Skin that has small pores and maybe flaky or dry with fine lines and wrinkles is characterized as:
- A.
Dehydrated
- B.
Oily
- C.

Skin that has small pores and may be flaky or dry with fine lines and wrinkles is characterized as dehydrated. This means that the skin lacks moisture and is in need of hydration. The small pores indicate that the skin is not producing enough oil to keep it moisturized, resulting in dryness and flakiness. The presence of fine lines and wrinkles further suggests a lack of moisture, as hydrated skin tends to be plump and smooth.Rate this question:

- A.
Even pore distribution
- B.

D. Large poresExplanation
Oily skin produces excessive sebum, which can lead to enlarged pores. When the skin produces too much oil, it can clog the pores, causing them to stretch and appear larger. This is why individuals with oily skin often have visible and larger pores compared to those with other skin types. The presence of large pores is a common characteristic of oily skin due to the overproduction of sebum.Rate this question:

Night treatments are usually more intensive compared to day-use products. This is because during the night, our skin goes through a process of repair and regeneration. Night treatments, such as serums or creams, are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients that can penetrate deeper into the skin and provide more targeted benefits. They often contain ingredients like retinol, peptides, or hyaluronic acid that work to address specific skin concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, or hyperpigmentation.

Correct Answer
D. The edgesExplanation
Hacking is performed with the edges of the hands because this allows for a stronger and more forceful strike. The edges of the hands provide a larger surface area and more stability compared to the fingertips, backs, or palms. Using the edges of the hands also helps to distribute the impact and reduce the risk of injury to the attacker.Rate this question:
