Answer: + a good oil-water balance.
●● What skin type is associated with the treatment goals of maintenance
and preventative care?
Answer: + Normal skin
+ Maintenance and preventative care are the goals for normal skin type.
●● What skin type is associated with the treatment goal of using
occlusive products to reduce water loss?
Answer: + Dry skin
+ Occlusive products are thick and lay on top of the skin to reduce
transepidermal water loss. These products help hold in moisture and
protect the skin's top barrier layer, which combats dryness.

●● What skin type is associated with the treatment goals of extra
cleansing and exfoliating?
Answer: + Oily skin
+ Oily skin requires more cleansing and exfoliating than other skin types
do. Proper treatment, exfoliation, and a water-based hydrator will help
keep oily skin clean and balanced.
●● Characteristics of oily skin
Answer: + Excess sebum production, follicle size is larger, prone to
blemishes because pores get clogged with oil and a build up of dead skin
cells.
+ Balancing the skin's oil production through treatments and products is
important. Over-cleansing can make matters worse by stripping the
skin's acid mantle and irritating it. If skin is stripped of oil, it is
unbalanced. This causes the body's protection mechanism to produce
additional oil to compensate for the dryness on the surface. Remember
that no matter what the skin type, the goal is to balance the barrier
function.
●● Where on the face of a client with combination skin are the follicles
medium to larger?
, Answer: + Outside the T zone on the cheeks
+ If you can see the follicle size is more obvious and looks medium to
larger outside the T-zone on the cheeks, this is an indication of

medium?

sebum is minimal.
●● What determines a person's skin type?
Answer: + Genetics and ethnicity
●● What can be indicated by the size of the pores in the T-zone and
throughout the face?
Answer: + How large the pores are in the T-zone and throughout the face
can help determine the skin type.
