    Before tweezing the brows, apply a/ an _________ to open the pores:

    • A.

      Mild alkaline cleanser

    • B.

      Mild acid cleanser

    • C.

      Mild astringent

    • D.

      None af above

    Correct Answer
    A. Mild alkaline cleanser
    Explanation
    Before tweezing the brows, it is recommended to apply a mild alkaline cleanser to open the pores. This is because alkaline cleansers have a higher pH level, which helps to break down oils and dirt on the skin's surface, allowing the pores to open up more easily. By opening the pores, it becomes easier to remove unwanted hair and reduce the chances of irritation or ingrown hairs.

    • C.

      It is alkaline and will close the pores

    • D.

      It is alkaline and will open the pores

    Correct Answer
    A. It is acid and will close the pores
    Explanation
    Alcohol is often applied immediately after tweezing the brows because it is acidic and will close the pores. Applying alcohol helps to disinfect the area and prevent any potential infections. Additionally, the acidic nature of alcohol helps to tighten the skin and minimize any redness or inflammation caused by the tweezing process. By closing the pores, alcohol also helps to prevent any dirt or bacteria from entering the open follicles, reducing the chances of breakouts or ingrown hairs.

    • C.

      Immiscible

    • D.

      Nitrazenes

    Correct Answer
    C. Immiscible
    Explanation
    When two or more products cannot be mixed together, they are said to be "immiscible." This means that the substances do not form a homogeneous mixture and instead separate into distinct phases when combined. Immiscible substances typically have different polarities or chemical properties that prevent them from effectively mixing or dissolving into each other.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The stage of hair growth in which hair  is falling out is referred to as:

    • A.

      Anagen/ growth

    • B.

      Telagen /resting

    • C.

      Catagen/ transitional

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. Catagen/ transitional
    Explanation
    Catagen is the correct answer because it refers to the stage of hair growth in which the hair is falling out. During this stage, the hair follicle shrinks and detaches from the dermal papilla, causing the hair to stop growing and eventually fall out. This transitional phase is followed by the telogen or resting phase, where the hair follicle remains dormant before entering the anagen or growth phase again. Therefore, catagen is the specific stage that corresponds to hair loss.

    • A.

      Pumice powder

    • B.

      Hot oil manicure

    • C.

      Weekly manicures

    • D.

      Visit to a physician

    Correct Answer
    B. Hot oil manicure
    Explanation
    The condition described in the question is when the skin around the nail splits, which is usually caused by dry skin. The best treatment for this condition is a hot oil manicure. This treatment helps to moisturize and nourish the skin, preventing it from drying out and splitting further. Pumice powder would not be effective in treating this condition as it is used for exfoliation, not moisturization. Weekly manicures may help maintain the health of the nails, but they would not specifically target the dry skin issue. Visiting a physician may be necessary in severe cases, but a hot oil manicure is a suitable treatment option for mild cases.

    • C.

      Beau's lines

    • D.

      Pseudomonas aeroginosa

    Correct Answer
    D. Pseudomonas aeroginosa
    Explanation
    The presence of yellow/green spots on the nail is indicative of a bacterial infection, specifically caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium is known to cause nail infections, leading to discoloration and the appearance of spots on the nails. Agnail refers to a torn piece of skin near the nail, leuconychia is the medical term for white spots on the nails, and Beau's lines are horizontal depressions on the nails. None of these options explain the specific yellow/green spots caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

    Correct Answer
    A. Post-partum
    Explanation
    Post-partum alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs after the completion of a pregnancy. It is a common condition that is believed to be caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy. During pregnancy, increased levels of estrogen prolong the growth phase of the hair, resulting in thicker and fuller hair. However, after giving birth, the hormone levels drop, causing the hair to enter a resting phase and eventually fall out. This type of alopecia is temporary and the hair typically regrows within a few months.

    • A.

      They are costly

    • B.

      Their abrasive base is to smooth

    • C.

      They are rough &abrasive

    • D.

      They are rough, abrasive, and the particles are too large

    Correct Answer
    D. They are rough, abrasive, and the particles are too large
    Explanation
    Body scrubs are not recommended for facial use because they are rough, abrasive, and the particles in the scrub are too large. The skin on the face is more delicate and sensitive compared to the rest of the body, so using a body scrub on the face can cause irritation, redness, and even micro-tears in the skin. It is important to use gentler exfoliating products specifically formulated for the face to avoid any damage to the skin.

    • D.

      Mitosis, langerhans cells

    Correct Answer
    A. Mitosis, daughter cells
    Explanation
    Mitosis is the process of cell division where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process is crucial for growth, repair, and maintenance of cells in multicellular organisms. The correct answer, "mitosis, daughter cells," accurately describes the term for cell division and the resulting cells. It is important to note that the other options, asexual reproduction, langerhans cells, and desquamation, spiny cells, do not accurately describe the process of cell division and the resulting cells.

It also helps to minimize the chances of breakage or irritation to the skin. Applying the wax in the opposite direction of hair growth can lead to ineffective hair removal and may cause discomfort or pain. The answer states that the wax should be applied in the direction of hair growth, which is the correct approach for waxing.

    Correct Answer
    A. In direction of hair-cgrowth
    Explanation
    When waxing, the removal strips should be applied in the direction of hair growth. This is because applying the strips in the opposite direction can cause the hair to break or not be fully removed from the root. By applying the strips in the direction of hair growth, it allows for a more effective and less painful hair removal process.

      Whit soft wax it does not matter

    Correct Answer
    B. Opposite the direction of hair growth
    Explanation
    When waxing, it is recommended to remove the material strips in the opposite direction of hair growth. This helps to ensure that the hair is pulled out from the root, resulting in a smoother and longer-lasting result. Removing the strips in the direction of hair growth may not effectively remove the hair and could lead to a less satisfactory outcome. Using hard or soft wax does not affect the direction in which the material strips should be removed.

    • D.

      Perpendicular to the skin and in the direction of hair-growth

    Correct Answer
    C. Parallel to the skin and in the direction of hair growth
    Explanation
    When tweezing, it is important to remove the hair parallel to the skin and in the direction of hair growth. This ensures that the hair is removed from the root without causing any damage to the surrounding skin. Removing the hair in the opposite direction of hair growth or perpendicular to the skin can cause pain, discomfort, and potential skin irritation.

      Epilation

    • B.

      Depilatory

    • C.

      Depilation

    • D.

      Epilator

    Correct Answer
    D. Epilator
    Explanation
    An epilator is a device used to remove hair from the bottom of the hair follicle. It works by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and pulling them out. Unlike depilatories, which remove hair above the surface of the skin, an epilator provides longer-lasting results as it targets the hair at the root. Depilation, on the other hand, refers to the removal of hair above the skin's surface, while a depilatory is a product used for this purpose. Therefore, an epilator is the most suitable choice for a device used to remove hair from the bottom of the hair follicle.
