화장품 도포방법에 따른 피부 관리 전후의 상태 비교

In the present study, an attempt was made to compare and analyze the changes in facial skin condition after application of cosmetics using basic cosmetic application methods and air brush of modern women using a skin analyzer and a dermoscope. The results of facial skin moisture measurement showed that the control group and the experimental group maintained a sufficient moisture content in the foreheads, both cheeks and chin except the nose. According to the findings of skin sebum measurement, there was no significant change in the forehead, both cheeks and the chin of control group-1, and the nose decreased below normal after the experiment. The forehead, right cheek, and chin were normal in control group-2, and the nose increased from normal to above normal 4 weeks after the experiment. The forehead, left cheek, and chin of experimental group-1 increased to normal after the experiment, and the forehead, right cheek, nose and chin of experimental group-2 remained normal after the experiment. The results of pH measurement revealed that the forehead of the control group decreased from normal to below normal, while the remaining portion did not show any significant change. The experimental group-1 showed normal values in all portions and the experimental group-2 showed normal values in the nose and both cheeks. Dermoscopic studies showed that skin condition of the control group and the experimental group were different depending upon the concerned skin areas. The skin changes before and after the experiment turned out to be consistent with the result of the skin analysis using a skin analyzer. The experimental group showed an improvement in skin condition after the experiment. To sum up, skin care using air brush is effective for moisturizing as the fine particles ejected through the nozzle improve adhesion and durability to the skin. In order to maintain a balance between moisture and sebum in the skin, it is expected that our findings will be more effective if manual operation is performed after spraying with air brush.
