Abstract
Face skin wrinkles are folds or creases that form under the skin layer. The process of forming
skin wrinkles is not known, but there are intrinsic and extrinsic factors that can affect the
formation of skin wrinkles. This study aims to determine whether there is any correlation
between the amount of drinking water consumption and sebum levels with the level of facial skin
wrinkles. This study used observational analytic with a cross-sectional study design method, with
66 respondents as female congregants from the Gereja Batak Karo Protestan, age between 50-60
years. Before the skin examination, the respondents measured the water consumption in one day
with a 500 mL drinking bottle for 3 consecutive days than record the results. In this study,
Dermoprime Viso was used as a skin analyzer to determine the level of sebum and the level of
facial skin wrinkles of the respondents. Besides, Spearman and Kruskal Wallis were used for
statistical assessment purposes. The study results found that there are significant correlations
between the amount of drinking water consumption and sebum levels with the level of skin
wrinkles.

I. INTRODUCTION
The skin is the largest organ in the human body, which is about 15% of an adult's body
weight. The skin functions as a body protector from environmental exposure namely ultraviolet
(UV), chemical and physical trauma, and microorganisms. Besides, the skin also functions to
prevent dehydration, regulate body temperature, and can regenerate itself [1;2;3]. The skin is the
outermost layer of the body and is constantly exposed to stimuli from the environment [4]. As
we get older, the skin will share the ageing process which causes the skin to become thinner, dry,
wrinkled, and there is uneven pigmentation [5;6].
Wrinkles are wrinkles or curves that form on the bottom surface of the skin. Towards the
age of the third decade, the skin begins to experience structural changes and fine wrinkles begin
to appear. Skin wrinkles are measured in depth and width, wrinkles less than 1 mm are classified
as fine wrinkles. And wrinkles more than 1 mm are classified into deep wrinkles. Wrinkles on
the facial skin, arms and hands are easily observed, so research is often done on these parts [7;8].
According to a 2009 Gover study found that most in diseases related to skin aged 60-70 years are
skin wrinkles that are 95.5%. The most wrinkled locations are the areas of the skin that are often
exposed to sunlight, namely the face, neck, lower limbs and back of the hands [9;10].
The process of the formation of skin wrinkles is not known with certainty, because many
factors affect. Based on research, it is known that skin wrinkles are influenced by two
interrelated factors namely internal factors and external factors [11;12]. The shape and function
of the skin are maintained by the balance of water content in the stratum corneum (SC) and skin
surface lipids (SSL) in the epidermis [3;13].
In SC, if dehydration can cause fine wrinkles on the skin, but it happens reversibly and can
be treated with fluid rehydration. In general, many statements that the consumption of adequate
and regular drinking water will make the skin moist and prevent wrinkles. A research was
conducted to a prospective study of a group of healthy people who consumed 2.25 L of mineral
water or tap water for 4 weeks. From the results of his research stated that an increase in water
content in the epidermis, the skin looks smoother and increased skin density [9;14;15]. The
consumption of adequate drinking water can increase levels of humidity in SC [10;16]. As for
SSL, it is formed from sebum produced by sebaceous glands [17;18]. Radiation from the sun can
accelerate the process of formation of skin wrinkles. One function of sebum is as photoprotection
from UV radiation, to reduce direct exposure to sunlight [19; 20].
Based on this, the researcher is interested in finding out whether there is a relationship
between the amount of drinking water consumption and sebum levels to the level of skin
wrinkles in the female congregation of the Gereja Batak Karo Protestan (GBKP).
II. RESEARCH METHOD
The design of this study was an observational analytical study using a cross-sectional study
design, with the scope of Skin Health and Gender Sciences. The scope of the research location is
the Pondok Gede Ruggun GBKP congregation. When the research was conducted in November -
December 2019. The population in this study was the GBKP female congregation and the sample
used in this study was a portion of the GBKP female congregation aged 50-60 years. The
sampling of this research used total sampling technique. The research tools used in this study
were questionnaires, 500 mL drinking bottles, and skin examination tools using the Skin
Diagnostic System: Dermaprime viso. Dermoprime Viso is a measuring tool that automatically
makes a diagnosis for the skin. This tool is equipped with a camera's optical lens, LED lights,
skin moisture sensor, algorithm calculation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) system. The
Dermoprime Viso device can measure moisture, pores, skin wrinkles, skin pigmentation, keratin
and skin types (sebum). The amount of drinking water consumption in 1 day is as follows, Less
(<2 L), Enough (2-2.5L) and Lots (> 2.5L).
III. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The results of research data conducted in November - December 2019, will be analyzed using the
SPSS program or software version 16.0, by testing the results of the univariate analysis using
descriptive and bivariate using nonparametric correlation tests with the Spearman and Kruskal
Wallis methods. The univariate analysis discusses the description and analysis of the description
of the variables in the study. The results of the study obtained primary data, intending to
determine the characteristics of the respondents in this study with the following results.

