Abstract

The purpose of this study aims to research the effect of hydrogen rich water on 40`s~60`s women`s facial skin. In this research, the main concern is to analyze how hydrogen rich water affects preventing middle-aged women`s facial skin aging. To do efficient research, participants in this experiment were classified into the hydrogen rich water intake group (Exp.) and the control group (Cont). Participants in the eight women respectively. The hydrogen rich water taking 1.5L-2L every day, was provided for (Exp.) group from April 2016, for 12 weeks until June 2016. Analyzed parts are brightness, however, pH, melanin, erythema, sebum, moisture, dead skin cell, pore of the facial skin. These parts at Konkuk University laboratory. The average variations of facial skin melanin figures showed that experiment group decreased by 7.0%, but control group increased by 8.4%, respectively, 15.4% less facial skin melanin figures in experiment group than control group. The average variations of facial skin erythema figures showed that experiment group decreased by 4.7%, but control group increased by 4.8%, difference in a 9.5%. The average variations of facial skin brightness figures showed that experiment group increased by 3.0%, but control group decreased by 2.0%, difference in a 5.0%. Likewise, the results of an experiment varied depending on parts of facial skin but, to be sure, it is clarified that hydrogen rich water intake has a positive effect on facial skin aging.
