Skin is the largest organ in our body, and it is visible. And skin conditions or features determine our appearance. Especially to women, as skin damage is directly exposed to the outside unlike the other parts of our body, it may seem even more serious. Skin makeup can provide positive effect both externally and internally as it covers facial flaws and protects our skin. Although researches on skin makeup have been often conducted, research on how to improve skin makeup conditions effects practically has been hardly performed so far. In this study, we divided women in their 20’s by their skin type and made a survey to research the factor of facial blemish and sensitiveness standard. Based on the survey results we want to find out about how to repair the skin and how to improve in skin makeup. On the first section, the results in the survey showed that combination skin, compared to dry skin and oily skin have more facial blemish and are more sensitive, therefore, skin makeup is less effective. Also, in skin makeup psychology, covering blemish are the most effective expectations, however, when this effect is dissatisfied the survey showed that they got mental stress. On the second and third section we researched about ceramide, collagen and ginseng (These were reported that it could recover damage skin) skin makeup and find a new way to repair the skin. The sections are divided into: Section one ‘women(age between 20 and 30th) divided by their skin type: Survey research about the factor of facial blemish and sensitiveness standard, section two about‘ Ceramide emulsion’, section three about ‘ginseng, ceramide, and combination of collagen+ginseng’, and how all these are a effect of skin makeup improvement. First, the study selected 30 women who were self-diagnosed to have sensitive skin and met the conditions of the experiment among the subjects of the survey. Next, they were divided into 3 groups: a control group, a ceramide emulsion-applying group, and a collagen diet group for the 1st session. A year later, for the 2nd experiment, 30 women were selected in the same period and the same method that had been chosen for the 1st experiment. And they were separated into 3 groups: a control group, a red ginseng diet group, and a complex diet group. About the experimental method used, the improvement of skin makeup effect was examined by measuring and observing through equipment evaluation skin conditions and skin makeup conditions such as blackheads, the number and area of small pigmentation, the number and area of large pigmentation, and values shown in erythema and melanin index and then analyzing the changes comparatively. According to the result of comparing the changes of the control group, the group applying ceramide emulsion as 3 mL-5 mL twice per day and the group practicing a diet with 3 g collagen twice per day in the 1st experiment, 4 weeks after the ceramide emulsion application, skin makeup conditions such as the number of small pigmentation, the number of large pigmentation, and erythema significantly reduced, which proved the improvement of skin makeup effect. Also, skin and skin makeup conditions’ the number of blackheads, the area of small pigmentation, and the area of large pigmentation showed positive reduction effect whereas skin and skin makeup conditions’ melanin reduction was not affected. Four weeks after the collagen diet, skin makeup conditions’ erythema and melanin index reduced significantly, which proved the improvement of skin makeup effect, and skin conditions and skin makeup conditions’ number and area of small pigmentation and of large pigmentation did indicate positive reduction effect. According to the result of comparing the control group, the group practicing a diet with red ginseng as 2 g three times a day, and the group applying ceramide emulsion as 3 mL-5 mL twice a day and practicing a complex diet with collagen powder as 3 g twice a day and red ginseng as 2 g three times a day in the 2nd experiment, 4 weeks after the red ginseng diet, skin makeup conditions’ number and area of small and large pigmentation and erythema index reduced significantly, which proved the improvement of skin makeup effects, and skin makeup conditions’ number of blackheads and skin conditions’ area of small pigmentation indicated positive reduction effects. The 4 week red ginseng diet, however, did not influence skin and skin makeup conditions’ melanin reduction. 4 weeks after the complex diet, skin makeup conditions’ number of blackheads, and area of large pigmentation, and erythema index, etc. showed significant reduction, which proved the improvement of skin makeup effects, and skin conditions and skin makeup conditions’ number and area of small pigmentation and melanin indicated positive reduction effects. After the complex diet, skin makeup conditions’ number of blackheads did show noticeable reduction effect, and skin makeup conditions’ number and area of large pigmentation and erythema index indicated much more improvement effects than in the single diet. Through this result we can know that normalizing skin barrier for woman in their 20th with sensitive skin and improving makeup has a close relation. Makeup will be applied to the epidermis of the Stratum corneum and make it function properly so that the corneous, dead skin cell, die out and control the balance of water and oil. As a result, makeup will have a better adhesion and will improve in covering. This experiment will be efficient information for the future and current cosmetic industries.
