In this study, water content, sebum content, and transepidermal water content were investigated to providebasic data for the future cosmetics industry as comparing the skin characteristics of different ages. Water content ofcheek area, sebum content of nose area, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) of cheek and forearm of trial subjects(total 638 people of both male and female) were measured. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the SocialSciences program (version 19.00; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Water content, sebum content, and TEWL of skin weremeasured as mean ± standard deviation. As a result, water content of cheek from female was higher than male andthe water content increased with the older ages. However, sebum content of nose from male was higher than femaleand the sebum content increased with the younger ages. TEWL of cheek from female was higher than male, but TEWLof forearm from male was higher than female. Therefore, these results can be used as basic data in the developmentof future cosmetics for different ages and genders.
