RE: cibtac exam paper 16 april 2007
80 questions in all but some had five parts to them so i think it will be marked out of 120
the practical was grand just a bit nerve racking though our examiner was big in to ingredients in products and the effects and benefits of them and after care advice for clients
if you talk to your client throughout the oractical telling her what you are doing and why the examiner wont ask you too many questions thats what i did and it worked she just asked me two questions about the ingredients in the mask and aftercare advice
for waxing she wanted us to wax fron and back of both legs and either under arm or bikini
i got a bikini and i think i was the only one that did
we had 20 mins for a day make up and 20 mins for manicure i got a pedicure
she gave half the room manicure and the other pedicure
hope this helps

Hi leiarose, Thanks a lot..
CIBTAC exam paper 07
We were given this paper to complete, and I hope it may be useful to someone.
Functions of the epidermis
The epidermis consists of several layers of cells. Its actual thickness varies according to its location on the body. It is thin on the eyelids and thick on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands. The main functions of the epidermis is to protect, maintain temperature and be a waterproof barrier.
The two inner layers of the epidermis are composed of living cells. Sometimes these two layers together are called the malpighian layer.
The three outer layers of the epidermis are composed of dying or dead cells.
Stratum Basale (Stratum Germinativum)
This is the innermost layer of the epidermis. It is a single row of cells, which is continuous around the hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands. The cells are capable of dividing continously by a process called mitocis to produce new cells. This division is particularly fast when the surface is subjected to friction e.g. the feet. At intervals between these cells are star-shaped cells called melanocytes, which form the skin pigment melanin.
Stratum Spinosum (Prickle Cell Layer)
This layer consists of eight to ten rows of rounded cells fitting closely together, which have fine threads connecting to the cells around them (hence prickle cell). These threads play some part in the absorbing of melanin granules into the cells. These cells are able to divide by mitosis.
Stratum Granulosum (Granular Layer)
In this layer the cells begin to die and hence it is considered a transitional layer between the dead and living cells. This layer consists of two or three rows of flattened cells, which contain granules of keratohyaline.
Stratum Lucidum (Clear Layer)
This layer consists of three or four rows of flat or dead cells. The layer appears clear because melanin is absent (but not in black skin) and the cells contain eleidin - a further stage in keratinisation. This layer is particularly pronounced in thick, hairless cells e.g. palms and soles of the feet and is not present in hairy skin.
Stratum Corneum (Horny Layer)
This is the outermost layer of the epidermis and consists of twenty-five to thirty rows of dead and scaly cells, which contain the protein keratin. This layer prevents water loss and reflects some UVA from the skin. These cells are gradually shed by friction and only stay in this layer for 7-14 days. This process is called desquamation or sloughing. It takes about 28 days for a cell to pass from the basal layer to the horny layer. When might this be different? With skin conditions like excezema or psoriasis or illness.
Melanocytes produce two types of pigment - Eumelanin (black or brown) and phaomelanin (white, yellow, red). The amount and distribution are responsible for the skin's colour together with other factors, blood haemoglobin and amount of fat in the skin.
Caucasian skin contains eumelanin in basale, spinosum and granulosum strata. Black skin contains more eumelanin in all five layers.

hi leiarose
your an abolsute star, thanks so much for pasting theese papers, done my itec last fri and since i mucked it up so bad my second chance is on wed to do the cibtec so i really dreadin it. dunno if you done itec but was wionderin if the theory exams are the same set up ie manicure and pedicure paper- 50 question
