Abstract

|
Objectives: Boryeong Mud includes as much mineral as in the Dead Sea. Assumption that Boryeong Mud also can improve atopy immune and skin moisturizing process has been theorized. By variously moisturizing on the dry skin layer caused by atopy, I have studied the impact on the skin state improvement.
Methods: Subjects are patients who have suffered from atopy. By variously moisturizing on the dry skin layer
caused by atopy, I have studied the impact on the skin state improvement. 36 subjects were applied to the mud pack twice a week for 6 weeks.
Results:The average moisture figure applied to Boryeong Mud has increased from 28,75(±3,412) to 49(±7,502) after the experiment.On the other hand, the average moisture figure applied to the Dead Sea Mud has increased from 30,75(±8,447) to 48,38(±6,545). Itching has been relieved after the experiment, too. average figure was 7,78(±2.635), and the opposite group(The Dead Sea) was also 7,78(±2.635) before the experiment. However both the figure has decreased to 1,11(±2.205) and,1.67(±2.500) and the itching of all the subjects has improved enormously.
Conclusion: I have made sure that Boryeong Mud can be recognized as much as the Dead Sea Salt in that it can contain enough ingredients and can be produced specially according to various skin type. It can also be applied as a basic datum in esthetic field program.
