The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of cosmetics in adolescence and it was conducted on 396 elementary school, middle school, and high school girl students in the metropolitan area. The result showed that 56.9% of elementary school students, 82.5% of junior high school students and 90.3% of high school students experienced acne (total 81.3%), and the percentage that occurs throughout the face tended to increase in the upper grades. The use of skin care cosmetics was the most used lotion, followed by cleanser and skin. In color cosmetics, more than half (58.6%) of high school students frequently used skin make-up, and eyebrows and shadows were found to increase in use from middle school, and more frequently to more than half in high school. In the case of elementary school students, 62.1% of them have used lip makeup more than other color cosmetics, In particular, more than half of middle school students had daily lip makeup. Since the experience of using acne cosmetics was 33.3% for elementary school students, 44.9% for middle school students, and 50.7% for high school students, the use rate was relatively low compared to the incidence of acne. Despite the fact that adolescents have acne skin, the proportion and frequency of use of color cosmetics are high from elementary school. However, the proportion of 'daily washing' is 53% for elementary school students, 68.8% for middle school students, 82.4% of for high school students and it was less careful to remove makeup in the lower grades. Therefore, as the age of makeup in adolescence is getting younger, it is necessary to educate adolescents about the skin beauty urgently in order to protect and manage the skin from the use of indiscreet cosmetics.
