Experimental program was held for 30 minutes each time, once a week for eight weeks. Facial skin condition (moisture, sebum, roughness, pore, wrinkle, pigmentation) were analysed during the experiment. A significant increase of skin moisture was found in experimental group (p<.001). Also significant decrease of skin sebum, roughness, pore, wrinkle and pigmentation was found in experimental group (p<.001).
