Study Notes
Sanitising and Sterilising
- Sanitising: reducing the number of microorganisms to a safe level
- Disinfection: eliminating many or all pathogenic microorganisms, except bacterial spores
- Sterilisation: destroying all forms of microbial life, including spores
Sanitising and Sterilising Steps
- Cleaning tools and implements:
- Remove debris with a brush
- Wash with soap and water
- Rinse and dry with a clean, lint-free towel
- Disinfection:
- Soak in an EPA-registered disinfectant for the recommended time (usually 10 minutes)
- Rinse and dry thoroughly
- Sterilization (if required):
- Autoclave: place cleaned and disinfected tools in an autoclave at 121°C for 15-20 minutes at 15 psi pressure
- Dry Heat Sterilizer: set to the appropriate temperature and duration (typically 160°C for 2 hours)
Skin Types and Analysis
- The Fitzpatrick scale: a numerical classification schema for human skin colour
- There are three fundamental skin types: dry, combination, and oily
- Characteristics of each skin type:
- Oily skin: shiny, coarse, and thick with large pores, prone to shine and congestion
- Dry skin: lacks moisture, sebum, or both, often associated with aging
- Combination skin: T-zone has a greater number of sebaceous glands
Functions of the Skin
- Six essential functions collectively known as SHAPES:
- Sensation: nerve endings transmit information to the brain
- Heat regulation: maintaining an average temperature of 36.8 degrees Celsius
- And others...
Mask Application
- Facial masks should be selected according to skin type
- Benefits of masks:
- Deeply cleansing
- Moisturising
- Leaves the skin smooth and soft
- Enhances skin elasticity
- Revitalizing
- Rejuvenating
- The use of gauze for mask application:
- Holds the mask on the face, allowing ingredients to seep through to benefit the skin
