Boehncke et al. suggested that decorative cosmetics can improve the quality of life (QOL) of skin diseases. But dermatologists sometimes discourage female acne patients from applying make-up since decorative cosmetics are considered one of the aggravating factors for acne eruptions. The purpose of this study is to assess whether make-up application interferes with acne treatments and how QOL changes when the make-up items are designed for acne patients and used in order to disguise acne eruptions. Eighteen female acne patients were trained by a make-up artist and advised to apply acne-designed basic and decorative cosmetics for 2 to 4 weeks while their acne was appropriately treated. The acne-severity and QOL of patients were assessed before and after the study. The results revealed that the number of acne eruptions decreased even though patients were applying make-up. The QOL scores of Skindex-16, GHQ30 and anxiety state index greatly improved. Our results suggest that dermatologists should encourage acne patients to utilize appropriate make-up to improve their QOL.
伯恩克等人认为，装饰性化妆品可以改善皮肤病患者的生活质量（QOL）。但皮肤科医生有时会劝阻女性痤疮患者化妆，因为装饰性化妆品被认为是痤疮爆发的加重因素之一。本研究的目的是评估化妆是否会干扰痤疮治疗，以及当化妆品专为痤疮患者设计并用于掩盖痤疮爆发时，生活质量会如何变化。18名女性痤疮患者由一名化妆师进行培训，并被建议在适当治疗痤疮的同时，使用专为痤疮患者设计的基础和装饰性化妆品2至4周。在研究前后对患者的痤疮严重程度和生活质量进行评估。结果显示，即使患者在化妆，痤疮爆发的次数也减少了。Skindex - 16、GHQ30和焦虑状态指数的生活质量得分有了很大提高。我们的结果表明，皮肤科医生应该鼓励痤疮患者使用合适的化妆品来提高他们的生活质量。
