Skin disease, makeup and cosmetics have very close relationships. Patients with skin diseases have many questions about cosmetics and makeup, and they also ask these questions to dermatologists. To answer their questions correctly, it is necessary that dermatologists know how consumers choose and use their cosmetics. We conducted inquiry survey on cosmetics and makeup to 230 women; the outpatients of gender specific clinic and female hospital sta#s of Kasumigaura National Hospital, and female college students. The results of the questionnaire indicate that many consumers do not choose and use their cosmetics suitable for their skin conditions.