that the majority of respondents have fine lines wrinkles. The bivariate analysis aims to
determine the relationship between the independent variables (drinking water and sebum) with
the dependent variable (skin wrinkles). To test the relationship between the two variables using a
non-parametric test with the Spearman and Kruskal Wallis methods.
The Relationship between Drinking Water Consumption and the Skin Wrinkles Levels
Figure 1. Drinking-Water Consumption and Skin Wrinkles Level
Based on figure 1, it is known that respondents who consume more drinking water tend to
have better levels of wrinkles. The scale used for the variable amount of drinking water
consumption and the level of skin wrinkles is the ordinal-ordinal scale because it was analyzed
by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test method first. Normality test results obtained a P-
value of 0,000 in both drinking water data because the P-value <0.05 so that it can be concluded
that the amount of drinking water data is not normally distributed. Then, it will proceed with the
Spearman analysis test.

The relationship between Sebum Level based on Skin Type with the Face Skin Wrinkle Level
Figure 2. Sebum Frequency Based on Skin Type with the Face Skin Wrinkle Level
Based on figure 2, it is known that only respondents with dry skin type have good levels of
skin wrinkles, as well as the deep wrinkle category only dry skin types that do not exist. When
compared with oily and combination skin types. The scale used for variable skin type and level
of skin wrinkles is a nominal-ordinal scale because it was analyzed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov
normality test method first. Based on the results of the normality test, a P-value of 0,000 was
obtained for respondents with dry and oily skin types and a P-value of 0.035 for respondents for
combination skin types. Because the P-value <0.05, it can be concluded that the three data are
not normally distributed. Then it will be continued with the Kruskal Wallis analysis test.

From the results of the table above, we got the P-value of 0.010. Because the P-value
<0.05, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between sebum levels based on
skin type and the level of skin wrinkles. From the bivariate analysis selection results, the two
independent variables P-value results <0.05, then can be entered into multivariate analysis.

