Abstract

In this study, water content, sebum content, and transepidermal water content were investigated to provide basic data for the future cosmetics industry as comparing the skin characteristics of different ages. Water content of cheek area, sebum content of nose area, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) of cheek and forearm of trial subjects (total 638 people of both male and female) were measured. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program (version 19.00; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Water content, sebum content, and TEWL of skin were measured as mean ${\pm}$ standard deviation. As a result, water content of cheek from female was higher than male and the water content increased with the older ages. However, sebum content of nose from male was higher than female and the sebum content increased with the younger ages. TEWL of cheek from female was higher than male, but TEWL of forearm from male was higher than female. Therefore, these results can be used as basic data in the development of future cosmetics for different ages and genders.

본 연구에서는 연령별 수분함유량, 유분함유량 및 경표피수분함유량에 대한 데이터를 비교 분석함으로써 연령별 피부 특성 차이를 규명하여 향후 화장품 산업개발에 도움을 줄 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 피험자 남녀 총 638명을 대상으로 볼 부위의 수분함유량, 코 끝 부위의 유분함유량, 볼과 전박부위의 경표피수 분손실량을 측정하였으며, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 19.00; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였고 피험자에 대한 정보뿐 아니라 피부 수분함유량, 유분함유량, 경표피수분손실량의 피부 측정치 결과를 평균 ${\pm}$ 표준편차로 나타내었다. 그 결과 볼 부위의 수분함유량은 여성이 남성보다 높았으며, 연령이 높아질수록 수분함유량이 증가하였다. 또한 코 부위의 유분함유량은 남성이 여성보다 높았으며 연령이 낮아질수록 유분함유량이 증가하였다. 볼 부위의 경표피손실량은 여성이 남성보다 높은 반면, 전박 부위의 경표피손실량은 남성이 여성보다 높았다. 이상의 연구 결과로 추후 화장품 산업에서 연령별, 성별 기초화장품 개발 등에 도움을 줄 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.
