Introduction (300words):
Through the last decades until the recant days, a substantial increase of cosmetic services use were observed among women all over the world. Most women may not be aware of incoming health consequences, as in cosmetic services shared brushes and tools were used to apply make-up materials on skin ; make-up artists in beauty salons share the use of same make-up brushes on diverse groups of people. The long use of the brushes and poor hygiene may cause major problems for the costumers. Unclean or unsterilized brushes might be suitable for the growth of pathogenic bacteria, once the bacteria occurs and start growing it may colonize the brush , so once it’s used it might cause eye or skin infections and it can be transferred

Following counting the microorganisms, pure cultures will prepared form colony formed and kept on agar slopes for further identification techniques comprising colony morphology and microscopic identifications in addition to biochemical and molecular biology identification .
Questionnaire :
Questioner is going to be distributed among salons workers along with informed consent for ethical purposes , the questioner will contain 15 question in two language(Arabic &English) and will cover the knowledge , attitude an practices of worker towards the hygiene requirements of cosmetics tool use in addition to sanitation and sterilization techniques used .
Significance:
This study will highlight the hygiene requirements in beauty salons in Sharjah in regard to shared cosmetic tools and may pave the way for implementing safety policies in these salons by providing the data to local health authorities.
Expected Benefits to students:
1- Increase the student knowledge and experience in serving the public through in terms of providing awareness to women who visits beauty salons f and workers.
2- train the students on how to work in a research team and produce significant scientific
After 48 hours of incubation the agar plates were viewed. Individual colonies were tested for successful isolation by gram staining and then viewing the stained bacteria under a microscope. Isolation was successful. One colony of each unknown bacteria was transferred to an agar slant for growth. The agar slants were stored at room temperature over the weekend so that they would not grow too much.
Streak plate technique was used to isolate pure culture for each bacteria (2). The Gram stain was used to determine Gram reaction and morphology of each bacteria (2) Selective and differential media such as, salt agar, MacConkey agar and blood agar were used for bacterial identification (2). Gelatin deeps were inoculated to detect production of gelatinase (2). Starch Agar plate were inoculated to detect amylase (2). Ocular reticle used to determine bacteria size (2). Motility deeps were inoculated to detect motility on bacteria (2). Thioglycollate broth used to determine oxygen requirements (2). Carbohydrate fermentation
The purpose of this study is to identify an unknown bacterium from a mixed culture, by conducting different biochemical tests. Bacteria are an integral part of our ecosystem. They can be found anywhere and identifying them becomes crucial to understanding their characteristics and their effects on other living things, especially humans. Biochemical testing helps us identify the microorganism present with great accuracy. The tests used in this experiment are rudimentary but are fundamental starting points for tests used in medical labs and helps students attain a better understanding of how tests are conducted in a real lab setting. The first step in this process is to use gram-staining technique to narrow down the unknown bacteria into one of the two big domains; gram-negative and gram-positive. Once the gram type is identified, biochemical tests are conducted to narrow down the specific bacterial species. These biochemical tests are process of elimination that relies on the bacteria’s ability to breakdown certain kinds of food sources, their respiratory abilities and other biochemical conditions found in nature.
The purpose of this project was to identify unknown bacteria species from a mixed culture. The two unknown species were initially plated onto Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA), Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB), Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA), and blood agar plates to distinguish between the two different bacteria using colony size, color, shape, and growth characteristics. By identifying and inoculating the differing types of colonies, the two unknown bacteria were purified and able to be tested
The purpose of our project was to examine how accessible it would be to make medieval cosmetics from the Trotula while evaluating the effectiveness of these cosmetics. The Trotula was written in Southern Italy and consisted of a group of three texts describing women’s medicine. The third section of the Trotula focuses mainly on Women’s Cosmetics. The purpose of this section was to teach females how to improve their appearance themselves, except females, did not read these resources. It was not written by a woman, but by a male physician for male physicians. These male physicians wanted to discover “women’s secrets”. Due to the authorship of the Trotula, there were several problems that appeared when trying to replicate these recipes. Male physicians

Over the last 50 years, the esthetics industry has grown tremendously. At one time, it was all about luxury and pampering the client with services that make them feel relaxed. Now, it also implements specific skin treatments that target skin conditions, such
The first known use of dermatology was established in 1819 and only in the 1930’s did its practice become more widely accomplished, known and sought after. (“Dermatology” 2014) Since then it has extensively evolved and changed and been able to provide services for women and men around the world. Originally being a part of the medicine field can now be considered a division of the beauty industry due to availability of services and treatments for aesthetic, pampering purposes, rather than just originally founded for medical issues of resolving skin disorders and diseases. Dermatology being defined as ‘a branch of medicine dealing with the skin, its structure, functions and diseases’ (“Dermatology” 2014) now offers many professions one being a dermatologist, whic...