Logistic regression test, significant at ≤ p 0.05
The variable is said to be the most significant if the number of P-values is the smallest, so
in this study, the most influential variable on the level of skin wrinkles is sebum because the P-
value is 0.019.
In this study, univariate results did not get the amount of drinking water consumption that
was lacking. Because the respondents that researchers get come from church congregations
whose level of knowledge about drinking water consumption can be said to be good, and can
also be connected with the level of education of respondents, namely the average high school
education and S1 factors that help in terms of the level of consumption knowledge in addition to
the level of education are employment status, family income, maternal nutrition knowledge, and
health education. In this case, health education is intended to raise awareness, provide or increase
community knowledge about the maintenance and improvement of health both himself, his
family and the surrounding community [21;22].
The highest frequency of sebum content based on skin type is oily skin type. And based on
the age of the respondents, the most were 50 years of age. These are interconnected because
sebum production is related to age. Along with the increase, the production of sebum in the skin
will decrease. Sebum production will decrease by 32% every 10 years in women, starting from
the age of 50 years [23; 24;25]. Therefore, the results of the frequency of the level of wrinkles of
respondents obtained the highest level of fine lines wrinkles. This can be attributed to the
majority of respondents' skin types are oily skin types. Because, more levels of sebaceous glands
can prevent the formation of dry skin and wrinkled skin [26;27].
The relationship between drinking water consumption with the face skin wrinkles level - In
this study there is a relationship between the amount of drinking water consumption with the
level of skin wrinkles. This result can also be linearly related to the research, which compares the
skin condition of the respondent with the amount of drinking water consumed daily. In the
results of the study, it was found that the level of hydration and biomechanical conditions of the
skin condition of people who consume more drinking water is better when compared to people
who consume less drinking water [23]. The skin condition will change to become smoother when
skin moisture is maintained, this happens when there is an increase in drinking water
consumption. So that through this research it can be seen, besides consuming enough drinking
water can make the skin condition improve and smoother, consuming enough drinking water can
also have a lower level of skin wrinkles [28; 29].
The manifestation of the ageing process in the form of wrinkled skin and lines, and the
emergence of spots (patches on the skin). This is due to decreased production of type I collagen
and increased extracellular matrix collagen fragmentation. Besides, in the elderly population, dry
skin (xerosis cutis) is associated with loss of adipose tissue and a decrease in body fluids. Water
content in ageing skin, especially the stratum corneum, is less than in younger skin [30;31;32].
Age-related changes in the composition of amino acids, besides, reduce the amount of skin
NMF, thereby reducing the binding capacity of skin water. SC water levels, in particular,
progressively decrease with age, eventually dropping below the level needed for effective
desquamation. Decreased desquamation process causes corneocytes to accumulate and adhere to
the surface of the skin, resulting in rough, scaly, and scaly skin that accompanies xerosis in
ageing skin [33;34;35].
The relationship between Sebum and face skin type with the face skin wrinkles level - The
results of the study between sebum levels and skin types with the level of skin wrinkles are
directly proportional. The association between sebaceous glands and the depth of wrinkles.
Shallow wrinkles on the skin that contain more sebaceous glands, it can be one of the factors that
prevent dry skin and prevent the formation of deep skin wrinkles [36;37].
In addition to the face, manifestations of skin ageing also occur in all skin in other areas.
Some clinical manifestations that often interfere with skin ageing are pruritus senilis, actinic
keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, and lentigo solaris. Senile pruritus or itching complaints in old
age are mainly caused by dry skin syndrome or often called xerosis cutis [38;39]. The incidence
rate in the elderly is reported to be 30-75%, due to the influence of skin ageing which causes a
decrease in the ability to maintain skin moisture, increase transepidermal water loss (TEWL),
decrease sweat and sebum production, and decrease the factors that maintain skin moisture.
Some extrinsic factors can also trigger, including low air humidity, excessive bathing habits, the
use of irritative soaps, the use of clothes that are irritative, and the use of alcohol and acetone on
the skin. Clinical features include the appearance of dull and rough skin that is sometimes
accompanied by squama, and complaints of itching [40;41].
SC integrity depends on regular regulation of total lipids. Total ageing skin lipid content
was reduced by 65%. Ceramide levels, specifically ceramide 1 linoleate and ceramide, are
significantly reduced in older skin. Triglycerides are also reduced, such as the sterol fraction of
the stratum corneum lipids. Although NMF levels in SC are higher in older skin than in younger
ones (a consequence of slower epidermal turnover rates in older people), amino acid levels are
lower. Fewer but much larger corneocytes, with higher intra-corneal cohesiveness [42;43].
The relationship between drinking water and sebum with the face skin wrinkles level - In
the multivariate test results it was found that it was more meaningful and related to the sebum
variable compared to the drinking water variable. This is supported by Popkin in 2010, that the
skin contains about 30% water, which contributes to the skin's elasticity, elasticity, and
durability. SC cellular structures and skin lipids can work to hold water in the skin. Water intake,
especially in individuals with high initial water intake, can increase skin thickness and density.
However, adequate skin hydration is not enough to prevent wrinkles or other signs of ageing,
which are related to genetics and the sun and environmental damage. Which is more useful for
individuals who have been consuming enough fluids from the start.
When compared with sebum, which is indeed influenced by age, sebum production has
decreased by 23% in men and 32% in women every 10 years. Although sebum production
decreases, sebaceous glands continue to enlarge so that the skin pores, especially the face, appear
to be getting bigger too [44;45]. The integrity of SC depends on the regular regulation of total
lipids. Total ageing skin lipid content was reduced by 65%. So that facial skin that contains lots
of sebaceous glands produces more sebum, thus preventing the skin from becoming dry and
deeper skin wrinkles. If the levels of sebaceous glands are less then the shape of the skin is more
easily changed and the risk of formation of skin wrinkles is greater.
IV. Conclusion
From the results of research conducted by researchers, it can be concluded that the
frequency of the level of skin wrinkles in women aged 50-60 years, most with the type of fine
lines wrinkles and no congregations found in the category of the amount of drinking water
consumption is less. The frequency of sebum levels based on skin type in the female
congregation was the oiliest skin type which was 63.3%. There is a significant correlation
between the amount of drinking water consumption and sebum levels with the level of skin
wrinkles. Sebum levels are more or less decisive for facial wrinkles.

