Vocab 1
is an abnormal brown-colored or wine-colored skin discoloration
with a circular or irregular shape
Stain
are primarily environmental
factors that contribute to aging and the appearance of aging.
Extrinsic factors
is the change in pigmentation of skin caused by exposure to the
sun or ultraviolet light.
Tan
also known as birthmark, is a small or large
malformation of the skin due to abnormal pigmentation or dilated
capillaries.
Nevus
is an inflammation of
the skin caused by having contact with certain chemicals or substances.
Contact Dermatitis
is a small brownish spot or blemish on the skin, ranging in
color from pale tan to brown or bluish black.
Mole
means darker than
normal pigmentation, appearing as dark splotches.
Hyperpigmentation
is the absence of pigment, resulting in
light or white splotches.
Hypopigmentation
Abnormal colorations
dyschromias
unstable molecules that cause biochemical
aging. These molecules, over time, can have a devastating effect on
the body, especially wrinkling and sagging of the skin.
Free Radicals
is congenital hypopigmentation, or absence
of melanin pigment in the body, including the skin, hair, and eyes.
Albanism
is the
most common and the least severe type of skin cancer; it is often
characterized by light or pearly nodules
Basal cell carcinoma
also known as liver spots, is a condition
characterized by hyperpigmentation on the skin in spots that are not
elevated.
Chloasma
means the product has been designed and proven not to clog the follicles.
Noncomedogenic
abbreviated ICD, occurs when irritating
substances temporarily damage the epidermis.
Irritant Contact Dermatitis
is a hereditary condition that causes
hypopigmented spots and splotches on the skin that may be related to
thyroid conditions
Vitiligo
is the
technical term for freckles, small yellow-colored to brown-colored spots
on skin exposed to sunlight and air.
Lentigines
The third and most serious form of skin cancer
which
is often characterized by black or dark brown patches on the skin
that may appear uneven in texture, jagged, or raised
Malignant Melanoma
is a skin disorder characterized by
light abnormal patches (hypopigmentation); it is caused by a burn or
congenital disease that destroys the pigment-producing cells.
Leukoderma
abbreviated ACD, occurs when the
person (cosmetologist or client) develops an allergy to an ingredient or
a chemical, usually caused by repeated skin contact with the chemical.
Allergic Contact Dermatitis
is an allergic reaction created by repeated exposure to
a chemical or a substance.
Sensitization
is more serious than basal cell
carcinoma, and often is characterized by scaly red papules or nodules
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
means that these bacteria cannot survive in the presence of oxygen.
When the follicles are obstructed, oxygen is blocked from the bottom
of the follicles, allowing acne bacteria to multiply.
Anaerobic
is the hereditary
tendency for acne-prone skin to retain dead cells in the follicle, forming
an obstruction that clogs follicles and exacerbates inflammatory acne
lesions such as papules and pustules.
Retention Hyperkeratosis
are skin-aging factors
over which we have little control:
Genetic aging is how our parents’ skin aged, their skin
coloring and resistance to sun damage.
Gravity is the constant pulling downward on our skin
and bodies.
Intrinsic Factors
