Abstract

수분량, 유분량, 피부밝기, pH 등 피부 특성을 나타내는 지표들은 환경적, 유전적 요소에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 하지만 이는 절대적인 피부 특성을 나타내는 것으로 사람들이 느끼는 감성적인 피부 특성과는 차이가 있다. 이를 반영하듯 최근 임상 연구들은 절대적인 피부 변화를 통한 사람들의 인지 변화에 관한 연구들이 주를 이루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 아시아인을 대상으로 국가별로 절대적인 피부색의 차이 뿐 아니라 실제 피부색의 변화에 따라 본인들이 인지하는 피부 밝기에도 차이가 있는지를 규명하고자 하였다. 아시아 3개국 총 410명의 피험자들이 본 연구에 참여하였으며 설문을 통해 본인들이 생각하는 피부밝기를 3단계로 구분하여 응답하고 본인이 생각하는 피부 밝기 변화에 따라 실제 피부색은 어떤 양상으로 변화하는지를 분석하였다. 국적에 관계 없이 모든 참가자들이 공통적으로 피부색이 밝다고 느낄수록 실제 피부 밝기는 증가하는 양상을 보였지만 절대적인 피부색과 피부가 밝다고 느끼는 정도는 차이가 있었다. 게다가, 피부 붉은기와 노란기의 변화도 국가별로 다른 양상을 보였다. 결론적으로, 본 연구 결과에 근거하여 판단 할 때 본인들의 피부 밝기를 인지하는 요소는 절대적인 피부 밝기가 아닌 국가별로 다른 기준이 적용된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Various indicators representing skin characteristics such as skin hydration, sebum excretion rate, lightness, and pH are different depending on environmental and genetic factors. However, they are absolute skin indicators and are different from skin characteristics that a person recognizes. Based on this fact, many recent studies have been mainly conducting researches on perspective changes according to changes of absolute skin. This study was proposed not only to find out differences on skin colors of asian by nations, but also to find out whether there was any difference in skin brightness they perceive depending on actual skin color changing. As many as 410 subjects of three Asia nations were participated in this study, and investigated their responses on skin brightness using questionnaire, which was answered their skin color in three different levels. It was also were analyzed how actual skin brightness were changed depending on their perceived skin color changes of subjects. There was a trend showing that the brightness of the actual skin color was increased when participants felt their skin color got brighter regardless of their nationalities. However, there were some differences in color between perceived color and actual color. In addition, there was a different aspect by nations in changes of skin redness and skin yellowness. In conclusion, it was revealed that factors which help people to perceive their own skin brightness were not based on absolute skin brightness, but on different criteria depending on where they are from.
