Beauty salon customers’ knowledge about active substances used in aging skin care

Abstract

Skin aging is a natural, inevitable, biological and genetic process, which is defined as a set of irreversible changes that progress over time. It is believed that the first signs of skin aging are already visible at the age of 25. During this process, the biological involvement of the body’s cells in its renewal is reduced, and regeneration processes slow down. In order to maintain a good appearance, the help of an experienced cosmetologist is necessary, starting from proper skin diagnostics, followed care recommendations, to professional anti-aging therapies. No less important is the knowledge of active substances with anti-ageing potential. The aim of the study was to investigate the knowledge of beauty salon customers about active substances used in aging skin care.
