NJ Prometric Exam Study Guide 2024
1. What happens when you apply too much pressure during a facial
massage?-
: weakens elastin fibers & breaks down elasticity
2. What color shows under the Woods Lamp for hyper pigmentation?: Brown
3. If an esthetician/practitioner leaves a drawer open during a service, what
must be done to maintain sanitation?: take everything out, sanitize/disinfect
4. Where is the hair root located? (pg. 456-457): located in the dermis
5. During a skin analysis, why would the esthetician refer to the Fitzpatrick
scale?: because it is used to measure the skin's ability to tolerate sun (UV)
exposure. Lighter skin types are generally more sensitive.
6. If your client has a Marine allergy, what would they be allergic to?:
seaweed, shellfish. contraindication to seaweed products
7. Who is responsible for ensuring the safety of our nations cosmetics?:
Food
& Drug Administration (FDA)
8. Where are pathogenic bacteria found?: pathogenic bacteria are capable of
causing disease where it enters into the body which can spread through water,
air, soil, and also through physical contact
9. During the active stage, bacteria grow and ??: reproduce
10. Give an example of cross contamination?: occurs when you touch one object
and then transfer the contents of the object to another.
EX: touching skin then touching a product without washing your hands.
11. If there should be an accidental blood spill what is the next step after
stopping the bleeding?: clean injury with an antiseptic wipe. cover the wound
with a bandaid.
12. What is considered the outer layer of the cell?: cell membrane
13. What is found in the subcutaneous layer if the skin? (pg. 91-92): also called
the hypodermis or superficial fascia. it is composed of loose connective tissue
or subcutaneous tissue (aka adipose tissue.) This layer is 80% fat, and also has
collagen & elastin fibers. This tissue creates protective cushion that gives
contour/smoothness to the body & is also a source of energy.
14. Name the agency who registers all types of disinfectants sold and used in
the US?: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
, NJ Prometric Exam Study Guide 2024
15. Spongy tissue composed of microscopic cells in which inhaled air is
exchanged for carbon dioxide during one respiratory cycle?: Lungs (inhale
air/exhale carbon dioxide)
16. Pulmonary circulation sends the blood from the heart to the lungs to be?:
purified. then back to the heart again.
heart --> lungs (purified) --> heart
17. The study of substances that contain Carbon is called?: Organic Chemistry
18. Protective barrier of lipids and secretions on the surface of the skin is
known as?: Acid Mantle

(think of emulsifying wax tik tok)
20. An example of an insulator would be?: rubber, silk, wood, glass and cement
definition: a substance or device which does not readily conduct electricity
21. What color LED light reduces hyperpigmentation?: green LED light
22. The Yellow LED light is beneficial for?: reduces swelling and inflammation,
improves lymphatic flow, detoxifies and increases circulation
23. What color LED light increases stimulation and improves the collagen and
elastic production inn the skin?: red LED light
24. Proteins are chains of what?: amino acid molecules used in all cell functions
and body growth
25. Collagen and elastin are made from what? (pg 92): fibroblasts cells.
they produce proteins & aid in the production of collagen & elastin.
26. Retinol is made from what vitamin?: Vitamin A
it is an antioxidant that aids in the functioning & repair of skin cells
