This study has attempted to investigate changes in skin conditions (sebum, moisture and elasticity levels) aftergiving a skincare lesson to 10 elderly women 6 times in total for two (2) weeks and having them take care of their skin on their own twice a week for eight (8) weeks and find out how their self-Respect and life satisfaction have changed. In terms of analysis of skin conditions, Hydration (Corneometer, CM825), sebum (Sebumeter, SM815) and elasticity (Cutometer) were measured using the multi-process of MPA9 (C+K electronic GmbH, Cologne, Germany). Using a questionnaire tool, self-Respect and life satisfaction were examined. Then, the following results were obtained: The Hydration, sebum and elasticity levels increased in four (4) and eight (8) weeks after self skincare, but no statistical significance was observed. In terms of self- Respect and life satisfaction, self-Respect increased from 31.90± 3.44 to 36.20±4.07 while life satisfaction increased from 66.80±8.71 to 71.10±7.49 in eight (8) weeks (p<.001).
