Abstract

In this study, we examined the use of cosmetics among adolescents in our country and their purchasing behavior, as the use of cosmetics has increasingly been prevailing in the younger generation. The aims of this study were to investigate the state of the youth cosmetics market, to grasp the needs of youth and ultimately to suggest the right directions for the youth cosmetics market. The subjects in this study were 1,092 boys and girls from 10 selected secondary schools in Seoul. After a survey was conducted, the answer sheets from 1,074 respondents were gathered, and the collected data were analyzed by the statistical package (SPSS WIN 18.0). The vast majority of the teens participated in the survey were answered to use basic cosmetics daily, and there was a gradual increase in the frequency that they used color cosmetics. They started to use cosmetics earlier in ages than the older generations. Most of them were in trouble due to acne, and the most dominant way to get rid of their skin troubles was by using cosmetics. The most common place at which they purchased cosmetics were brand shops, and they gave priority to the function of the products when they bought cosmetics. The adolescents were still told by their schools to abstain from using cosmetics, and that was the case for social climate as well. Yet they definitely wanted to be allowed to use cosmetics.

청소년들의 화장품 사용이 점차 증가하고 있는 현 시점에서 우리나라 청소년들의 화장품 사용실태 및 구매행동에 관하여 분석하였다. 청소년 화장품 시장의 정확한 실태 파악을 통하여 청소년의 니즈를 분석하고, 청소년 화장품 시장의 바람직한 발전 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 대상은 서울거주 남, 녀 중, 고등학생으로 서울 지역의 중, 고등학교 10곳을 선정하여 1092명에게 설문지를 배포하고 1074명의 실증자료를 얻어 SPSS WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 대다수의 청소년들이 기초화장품을 사용하고 있으며, 색조 화장품의 사용 빈도도 점차 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 화장품을 처음 사용하는 연령도 점차 낮아지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대다수의 청소년들이 여드름으로 고민하고 있으며, 피부고민 해결방법으로는 화장품 사용이 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. 화장품 구매 장소로는 브랜드샵이 가장 많았고, 제품의 효능, 효과를 구매의 가장 큰 포인트로 삼고 있었다. 청소년들의 화장품 사용에 대한 학교와 사회의 제재와 통제는 여전히 존재하며, 반면에 화장품 사용의 양성화를 원하는 청소년들의 요구는 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다.
