Who is the course with? Can't you ask your tutor as she should be able to point you in the right direction. As a starter, why not google your question.
Can't believe they would get you to do an assignment for work you haven't yet covered. Or perhaps they do want you to do your own research. Tutors eh

What? You'll find that unfortunately if you post something like this it won't be answered as we are not here to do your homework for you, merely point you to a place to find the answer yourself.

My advice is to not look at the internet but to invest in an anatomy and physiology book, that will serve you well throughout the course. I can't believe they are not teaching you this, is it a self direct beauty course?

yeah i am meant to research it... what i have done so far is this...

3.1 Describe the principal constituents of the skin.

The constituents of the skin are made up of three main parts. The epidermis, dermis and the hypodermis. Each part play an important role to the build up of skin as will be discussed later.

The outer layer of skin is the epidermis, this serves as a protective layer to the skin.

The layer found underneath the epidermis is the dermis. This layer is an elastic network made up of collagen and contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves, sweat glands and oil glands. The dermis features two separate layers: The capillary layer and the reticular layer.

The capillary layer is positioned directly underneath the epidermis and contains cone like projections that extend upward into the epidermis, otherwise known as the papillae. Nourishment is provided by the blood vessels to the living cells in the lower layers of the epidermis, whilst cellular waste is removed by the lymph vessels.

The reticular layer is dense and fibrous and contains blood and lymph vessels, fat cells, sweat and oil glands, hair follicles and arrector pili muscles attached to the hair follicles. The fibres help to support the other structures and allow the skin to flex and move. The fibres in the dermis are known as ‘connective tissue’.

If you were to look even further then you would find a layer called the hypodermis



Does anyone think thats ok? I havent finished it yet, thats just the start lol xx (BTW i have lots more questions on the assignment so it doesnt have to be an essay lol) xx

thanks, but yeah i am meant to research it but i cant find anything useful so was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction... and it is a college course.

Thanks x

There has been so many questions like this lately, do none of these courses give you the right books?? You really must invest in a good A+P book because if you are struggling on skin wait till you get the muscles, blood or lymph, your really going to need it,
Good luck x

thanks for the reply, what im stuck mostly on is what they are asking for in the question like whether they are asking what makes up the skin (the course doesnt cover this) or whether they are asking about the skins layers (they cover this in the course) however, i dont see how the question applies to the layers of the skin. Do you?
Thanks a lot! xx

I can see your problem here, i.e. the question is ambiguous. Personally I would cover both.

hey, thats what i am going to do i think, i have put this so far,


Beauty Therapy Level 2 - Assignment Number 3 - Page: 1

3.1 Describe the principal constituents of the skin.

The constituents of the skin are made up of three main parts. The epidermis, dermis and the hypodermis. Each part play an important role to the build up of the skin.

The outer layer of skin is the epidermis, this serves as a protective layer to the layers underneath and is made up of a type of body tissue called stratified, squamous, eptithelium and comprises of five layers.

The layer found underneath the epidermis is the dermis. This layer is an elastic network made up of collagen and contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves, sweat glands and oil glands. The dermis features two separate layers: The capillary layer and the reticular layer.

The capillary layer is positioned directly underneath the epidermis and contains cone like projections that extend upward into the epidermis, otherwise known as the papillae. Nourishment is provided by the blood vessels to the living cells in the lower layers of the epidermis, whilst cellular waste is removed by the lymph vessels.

The reticular layer is dense and fibrous and contains blood and lymph vessels, fat cells, sweat and oil glands, hair follicles and arrector pili muscles attached to the hair follicles. The fibres help to support the other structures and allow the skin to flex and move. The fibres in the dermis are known as ‘connective tissue’.

If you were to look even further then you would find a layer called the hypodermis or the subcutaneous or sometimes even the fatty layer. This layer is characterized by closely packed fat cells. The subcutaneous tissue comprises fatty tissue known as adipose, and gives the body smoothness and shape. This tissue contains stored fat which is burned up to create energy. It also performs the function of a protective cushion for the outer skin. Its thickness varies according to the sex, age and health of the person in question.

All the layers mentioned above build up to form the constituents of the skin.




DO you think that sounds right??? x

And i know everyone is being helpful saying to get an anatomy and physiology book but i dont have time and kind of need the assignment done soon! Therefore calling in the help of any salon geeks!!

Thanks xxx

Personally, I wouldnt do the work until your tutor sorted it out, but yes what you have done sounds about right, but it does sound abit copied? Did you cut and paste? I think we've all done it but you need to make it sound like you, if you know what I mean xx
