In the early years, Taiwanese were influenced by Japanese hot spring culture and world leading. Their preference to hot springs was shown visibly. The type of hot springs in Taiwan is sodium carbonate springs mostly. This type of hot spring does not have the stinky smell of sulfur and is not like other hot springs with muddy water. It is odorless and colorless. It’s said that this type of hot spring has benefits to skin. It has great effects on skin moisturizing and whitening, so that it is known as Beauty Spa. In recent years, the research has shown that sodium carbonate spring can absorb the free radicals and anti inflammation. There have been some correlative researches in other countries. To refer to the spa studies of skin care in France, the rich hot spring resources and well- skilled cosmetic techniques are the advantages of product development and skill support to develop the unique spa skin care products in Taiwan.
The Tainan council plans to develop a elaborately and low density country-style tourism hot spring in an uncultivated wild land located in Guei-Dan region, Nan-Si. It will appear in a cultural and historic look and natural scenery in a distinguishing feature. Guei-Dan hot spring is hydrocarbonate spring. The property of Guei-Dan hot spring is linked up with the masks which were the mostly used cosmetic product by survey in Taiwan to develop into spa masks. Using this as a pretext , we evaluate the effect of Guei-Dan spa masks on facial skin. It not only promotes the multi uses of Guei-Dan hot spring, but also promotes some other spa industries.
Two different types of masks are used in this study. One is made of RO water, and the other is made of hydrogen carbonate spring water. These masks must pass the test of DOH make up products and also the sensitive skin rest. Then it is applied on face as facial treatment. By using two groups of facial mask , group A(RO water) and Group B(hydrogen arbonate spring water),to evaluate the benefits of these masks. 10 people are involved in this experiment. They are divided into 2 groups (five people each) randomly. All people will practice the mask examination for 20 minutes every 2 weeks for 4 weeks.
The research shows that the prepared mask which complies with a standard of DOH, can be used on face and eyelids. The test result on sensitive skin is zero. It shows that the mask does not cause the red and swollen skin and the allergy.
The test result of group A on skin types only shows its moisturizing effect, on the other hand, the test result of group B shows better effect on moisturize. In flexibility, group B shows slowly progress in time increase in section 1,3, and 4. In the test of spot, it also shows the decrease of spots and weaken. Both groups show no differences in controlling pores and wrinkles. In conclusion, hydrogen carbonate spring water has effects of moisturize, improving flexibility and whitening. It is worth to consider in cosmetic industries.
