Purpose: As interest in appearance and style increases in modern society, the beauty industry is developing and research on it is actively being conducted. In addition, the beauty industry is not limited to decorating appearance and style, but also contributing to the psychological stability and self-esteem of individuals. In particular, nail care is a very important part of providing external confidence. This study aims to confirm the positive effects through nail care behavior and develop a service strategy for improving professional nail care services and specialized nail care management in the future. In addition, it was conducted with the purpose of improving the quality of life of individuals along with the continuous growth of the beauty industry by emphasizing the importance of nail care, improving customers' beauty care behavior, and contributing to increasing self-esteem. Method: In particular, an experimental study was conducted using the 'Nail and Toenail Shape Improvement Method' using the researcher's patented reverse pinching technique on 18 customers with problematic nails (in-grown nails) to measure satisfaction, pain scale, stress, and self-esteem before and after care, and the results were verified using a paired sample t-test. Results: The research results that summarize this study are as follows. The experimental study conducted in this study verified the effects of a nail and toenail shape improvement program targeting problematic toenails. As a result of applying this program, the satisfaction with nail care and self-esteem of customers with problematic toe-nails were improved, and pain and stress were reduced, which was a positive result. Therefore, it is thought that applying the nail and toenail shape improvement program to customers who need to manage problematic toe-nails suggested a new method of strengthening the technical expertise of nail shops and providing professional services. Conclusion: In particular, as a result of applying the problematic toenail shape improvement program through experiments, it was confirmed that the effects of reducing pain and stress as well as increasing self-esteem and customer satisfaction were empirically effective, and therefore, it is suggested that professional nail shops also utilize the reverse pinching technique of this program for customers who need to manage problematic toenails. The significance of this study is that problematic toenail care leads to the strengthening of the expertise of nail beauty services and provides guidelines for establishing service strategies that consider internal factors.Keyword:Nail Care Behavior, Problem Nails, Reverse Pinching Technique, Fingernail and Toenail Shape Improvement Program, Stress

Purpose: The domestic cosmetics industry has shown steady growth, fueled by advancements in cosmetic science and natural ingredient research. As the functional cosmetics market continues to expand, there is an increasing demand for natural materials with proven skin-enhancing properties. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a cosmetic formulation containing ginsenosides derived from wild-simulated ginseng and to scientifically evaluate its effects on facial skin through a human application study, thereby assessing its potential as an active ingredient in functional cosmetics. Method: In this study, a 4-week human topical application trial was conducted by dividing participants into two groups: an experimental group to whom an essence containing ginsenosides derived from wild-simulated ginseng was topically applied, and a control group to whom an essence without ginsenosides was topically applied. The collected data were analyzed to verify the effects of the wild-simulated ginseng essence using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. Levene’s test was conducted to assess the homogeneity of variances. Results: The experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in wrinkles, pigmentation, and moisture levels after product use (p < .05). In contrast, although some improvement was observed in pore size and sebum levels (T-zone and U-zone), these changes were not statistically significant. In the control group, a statistically significant change was observed only in moisture levels, while no significant differences were found in the other parameters, including pore size, wrinkles, pigmentation, and sebum levels. In the between-group comparison, a statistically significant difference was observed only in the wrinkle parameter, with the experimental group showing greater improvement than the control group (p < .05). For the remaining parameters—pore size, pigmentation, sebum levels, and moisture—no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups. Meanwhile, for sebum levels in the U-zone, Levene’s test indicated a violation of the assumption of homogeneity of variances. Accordingly, the data were analyzed using Welch’s t-test, which does not assume equal variances. Conclusion: The essence containing ginsenosides derived from wild-simulated ginseng was found to have positive effects on improving skin wrinkles, pigmentation, and hydration. These findings suggest the potential applicability of the essence as a functional cosmetic ingredient for preventing skin aging and improving the skin barrier. This study is significant in that it scientifically verified the skin benefits of ginsenosides derived from wild-simulated ginseng—a natural ingredient—through a human application trial. Future studies should include a larger number of participants and an extended application period to secure more generalizable evidence through large-scale human trials.Keyword:Wild Simulated Ginseng, Ginsenoside, Skin Activation, Essence, Functional Cosmetics

Purpose: This study analyzed the innate organ characteristics and constitution of an individual based on the theory of yin-yang and five elements, which is a core theory of oriental medicine. The purpose is to apply a constitutional identification method utilizing the Heavenly stem and Earthly branch to identify the interactions between weak organs, meridians, and muscles according to constitution, and to design and apply beauty health content, a modern and scientific personalized program suitable for the smart beauty era, based on this. Method: In order to explore the constitutive principles of the theory of yin-yang and the five elements, we investigated previous studies on the theory of yin-yang and the five elements in domestic research information services (RISS), government-funded research institutes, dissertations, and academic journals, and conducted a literature review of papers closely related to the content of this study. Results: The constitutional classification method using Heavenly stem and Earthly branch was able to achieve more precise classification than the existing Sasang Constitutional System or Eight Constitutional System, and the constitutional classification based on Yin-Yang and Five Elements Constitution Theory was confirmed to be closely related to physiological characteristics such as organ function, meridian flow, and muscles. Through this process, the basis for showing the applicability of managing meridians and muscles linked to weak organs by constitution was presented. Conclusion: This study analyzed the innate organ characteristics and constitution of an individual based on the constituent principles of Yin-Yang and Five Elements Constitution Theory. By supplementing the existing constitution analysis method and reflecting the physiological differences according to constitution, it enabled more scientific and efficient personalized management. This is evaluated as an alternative that can increase the feasibility and sustainability of constitution-based health management programs.Keyword:Oriental Medicine, Yin-Yang and Five Elements Constitution Theory, The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, Sasang Constitutional System, Eight Constitutional System
