension or pain. Slapping, light stroking, and shaking movements do not create the same level of friction and are used for different purposes in massage therapy.

    Electronic tweezers remove hair by dehydrating the :

    • Dermis

    • Papilla

    • Epidermis

    • Nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Papilla
    Explanation
    Electronic tweezers remove hair by dehydrating the papilla. The papilla is the structure at the base of the hair follicle that supplies nutrients to the hair. By dehydrating the papilla, the electronic tweezers weaken the hair follicle and make it easier to remove the hair. This method is effective in reducing hair growth over time.

    A depilatory removes superflous hair by:

    • Pulling it out of the follicle

    • Imparing the follicles

    • Dissolving it at skin level

    • Destroying the papilla

    Correct Answer
    A. Dissolving it at skin level
    Explanation
    A depilatory removes superfluous hair by dissolving it at the skin level. Depilatories are typically in the form of creams or lotions that contain chemicals that break down the protein structure of the hair, making it easier to wipe or wash away. This method does not involve pulling the hair out of the follicle, impairing the follicles, or destroying the papilla. Instead, it focuses on dissolving the hair at the surface of the skin, providing a temporary solution for hair removal.

    Acne prone skin can benefic from the application of::

    • Faradic current

    • High-frequency current

    • Galvanic current

    • Sinusoidal current

    Correct Answer
    A. High-frequency current
    Explanation
    High-frequency current can benefit acne-prone skin. High-frequency current is a type of electrical current that produces heat and ozone, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The heat helps to open up the pores and increase blood circulation, which can aid in the healing and prevention of acne. The ozone produced by the current has germicidal effects, killing bacteria that contribute to acne. Therefore, the application of high-frequency current can be effective in treating acne-prone skin.

    The highest alcohol content in tonic lotions is found in:

    • Ethyl alcohol

    • Fresheners

    • Tonics

    • Astrigents

    Correct Answer
    A. Astrigents
    Explanation
    Astringents are skincare products that typically contain a high concentration of alcohol. They are used to tighten and tone the skin. Ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, is a type of alcohol commonly found in alcoholic beverages, but it may not necessarily have the highest alcohol content in tonic lotions. Fresheners and tonics may also contain alcohol, but astringents are specifically formulated to have a higher alcohol content, making them the correct answer.

    • A beefy by-products

    • Gastric acids

    • Fruits

    • Quaternary compunds

    Correct Answer
    A. Fruits
    Explanation
    Alphahydroxy acids are exfoliants commonly used in skincare products to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. These acids are derived largely from fruits, such as citrus fruits (lemons, oranges), apples, grapes, and sugar cane. Fruits contain natural acids like citric acid, malic acid, and glycolic acid, which have exfoliating properties and help to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that alphahydroxy acids are derived from fruits.
