Analysis of the Relationship between Skin Type and Skin Care and Skin Condition of Middle-Aged Women

This study aims to analyze the differences in skin conditions and care methods according to skin types in middle-aged women, and to propose effective care methods to promote the formation of proper skincare habits. The study was conducted through a survey of 249 women aged 40-60 from April 29 to May 3, 2024. The results showed that middle-aged women with dry skin had prominent issues with moisture deficiency and wrinkles, those with oily skin experienced excess sebum and breakouts, and those with sensitive skin exhibited high sensitivity. Therefore, personalized care tailored to each skin type is necessary, with an emphasis on exfoliation for dry skin. The findings indicate that personalized approaches considering the specific characteristics of skin conditions are essential for middle-aged women’s skincare. Skin elasticity and pigmentation emerged as significant factors. Ultimately, proper skincare education is crucial for improving skin health. Future research should include a comprehensive skincare guide encompassing various skin conditions and care methods.
