Min Song Kim, and Sang Mo Kang
ABSTRACT
This study surveys to find out the psychological meaning of facial wrinkles in the life of women in their 50s and analyze their desires for the facial anti-wrinkle improvement. The results are as follows. 48% of them thought that they’ve aged now while looking at their facial wrinkles. 41 of them responded that their life expectancy was 80 to 85 yr of age. 77% of them responded that they hope their facial wrinkles disappear as many as they want, and 33% of them responded that they hope their face wrinkles decrease by about 50% on the basis of the current state. 31% of them responded that they can give up their life expectancy or some of their property if their face wrinkles disappear all or as many as they want. For an abandonable target at this time, 62% and 33% of them responded that they can give up their property and life, respectively. 64% of them responded that they can give up their life expectancy under 3. Many of them responded that they can give up their property of 7% on average. 84% of them responded that they will receive skin care if their face wrinkles disappear all or as many as they want through regular skin care every month. 26% of them responded that they will have confidence which seems to do if they do something when their face wrinkles disappear all or as many as they want. Consequently, for 31.2% of those surveyed, their facial wrinkles are a factor affecting diverse fields such as their looks, human relations, works, and psychological view.
