Subjective Skin Condition and Beauty Therapy Preference of Female College Students

Abstract

Purpose: We investigated the beauty therapies preferred by female college students based on their subjectively perceived skin condition and type, as well as how female college students evaluate their skin condition and type to provide optimal beauty for different skin types.Methods: Beauty students who could correctly identify beauty therapy and their own skin condition and type were chosen from those who had taken beauty therapy-related classes for more than 4 semesters, and 158 copies were used as final statistical analysis data.Results: According to the individual’s subjective skin condition and type, most female college students believe that they had combination skin with a significant difference in the oil levels between the T-zone and both cheeks, and they felt sensitive due to the lack of oil and moisture in the cheek area. In terms of subjective skin condition type and beauty therapy preference differences, massage therapy was strongly recommended for those with combination skin, Pango therapy for those with oily skin, and chocolate therapy for those who considered themselves to have dry skin. In terms of subjective skin condition type and beauty therapy satisfaction differences, those with oily skin reported being satisfied with the feeling that their face was clean, their skin was moisturized, and their skin felt tight, whereas those with oily and sensitive skin were extremely satisfied with the scent during beauty treatment.Conclusion: As a beauty therapy program reflecting these characteristics, it is deemed appropriate to improve the lactation balance by combining aromatherapy, chocolate therapy, and massage therapy.
