We decided to hold this event while working with beauty experts from various fields to consider what kind of services would be pleasing to the elderly and their families. The biggest reason for elderly people to incorporate beauty into self-care is that they can easily do it at home whenever they want, and they can feel changes through their own sense of touch and vision. At the test event, we found that by touching your skin with your own hands and performing a facial treatment, you could feel your skin becoming softer and firmer. ”, you can revive the joy of self-care and a sense of youthfulness. In fact, over 98% of test event participants said, “I would like to do this again” or “I would like to continue.” ■It is also expected to prevent dementia in the elderly.

In addition, by incorporating photography into the event, it can be used as a means of “care for family members” and “a fun way to end your life.” While opportunities for elderly people to go out and see each other have decreased due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is a great opportunity for the elderly to be able to see a lively and healthy face up close, and to leave behind a photo of themselves with a healthy expression. , it is an event that the families who support them can also feel the value.
