Summary The POLA Research of Beauty & Culture Institute was established in 1976 to engage in research into beauty and, in particular, multifaceted investigations into “cosmetic culture” through the lenses of humanities and the social sciences. The Institute conducts research into the lifestyles and makeup-related attitudes/behavior of contemporary women and makes the reports of such research publicly available through the POLA Cosmetic Culture Information Center and its website.

This survey targeted a total of 200 women, half of which were aged 25 to 34, while the other half was in the 50 to 59 age group at the time of the survey’s administration. The survey contains questions about the women’s awareness of "aging."

This survey investigated women’s current feelings about the aging of the facial skin, their anxiety about future aging, and their experiences using beauty techniques for aging care.
