Abstract
Paraffin wax is used for mask and bath in skin care and medical therapy. In this study, optimal temperature and skin improvement effect of paraffin wax such as stimulation of micro blood circulation and removal of sebum and keratin was investigated in women in the 20`s. Paraffin wax was spread first 5 layers and 10 layers at 50~55oC on inner wrist to observe potential temperature. Second 5 layers paraffin wax mask were applied twice/week in 4 weeks on dry facial skin of 7 women. Content of moisture and sebum were measured, and pore amount/size, skin surface temperature and skin improvement of keratin remove and texture were observed. In the result, potential temperature of paraffin wax was revealed in 5 layers at 52~53oC. After 8 times application of paraffin wax mask, moisture and sebum content were increased to 6.0% and to 12~19% before application. Face surface temperature were significantly increased to 3.7oC, and fine and large pores were significantly decreased to 234.6 pieces and to 69.7 pieces before application(p<0.05). Removal of keratin and crusts, improvement of skin texture and ton were observed after paraffin wax mask application. In conclusion, paraffin wax mask could have not only thermal effect but also deep cleansing effect and may be very useful in skin care.
