Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine what internally and externally affected skin care in routine life in an attempt to help improve the daily life habits of women and delay their skin aging. The subjects in this study were 379 female adults from Seoul, Bundang and Chuncheon. They were 97 female at the age of 20 and up. After their medical history and facial skin were checked, a survey was conducted. The findings of the study were as below: 1. Concerning in which part of the facial skin they were interested, they were most intrigued by pigmentation like liver sports or freckles (21.35%), followed by elasticity(20.3%), wrinkles(18.4%), dryness(15.8%), pore size(10.7%), excessive sebum excretion(6.2%) and others. 2. The most widely used basic cosmetic was toner and emulsion(17%), followed by sun block(14%), nutrition cream(14%), eye cream(12%), moisturizing cosmetics(11%), wrinkle-improving cosmetics(7%) and whitening cosmetics(5%). 3. As for skin care, the women who took care of their own skin by using cosmetics, etc., constituted the largest group(55.4%). The second largest group(11.3%) used skin-care clinics, and the third greatest group(5%) visited dermatologists. The fourth largest group(28.2%) didn`t take care of their skin. The most frequently used material for skin care was a mask pack(44.3%), and those who were less educated, whose monthly income was smaller and who were younger took care of their skin in person. 4. Regarding life habits, more than half(62.8%) slept for six to seven hours a day, and many(54.1%) took four or five cups of water a day. 5. When their facial skin was evaluated, moisture values were higher among the women who took six or seven cups of water a day, who slept for six to eight hours, who didn`t have a coffee, who were jobless, who were married and who got regular exercise. 6. As to oil state, those who worked out were moist but not oily in the face. Specifically, the women who had a job and who found themselves under pressure were oilier in the forehead. 7. The skin elasticity was stronger among those who worked out on a regular basis, who received skin-care treatment from experts, who slept for six to seven hours, who didn`t have a coffee, and who were unemployed.
