    Muscular tissue may be stimulated by a massage because the pressure and manipulation of the muscles during a massage can increase blood flow, promote relaxation, and relieve tension. Massages can help to improve muscle flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and enhance overall muscle function. The physical contact and movements involved in a massage can also help to release endorphins, which are natural painkillers and mood elevators. Therefore, a massage can be an effective way to stimulate and benefit muscular tissue.

They can remove excess oil, dirt, and impurities from the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and revitalized. A mild astringent is gentle enough to be used on the face without causing irritation or dryness. It can help to balance the skin's pH levels and improve its overall appearance. Using a mild astringent after removing a facial mask can help to further cleanse and tone the skin, promoting a healthy and glowing complexion.

    Explanation
    Sebaceous glands secrete oil that helps our skin retain moisture and avoid drying out. During puberty, sebaceous glands become more active and can lead to acne.

    What is the function of sebum?

    • To dry the skin

    • To cool the skin

    • To cleanse the skin

    • To lubricate the skin

    Correct Answer
    A. To lubricate the skin
    Explanation
    Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Its main function is to lubricate the skin and hair, keeping them moisturized and preventing dryness. Sebum helps to maintain the skin's natural barrier, protecting it from external factors such as pollutants and bacteria. It also helps to regulate the skin's pH balance and can have antimicrobial properties, preventing infections. Therefore, the function of sebum is to lubricate the skin rather than drying, cooling, or cleansing it.

    • To dry the skin

    • To cool the skin

    • To cleanse the skin

    • To lubricate the skin

    Correct Answer
    A. To cool the skin
    Explanation
    Sweat functions to cool the skin by evaporating and dissipating heat from the body. When the body temperature rises, sweat glands produce sweat, which is mostly composed of water, salts, and other substances. As the sweat evaporates from the skin's surface, it takes away heat energy, thus cooling the body. This physiological process helps regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.

For example, certain pigments and substances used in cosmetics had healing properties and were believed to protect the skin from the sun or ward off evil spirits.