Introduction The skin is important for the perception of health and beauty. Knowledge of the physiological, chemical, and biophysical differences between the skin of male and female patients helps dermatologists develop a proper approach not only for the management of skin diseases but also to properly take care of cosmetic issues. The influence of genetic and environmental factors on skin characteristics is also critical to consider. Methods A literature search of PubMed and Google was conducted to compare the biophysical and biomechanical properties of the skin of male and female patients using the keywords "skin", "hydration", "water loss", "sebum", "circulation", "color", "thickness", "elasticity", "pH", "friction", "wrinkle", "sex", "male", and "female". Results A total of 1070 titles were found. After removing duplications and non-English papers, the number was reduced to 632. Of the 632 titles, 57 were deemed suitable for inclusion in this review. The studies show that the skin parameters of hydration, transepidermal water loss, sebum, microcirculation, pigmentation, and thickness are generally higher in men but skin pH is higher in women. Conclusions These parameters can be considered as age markers in some cases and are susceptible to change according to environment and life style. Biometrological studies of the skin provide useful information in the selection of active principles and other ingredients of formulations to develop a specific approach for cosmetic treatments.

Background Skin microbiome varies from person to person due to a combination of various factors, including age, biogeography, sex, cosmetics and genetics. Many skin disorders appear to be related to the resident microflora, yet databases of facial skin microbiome of many biogeographies, including Thai, are limited. Methods Metagenomics derived B-RISA and 16S rRNA gene sequencing was utilized to identify the culture-independent bacterial diversity on Thai male faces (cheek and forehead areas). Skin samples were categorized (grouped) into (i) normal ( teenage.hea ) and (ii) acne-prone ( teenage.acn ) young adults, and normal (iii) middle-aged ( middle.hea ) and (iv) elderly ( elderly.hea ) adults. Results The 16S rRNA gene sequencing was successful as the sequencing depth had an estimated >98% genus coverage of the true community. The major diversity was found between the young and elderly adults in both cheek and forehead areas, followed by that between normal and acne young adults. Detection of representative characteristics indicated that bacteria from the order Rhizobiales, genera Sphingomonas and Pseudoalteromonas , distinguished the elderly.hea microbiota, along the clinical features of wrinkles and pores. Prediction of the metabolic potential revealed reduced metabolic pathways involved in replication and repair, nucleotide metabolism and genetic translation in the elderly.hea compared with that in the teenage.hea . For young adults, some unique compositions such as abundance of Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis , with a minor diversity between normal and acne skins, were detected. The metabolic potentials of the acne vs. normal young adults showed that teenage.acn was low in many cellular processes (e.g., cell motility and environmental adaptation), but high in carbohydrate metabolism, which could support acne growth. Moreover, comparison with the age-matched males from the US (Boulder, Colorado) to gain insight into the diversity across national biogeography, revealed differences in the distribution pattern of species, although common bacteria were present in both biogeographical samples. Furthermore, B-RISA served as a crosscheck result to the 16S rRNA gene sequencing (i.e., differences between teenage and elderly microbiota). Conclusions This study revealed and compared the microbial diversity on different aged Thai male faces, and included analyses for representing the bacterial flora, the clinical skin characteristics, and comparison with the US age-matched. The results represent the first skin microbiota of Thai males, and helps the design of a large-scale skin microbiome study of Thais. The findings of the diversity among ages, skin type and national biogeography supported the importance of these traits in the skin microbiome and in developing a safe and sustainable treatment for acne and aging skin diseases.

In the past few decades, video display terminals (VDTs) and computer use have been associated with various skin symptoms in several published reports. In addition, internet beauty sites report that extended computer use leads to acne or accelerated facial aging. For example, the term “computer face” is used to describe premature aging caused by sitting for long periods of time in front of the screen (http://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/news/a12937/computer-screen-skin-problems/). We wished to determine, using instrumental and expert assessment, if prolonged/extended computer use could be associated with certain skin conditions. This study focused on long-term (10 years or more) office VDT work and was designed to include a wide range of confounding variables. One hundred Chinese women were recruited, 50 in each of two groups characterized as either (a) computer users with 8 or more hours per day, or (b) non-users who use computers 1 h or less per day. All subjects lived in Guangzhou and worked in the same building. Confounders were assessed by survey, and included age, smoking, sun exposure history, exercise, and other factors. Skin conditions, which included acne, sebum, wrinkles, and pigment spots, were assessed by instrumental measurements and blinded dermatologist assessment. Age and skin conditions were subjected to logistic regression analysis to determine major contributors which could separate, or distinguish, the computer group from the non-computer group. From this analysis, the office computer users were found to be statistically significantly associated with a higher incidence of acne, higher sebum levels, and a higher risk of self-reported sensitive skin when compared with the non-computer group. The final model suggests that the major contributors in separating the two groups are acne and pigmented spots (UV and brown). These results indicate that facial skin of women within the Chinese population who use computers for 8 h or more a day may be at higher risk for acne; however, they had lower levels of attributes associated with photoaging, such as lentigines and facial wrinkles. Separate pairwise assessment of other variables such as lifetime cumulative sun exposure, sleep quality, smoking behavior, exercise, and cosmetic product use or procedures showed no significant differences between the two groups. This indicates that the results obtained from objective and subjective measurements were not biased due to these potential confounders, but does not reveal the mechanism for the observed differences in skin conditions between computer/VDT users and non-users.

