GA ESTHETICIAN EVALUATION EXAM 2025/2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔atoms - ✔✔The smallest chemical components (often called particles) of an element
that still retains the properties of the element
✔✔cation - ✔✔ion with a positive charge
✔✔chemistry - ✔✔Science that deals with the composition, structures, and properties of
matter, and how matter changes under different conditions.
✔✔element - ✔✔the simplest form of matter; cannot be broken down into a simpler
substance without loss of identity
✔✔air - ✔✔1 part oxygen, 4 parts nitrogen
✔✔emulsions - ✔✔An unstable physical mixture of two or more immiscible substances
(substances that normally will not stay blended) plus a special ingredient called an
emulsifier.
✔✔surfactants - ✔✔reduce the surface tension between the skin and the product, and
increase the spreadability of cosmetic products
✔✔infrared light - ✔✔Has longer wavelengths, penetrates more deeply, has less
energy, and produces more heat than visible light
✔✔iontophoresis - ✔✔Process of infusing water-soluble products into the skin with the
use of electric current, such as the use of the positive and negative poles of a galvanic
machine.
✔✔ohm - ✔✔unit that measures the resistance of an electric current
✔✔uv radiation - ✔✔invisible rays that have short wavelengths, are the least
penetrating rays, produce chemical effects, and kill germs
✔✔volt - ✔✔unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons
forward through a conductor
✔✔watt - ✔✔Measurement of how much electric energy is being used in one second
✔✔Asteatosis - ✔✔Dry, scaly skin from sebum deficiency, which can be due to aging,
body disorders, alkalies of harsh soaps, or cold exposure.
✔✔bulla - ✔✔Large blister containing watery fluid
, ✔✔carbuncle - ✔✔cluster of boils
✔✔chloasma - ✔✔condition characterized by hyperpigmentation on the skin in spots
that are not elevated (liver spots)
✔✔furuncle - ✔✔Subcutaneous abscess filled with pus, caused by bacteria in glands or
hair follicles (a boil)
✔✔impetigo - ✔✔A contagious skin infection caused by staphylococcal or streptococcal
bacteria, characterized by clusters of small blisters or crusty lesions and often occurring
in children.
✔✔keratoma - ✔✔Acquired, superficial, thickened patch of epidermis. A callus is an
example
✔✔nevus - ✔✔Malformation of the skin from abnormal pigmentation or dilated
capillaries; also known as a birthmark
✔✔steatoma - ✔✔Sebaceous cyst or subcutaneous tumor filled with sebum; ranges in
size from a pea to an orange. It usually appears on the scalp, neck, and back; also
called a wen.
✔✔tubercle - ✔✔Abnormal rounded, solid lump; larger than a papule.
✔✔verruca - ✔✔Hypertrophy of the papillae and epidermis caused by a virus, a wart
✔✔vesicle - ✔✔Small blister or sac containing clear fluid, lying within or just beneath the
epidermis.
✔✔wheal - ✔✔Itchy, swollen lesion that lasts only a few hours; caused by a blow, the
bite of an insect, urticaria, or the sting of a nettle.
✔✔epidermis layers - ✔✔stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum,
stratum spinosum, stratum germinativum
✔✔reticular layer - ✔✔supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients; contains fat cells,
blood vessels, sudoriferous glands, hair follicles, lymph vessels, sebaceous glands, and
nerve endings
✔✔stratum corneum - ✔✔outermost layer of the epidermis; the horny layer
✔✔stratum germinativum - ✔✔active layer of the epidermis above the papillary layer of
the dermis; the basal cell layer
