you are right they quite vague questions - do you a number of marks for each - that would give an idea of detail required.

For skin the effects are all the general massage ones - mainly desquamation ( removal of dead cells) , erythema ( reddening showing increased blood flow ) with this comes the beenfits of more nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells and the carrying away of more tooxins ?waste from cell respiration via the venous and lymphatic system.

For muscles increased blood flow is the main one and carrying away toxins means that "knots" are reduced which means increased blood flow (circular improvment) and therefore better muscle function after the massage.

hope this helps

thnx that does help. there isnt certain marks of each question. its VTCT so they basecially pass you or dont. some of the question are ok but theres another one which is explain effects and benfits of oil, cream and natural skin oils. i know the beneifts of each individual oil such as mustard, coconut etc but as a general idea apart from how it helps dry skin and nourishes i can think of what to put and as for cream surely that just for skin and then has it got the same benefits as normal massage cream??I love what i do and understand it but find it really hard to put things i have learnt into words. thanks a lot for your help.