Background Microdermabrasion is a popular form of mechanical peel, used for many aesthetic purposes. Because it removes the superficial epidermal layer, it has an impact on hydrolipid skin coat. Objective The aim of the study was to examine the changes taking place in the hydrolipid coat of the skin after microdermabrasion measured by skin hydration and sebum level. Methods Sixteen healthy women were included in the study, and the aluminium oxide crystal microdermabrasion device was used over the entire face of each patient. Measurements of stratum corneum hydration and sebum level were taken at baseline, just after the treatment, and 30 and 60 minutes later. Results A statistically significant difference in stratum corneum hydration was found on the cheeks 30 minutes after treatment and in the T‐zone immediately after the procedure. Sebum reduction was observed immediately after the procedure irrespective of skin type and face area. In addition, sebum value was found to return to baseline 1 hour after the procedure. Conclusions The observed changes in epidermal barrier function may be responsible for the clinical improvement following microdermabrasion.

Background: Associations between daily amounts of drinking water and skin hydration and skin physiology receive increasingly attention in the daily life and in clinical practice. However, there is a lack of evidence of dermatological benefits from drinking increased amounts of water. Materials and methods: Pubmed and Web of Science were searched without any restrictions of publication dates. References of included papers and related reviews were checked. Eligibility criteria were primary intervention and observational studies investigating the effects of fluid intake on skin properties in English, German, Spanish or Portuguese language, including subjects being healthy and 18+ years. Results: Searches resulted in 216 records, 23 articles were read in full text, and six were included. The mean age of the samples ranged from 24 to 56 years. Overall the evidence is weak in terms of quantity and methodological quality. Disregarding the methodological limitations a slight increase in stratum corneum and "deep" skin hydration was observed after additional water intake, particularly in individuals with lower prior water consumption. Reductions of clinical signs of dryness and roughness were observed. The extensibility and elasticity of the skin increased slightly. Unclear associations were shown between water intake and transepidermal water loss, sebum content, and skin surface pH. Conclusions: Additional dietary water intake may increase stratum corneum hydration. The underlying biological mechanism for this possible relationship is unknown. Whether this association also exists in aged subjects is unclear. Research is needed to answer the question whether increased fluid intake decreases signs of dry skin.

Although much of gerontological research in dermatology has focused on an esthetic abeyance of the signs of aging, little real medical attention has been paid to the psychosocial effects of aging skin. Patients with skin disease, including elderly patients, have a substantial burden of psychosocial suffering. The high visibility of skin diseases, particularly when superimposed on the already compromised aged skin, induces both unconscious and intentional stigmatization of the patient. The awareness of one’s compromised appearance makes interpersonal relationships uncomfortable and promotes social withdrawal. Having a rough, itchy, aged skin is associated with a significant level of both physical and psychological discomfort. Dermatologists and patients differ in their assessment of the psychosocial impact of dermatological conditions. Patient health should be measured not only by physical symptoms but also by the likely psychological and social sequelae, all having impact on the quality of life.

With the growing interest in skincare and maintenance, there are increasing numbers of studies on the classification of skin type and the factors influencing each type. This study presents a novel methodology by using data mining, for the determination of the relationships between skin type, lifestyle, and patterns of cosmetic utilization. Eight skin-specific factors, which are moisture, sebum in U-zone (both cheeks), sebum in T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), pore, melanin, wrinkle, acne, hemoglobin, were measured in 1,246 subjects living in South Korea, in conjunction with a questionnaire survey analyzing their lifestyles and pattern of cosmetic utilization. Using various multivariate statistical methods and data mining techniques, we classified the skin types based on the skin-specific values, determined the relationship between skin type and lifestyle, and accordingly sorted the subjects into clusters. Logistic regression analysis revealed gender-related differences in the skin; therefore, separate analyses were performed for males and females. Using the Gaussian Mixture Modeling (GMM) technique, we classified the subjects based on skin type (two male and four female). Using the ANOVA and decision tree techniques, we attempted to characterize the relationship between each skin type and the lifestyles of the subjects. Menstruation, eating habits, stress, and smoking were identified as the major factors affecting the skin.
