Effects of Oil/Moisture Changes after Using Herbal Peeling Therapy on Women in their 20s and 30s with Comedonal Acne Skin

Abstract

Purpose: Nowadays, modern people are stressed both externally and internally, and as their lifestyle changes, their skin becomes more sensitive. Peeling reportedly results in fundamental improvements on the skin; it compensates for skin defects and makes the skin healthy. It is also used in aesthetics or in the hospital to manage signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles. This study aimed to present useful basic data for improving skin care by comparing and verifying oil and moisture changes. Here, we applied herbal peeling therapy to evaluate its effectiveness and development potential for skin improvement. Methods: This study examined 15 women in their 20s and 30s who had comedonal acne on the face to compare the oil and moisture changes to determine the efficacy of the peeling therapy in improving skin condition. Results: After the experiment, groups A and B demonstrated statistically significant increases in oil content (p =0.0369 and p =0.0438, respectively). However, only group A showed a statistically significant increase in moisture (p =0.009 vs. p =0.1569). Conclusion: Overall, peeling improved the comedonal acne of the subjects, except for some because of inability to control the side effects due to climate change. We look forward to conducting additional research to provide the beauty service industry with filling management without side effects.
