C. After the massageExplanation
A mask is typically applied after the massage during a pedicure. This is because the massage helps to relax the feet and improve blood circulation, making it an ideal time to apply a mask. The mask can then be left on for a specific amount of time to deeply moisturize and nourish the skin. Applying the mask after removing nail enamel ensures that the feet are clean and ready to receive the benefits of the mask. Additionally, applying the mask before exfoliation may interfere with the exfoliation process as the mask could be removed along with the dead skin cells.Rate this question:

Therapists should advise pedicure clients to wear _ shoes or _ on the day of treatment
Correct Answer

Therapists should advise pedicure clients to wear open-toed shoes or sandals on the day of treatment. This is because open-toed shoes or sandals allow the toes to remain exposed and free, preventing any damage to the freshly painted nails. It also allows the nails to dry properly without smudging or getting ruined. Wearing closed-toe shoes may cause smudging or chipping of the nail polish, which is why open-toed shoes or sandals are recommended.Rate this question:

Ill fitting shoes
- B.
Dry skin condition
- C.
Heart disease
- D.
Poor blood supply aggravated by cold weather
Correct Answer
D. Poor blood supply aggravated by cold weatherExplanation
Chilblains are caused by poor blood supply aggravated by cold weather. When the body is exposed to cold temperatures, the blood vessels in the skin constrict to conserve heat and maintain core body temperature. In individuals with poor blood circulation, this constriction can further restrict blood flow to the extremities, leading to the development of chilblains. Chilblains typically appear as red, swollen, and itchy patches on the skin, and they can be quite painful. It is important to keep the affected areas warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent chilblains from worsening.Rate this question:
