INTRODUCTION
Facial skin is a sensitive part of the human body compared to other parts, so it requires special care
and top priority because the layer of facial skin is anatomically thinner compared to other parts of the
body, such as the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet (Labellapansa et al., 2018). Skin
problems increase with age, so skin care needs to be done to maintain the elasticity and moisture of
facial skin (As’ary et al., 2022; Neighbor et al., 2022). Facial skin care is important skincare so it must
be prioritized to keep facial skin healthy. An attractive appearance in women can be seen in healthy
and bright white skin (Kumarahadi et al., 2020). Facial skincare that is done correctly and according to
your skin type will result in skin that looks healthy and bright. Anatomically, the skin is the outermost
part of the human body, wrapped in skin. The skin has the function of protecting the body from

exposure to sunlight which contains ultraviolet rays that can affect the surface of the skin. Apart from
that, the important role of the skin is also as a sense of touch, preventing dehydration, regulating body
temperature, and giving aesthetics to a person's appearance so that it looks attractive, especially on
facial skin (As’ary et al., 2022; Rahmawaty, 2020; Wulandari, 2019). The three layers of skin consist of
the outer layer called the epidermis, the middle layer called the dermis, and the inner layer called the
hypodermis. There are layers of the epidermis, namely from the bottom upwards, starting with the
basal stratum, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and at the outermost stratum
corneum there are protein lipids and water which function to maintain water release as a skin barrier.
The dermis layer is rich in blood vessels, nervous tissue, melanocyte cells, mast cells, macrophage cells,
lymphocyte cells and elastin and collagen fibers, fat glands and sweat glands, sensory receptors for
mechanoreceptors and thermoreceptors, nociceptors, mechanoreceptors. The hypodermis layer
consists of lipid cells associated with elastic fibers and collagen fibers (Neighbor et al., 2022; Yuniarsih
et al., 2021). Aging will change the morphology of all anatomical components, including facial skin
which affects all layers of the skin. Facial skin is the part that is exposed to more sunlight than other
areas (Kim et al., 2019). Exposure to the surrounding environment will provide interactions that can
disrupt the balance of water levels in the skin and have the effect of disrupting skin moisture. Exposure
such as temperature, air humidity, and ultraviolet light will affect the water content in the skin which
will affect skin moisture. Low skin moisture levels cause the skin to become dry, whereas well-
maintained skin moisture will make the skin smoother (As’ary et al., 2022; Wulandari, 2019).
It is necessary to use natural ingredients that are around us which can be useful for healthy facial
skin, such as honey. Honey is produced by honey bees in the form of a thick liquid derived from flower
nectar. Honey is often used to beautify facial skin and soften facial skin. The use of honey for facial skin
care is made in the form of masks, soap, shampoo, body scrubs, and lotions because honey is a natural
ingredient intended to moisturize facial skin. The antioxidant content in honey contains lots of vitamins
C, K, B6, B2, B1, flavonoids, amino acids, and alpha hydrolytic acid which are useful for providing
moisture and elasticity to the skin. Using a honey mask is an alternative option for providing natural
nutrition to the face which can be used to treat and restore facial skin disorders. Honey is a natural
ingredient that can soften and beautify the skin. The antioxidant and vitamin C content in honey can
have the effect of tightening the skin, shrinking pores on the skin, and making facial skin firm (Budiono
et al., 2022; Sinulingga et al., 2018; Tanggasari & Septianingsih, 2023).
Facial acupressure is a beauty treatment method that is carried out by massaging the facial area
with emphasis on certain meridian points which are useful for tightening facial muscles, removing
wrinkles on the face, making the face bright, and relaxing the facial muscles. This face acupressure
begins by massaging the forehead, cheeks, and then the neck and shoulders. Massage for 5-10 minutes
which is carried out according to the anatomical structure of the facial region and added emphasis on
the meridian points will provide smooth blood flow and smooth facial skin, look more youthful, and
facial muscles feel more relaxed (Pardede, 2022; Surtiningsih et al., 2022). Face acupressure through
gentle massage on the face has the effect of relaxing the facial muscles and preventing the reduction
of wrinkles on the face (NWO, Ceria et al., 2021; Soekanto et al., 2022). If facial acupressure is done
regularly, the dead skin cells will be removed from the exfoliation process on the facial skin, making
the skin healthy and bright (Surtiningsih et al., 2022). In previous research on the effectiveness of facial
acupuncture and acupuncture on facial acupressure, the muscle appeared more supple and elastic
with facial acupuncture therapy (Soekanto et al., 2022). By continuing this research, the aim is to
determine the effectiveness of the combination of facial acupressure and honey, using a honey mask
on facial skin moisture. The importance of this research is by combining facial acupressure and honey
mask, which is a natural nutritional ingredient that can be used to provide treatment and recovery for
facial skin disorders and is efficacious in smoothing and beautifying facial skin and the novelty in this
research is by combining facial acupressure and honey on moisturize the facial skin and assess its
effectiveness by looking at any changes in moisture starting from before facial acupressure, after facial
acupressure and after being given a combination of facial acupressure and Haney's clover honey mask.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
This research has been recommended as ethically sound with number 84/SLE/FK/2024, using a non-
parametric analytical experimental research design, with a research sample of 30 respondents,
conducting the research in April May 2024 at the Wijaya Surabaya clinic and in a doctor's practice.
This research method uses Mann-Whitney and IBM SPSS statistical software, then continues with the
Games-Howell difference test (α= 0.05) to see the differences in three treatments, with treatment
details as follows: first treatment, no treatment at all then a moisture test was carried out, the second
treatment was given a facial acupressure treatment and continued with a moisture test and the third
treatment was given a combination of facial acupressure and a clover honey mask and a moisture test
was carried out(Adiputra et al., 2021; Fadli, 2021; Notoatmodjo, 2012). The inclusion criteria for this
study were women aged 40 - 50 years who had no history of allergies, were healthy and had no facial
abnormalities or defects, had never had facial treatment, were willing not to use moisturizer on the
face being treated, and were willing to take part in this study until completion, and The exclusion
criteria for this study were women having a history of allergies to honey(Astuti et al., 2018; Masluhiya
AF & Fidiastuti, 2019; Soekanto et al., 2022). Each respondent received treatment before facial
acupressure, giving facial acupressure and a combination of facial acupressure with honey. In this
study, treatment was carried out twice a week and carried out for 4 weeks, a total of 8 treatments
were carried out. Data were taken from photos before treatment and photos after treatment, and
facial skin moisture was measured using a Skin Moisture Analyzer.

The facial acupressure performed on the correspondent has steps for the acupressure face in
the following order: First, clean the face with cleansing soap, cleansing followed by rinsing with clean
water so that the dirt stuck to the pores of the face will be removed, the second step, is to apply
pressure on the face at each point for 1 2 minutes and done repeatedly for up to 15 minutes
according to the acupuncture points, pressure is applied with the first location of the piercing on the
forehead around the eyebrows, and then the second part in the area around the eyes and cheeks, nose
and around the ears, the third part around the upper jaw and the fourth around the lower jaw, and
next to the edge of the lower ear. After completing the piercing, continue with clover honey which is
spread thinly evenly on the face and continued by attaching the compressor mask on top of the honey
smear to form a honey mask (NWO, Ceria et al., 2021; Smith et al., 2020; von Arx et al., 2018). The
piercing area can be seen in Figure 2 below.
Figure 2. Face acupressure area (1) Frontalis; (2) Pre-orbitalis; (3) Upper mandible (4) Lower mandible (Smith et
al., 2020; von Arx et al., 2018)
In Figure 2, the area where the piercing is carried out is in the area (1) the frontalis of the forehead
which is directed superiorly, (2) the pre-orbital area around the eye where the piercing is directed
laterally and circularly towards the edge of the zygomaticum, (3) the upper mandible continues
towards the right maxilla and left maxilla circularly reach the edge of the inferior zygomatic, (4) the
lower mandible continues towards the inferior edge of the mandible and continues towards the edge
of the lower ear. This piercing, if done regularly, will provide elasticity to the facial muscles and will
have the effect of eliminating wrinkles in the facial area(Barrett, 2005; Donoyama et al., 2012; Smith
et al., 2020; Yun et al., 2013).
Figure 3. Tool for measuring skin moisture (Skin Moisture Analyzer)
In figure 3 Skin Moisture Analyzer is a tool for measuring skin moisture with humidity values entering
3 criteria, the criteria for dry skin are shown on a scale of 0 35%, normal skin on a scale of 36 45%,
and moist skin on a scale of 46 100%. How to use: Apply directly to facial skin and the moisture value
will be visible on the skin analyzer after 4-5 seconds.

In Table 1, the resulting scale for measuring skin moisture uses parameters, namely dry skin on a scale
of 0 35%, secondly normal skin on a scale of 36 45%, and thirdly moist skin on a scale of 46 100%,
using the Skin Moisture Analyzer tool. A total of 30 correspondents each received the same three
treatments, in treatment one (before facial acupressure) the lowest value of facial moisture was 10%
and the highest was 33%, this included dry skin criteria, then in the second treatment, namely after
facial acupressure, the humidity increased by the lowest result was 25% (normal skin) and the highest
was 56% (including moist skin criteria), even after receiving the third treatment the lowest moisture
result was 42% (including normal skin criteria) and the highest was 61% (including moist skin criteria).
The higher the moisture content on the facial skin, the smoother the facial skin will be, and the
moisture of the facial skin will be maintained (Herawan et al., 2022; Jap et al., 2023; Virgita &
Krisnawati, 2014). Percentage results can be seen in Graph 3 below.

The effect of giving treatment to the three groups obtained a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), which means
there was an effect of giving treatment on skin moisture. To see the differences between treatment
groups, you can see the Games-Howell test in Table 4.
In Table 4, the measurement results show differences in treatment between the first
treatment which was given no treatment, the second treatment which was given only facial
acupressure treatment, and the third treatment which was given facial acupressure as well as honey
(clover honey) and then analyzed using the Games-Howell difference test. The first treatment showed
different skin moisture from the second treatment and the third treatment with a p-value of 0.000
(p<0.05). Meanwhile, the second treatment compared to the third treatment showed a difference in
skin moisture levels, namely with a p-value of 0.000. The third treatment, namely a combination of
facial acupressure and honey (clover honey), showed a significantly higher level of moisture compared
to the second group that received facial acupressure alone or the first group that was not given
treatment.

DISCUSSION
The results of the research measured humidity which was carried out 3 times, all measurements
were carried out on the left cheek, on 30 research samples. The first measurement was carried out on
30 correspondents who did not receive treatment, only moisture was measured. The results of 30
facial skin moisture measurements on each of these correspondents were found to be 100%, including
the criteria for dry skin with an average humidity of 22%, with results between 10% -37%. The second
measurement, after facial acupressure treatment for 15 minutes, facial skin moisture was measured,
the results showed that 6 people had dry skin criteria (20%), 15 people had normal skin criteria (50%)
and 9 people had moist skin criteria (30%). In the third treatment measurement, namely after receiving
a combination of facial acupressure and Clover honey, the results were 6.6% including normal skin
criteria, namely 2 people and 93.4% including moist skin criteria, namely 28 people.
In the first treatment, the first time compared with the second treatment until after receiving 8
treatments, the results of changes in facial skin moisture which were previously included in the criteria
for dry skin increased to normal skin after getting facial acupressure, this shows that facial acupressure
can effectively increase skin moisture. face. Facial acupressure that is done regularly will stimulate
blood circulation in the dermis area and regenerate skin cells to form collagen which provides
relaxation to muscle tension and provides freshness conditions in the facial muscles because it
stimulates the flow of chi in the meridian area which is connected to blood circulation
points(Masluhiya AF & Fidiastuti, 2019; Pardede, 2022; Surtiningsih et al., 2022; Virgita & Krisnawati,
2014).
The results of the third treatment, the original correspondent who had the lowest moisture
percentage, namely 25%, after receiving the first combination of facial acupressure and honey,
experienced an increase in skin moisture to 49%. Likewise, the correspondent with the highest
humidity the second time, namely 56%, after the third time also experienced an increase in humidity
to 61%. These results show that skin moisture is influenced by the water content in the stratum
corneum, the presence of fluid that flows in and out of the stratum corneum. There are endogenous
fluids in the stratum corneum and exogenous fluids. Endogenous fluid occurs due to a diffusion process

and the secretions of sweat glands in the dermis diffuse to the surface of the epidermis. Exogenous
fluids occur due to high humidity obtained from the surrounding environment. Skin moisture is
influenced by the presence of keratin cell bonds in the stratum corneum (Azizza & Kustianti, 2020;
Imani, 2022; Imasari & Emasari, 2022; Kevin et al., 2018).
Keratin cells bind water content and form bonds with elastin fibers which influence skin
moisture. The more water that is bound, the more moisture the skin will maintain. Dry skin will form
deep cracks due to the lack of binding of keratin cells with water, the skin will look dry and cracked.
Using a mask on facial skin functions to improve circulation and oxygenation of the skin and the mask
removes dead skin cells, smoothing the skin and shrinking facial pores so that the face becomes
smoother. Honey has a function as a natural moisturizer, honey is produced by bees which synthesize
flower nectar which is rich in flavonoids, amino acids, alpha hydroxy acid, vitamin K, C, vitamins B1, B2,
B6 which have the effect of making the skin supple, elastic and increasing moisture. on the skin (Khan
et al., 2018; Rahayu and Mutimatul, 2013).

Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka (library research), pengumpulan data dengan cara mencari sumber dan merkontruksi dari berbagai sumber seperti buku, jurnal, dan riset-riset yang sudah ada. Hasilnya bahwa penelitian kualitatif dilakukan dengan desain penelitian yang temuan-temuannya tidak didapatkan melalui prosedur statistik atau dalam bentuk hitungan, melainkan bertujuan mengungkapkan fenomena secara holistik-kontekstual dengan pengumpulan data dari latar/setting alamiah dan memanfaatkanpeneliti sebagai instrument kunci. Penelitian kualiatif memiliki sifat deskriptif dan cenderung menggunakan analisis pendekatan induktif, sehingga proses dan makna berdasarkan perspektif subyek lebih ditonjolkan dalam penelitian kualitatif ini. Desain penelitian kualitatif ini dapat dijadikan sebagai metode dalam penelitian, karena desainnya dijabarkan secara komprehensif yang mudah untuk dipahami oleh kalangan peneliti dan akademisi. The purpose of this article is to understand the design of qualitative research methods. The method used is library research, data collection by searching for sources, and reconstruction from various sources such as books, journals, and existing researches. The result is that qualitative research is conducted with a research design where the findings are not obtained through statistical procedures or in the form of calculations, but rather aim to reveal phenomena in a holistic-contextual manner by collecting data from natural settings and utilizing the researcher as a key instrument. Qualitative research has a descriptive nature and tends to use an inductive approach analysis so that the process and meaning based on the subject's perspective are emphasized more in this qualitative research. This qualitative research design can be used as a method in research because the design is described in a comprehensive manner that is easy to understand by researchers and academics.

Penuaan kulit merupakan proses alami yang tidak dapat dihindari, yang ditandai dengan keriput dan pigmentasi pada kulit. Sejak dahulu masyarakat Indonesia sudah memanfaatkan tumbuhan sebagai bahan kosmetik dan pengobatan penyakit kulit dimana kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap senyawa aktif dari bahan alam relatif lebih aman dibandingkan senyawa-senyawa kimia sintetik. Keanekaragaman hayati yang besar di Indonesia merupakan salah satu faktor pendukung pengembangan produk kosmetik dan perawatan kulit dari bahan alam. Salah satu contoh kosmetik adalah masker wajah, pemakaian masker wajah bermanfaat untuk melembutkan kulit, membuka pori-pori yang tersumbat, dan membersihkan sisa kosmetik yang tidak bisa dihilangkan menggunakan pembersih biasa. Selain itu, pemakaian masker wajah yang teratur juga dapat membantu mencegah penuaan dini dan mengurangi munculnya keriput dan garis-garis halus. Beberapa tanaman yang biasa digunakan sebagai bahan alami masker kulit wajah yaitu bengkoang, buah naga merah, kacang hijau, buah semangka, aloe vera, Madu, Piper longum , Akar manis, Tomat, Kersen. Review jurnal ini bertujuan untuk memberi informasi mengenai beberapa tanaman bahan alam yang memiliki kandungan senyawa fitokimia dan dapat digunakan sebagai bahan masker kulit wajah.

Perawatan kulit merupakan hal yang sangat diagungkan pada masa sekarang. Tidak hanya wanita namun perawatan kulit kini mulai merambah pada pria. Memiliki kulit yang cerah, putih, bebas jerawat serta bebas dari minyak berlebih merupakan idaman bagi semua kaum. Sebelum dikenalnya perawatan kulit, istilah makeup lebih pertama populer dikarenakan hasil nyata yang terlihat secara jelas dalam waktu yang singkat. Namun dunia makeup yang senantiasa memberikan perbaikan bagi penggunanya dengan cara menutupi atau mempoles bagian tertentu dari tubuh seseorang kini lambat laun mulai ditinggalkan dan berganti dengan perawatan kulit. Hal ini dikarenakan banyaknya bermunculan penelitian dan opini bahwa perawatan kulit lebih menyehatkan dan hasil yang didapat lebih bertahan dalam jangka waktu yang lebih panjang dibanding makeup. Banyaknya variasi produk perawatan kulit yang bermunculan menimbulkan kontroversi dan perilaku konsumtif pada penggunanya. Hal ini juga tidak terlepas dari dampak yang terasa setelah penggunaan perawatan kulit dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Artikel ini dibuat untuk membahas dampak yang timbul dari penggunaan perawatan kulit terhadap skin barrier atau lapisan kulit terluar yang menjaga kulit secara alami dari berbagai macam faktor luar yang dapat merusak kulit.