A lot of women love to look good on a day to day basis, so a cosmetologist is what they need. A cosmetologist is a beauty specialist who is educated in doing hair, makeup, and nails. It’s very interesting because you get to be creative, have fun, have people looking gorgeous, and get paid for doing something you love. In this paper, you will be introduced to a lot of information in the field of cosmetology. Learning about the history and background, requirements to obtain the career and job positions will be covered throughout this paper. Towards the end you’ll get a touch of the job reflection and outlook. A lot of great information is listed, so there should be plenty of it learned.
Overview NARS Cosmetic is a cosmetic company founded by Francois Nars in New York, US in 1994 (Hollywoodnoirmakeup.com, 2012). It is considered as one of the best-selling cosmetics and skincare products company in U.S.A, Canada, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan (Shiseido Co., 2014). Since the demand for cosmetics is growing every year and people are looking for more quality products, the company decided to open a new branch in the Middle East to have more customers and to satisfy them by making the NARS product more easily accessible. The aim of this paper is to indicate the best country among the GCC to open a new NARS Cosmetic branch by studying every country’s feasibility of a new cosmetic branch. We hope this expansion can please our customers and make better reputation in GCC countries,besides increase our profit.
We all know that cosmetics existed thousands of years ago. Cleopatra used a heavy arsenal of beauty aids to help her shake the foundations of the Roman Empire. Yes, cosmetics and perfumes have a long history, but the consumer industry we live in is relatively recent, a creation of the decades 1890 through 1920. The products hawked in the 19th Century by druggists, perfumers, barbers, physicians, and a colorful assortment of other enterprising individuals were primitive by our standards. Certainly, active ingredients were used with abandon, notably arsenic, lead, and mercury. These were products that really made visible differences, and the consumer was well-advised to be wary of the majority of these mysterious concoctions.
The evolution of cosmetology can be easily traced back to early as civilization times. Back in 10,000 BCE, both men and women in Egypt used oils quite often to hide the bad smells from their body. In addition, ...
The practice of improving the beauty of others may seem insignificant to some but for those in process of studying the cosmetology industry take great pride in the work they hope to produce. Hair stylist and nail technicians improve the way people look and feel about oneself to better improve self confidence; cosmetologist strive to do the best they can to achieve the look that their client may be searching for. However, these techniques must be taught thoroughly and without the proper teaching techniques, the upcoming cosmetologist may feel behind and uncertain about their abilities when performing on clients. Without the proper and professional ways of teaching, the student struggle to ever gain success in the business; this business builds only from the repetition of great work and failing to achieve the overall style of the desired look from the client will result in a failing business. The search of finding a successful and up to date school requires more work than one may assume.
Patient’s personal hygiene is a vital part of the nurse’s role. Young (1991) described cleanliness as a basic human right, not a luxury the need for the patient to physically cleansing and which would include skin, hair and nails.
In discussion, it were suggested that the individual him/herself, should approach the dermatologist to do skin checkup, and get suggested the right skin care and beauty products; and the products should be avoided for any skin allergies. This is a better way where the consumers will have a better idea of what needed by their skin and they can consider this when buying beauty products and also to avoid overspend. The consumers also should check for the review of users of the beauty products they planned to buy and visit the government website to check the registered and certified beauty products; and also to report the uncertified one for the government to take action. It will make people aware of brands that do follow the rules set by government and have less side
