The purpose of skin care is to protect the skin from skin aging factors, remove bodily waste, and replenish helpful skin components. The skin is influenced by external and internal factors, and just like breathing, water is also an essential ingredient to the human body. Especially, the daily fluid intake helps maintain the bodily fluid and plays the largest role in preventing skin aging and maintaining beautiful skin. Therefore, this study implies the necessity of fluid intake education in accordance with the awareness to skin health, which may affect the health of facial skin. Its purpose is to help build a proper awareness regarding fluid intake by providing basic data on education programs that help you understand the importance of fluid intake and put it into practice. The subjects of this study were 120 men and women between the age of 20 and 49, living in the metropolitan area. The study was carried out from May 2, 2015 to May 10, 2015. The questionnaire was consisted of 35 questions that included contents related to demographic variables, fluid intake, living habits, awareness of skin, awareness of fluid intake, awareness of body fluid, necessity of fluid intake education, and measurements of the subject’s facial skin. The SPSS 18.0 program was used for analyzing the data of this study. The subjects knew that water accounted for a large part of the body, but they said that drinking water was not essential – other beverages could be drunken instead. We implied that only fluid intake through drinking water could increase the amount of bodily fluid and that the amount of bodily fluid was related to facial skin health. This seemed to have effects on the subjects being aware to the necessity of fluid intake education (93.3%). Through this study, we hope that the necessity of fluid intake education for increased awareness on skin health through proper fluid intake will be spread and the maintenance of a healthy life and clear, moist skin increases.
