About this study
Official title: Effects of a Combined Antioxidant Nutrition and Facial Exercise Program on Skin Quality and Wrinkle Severity in Middle-Aged Women
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week program combining facial muscle exercises and daily habit modification for improving skin quality and reducing wrinkle severity in middle-aged women. Participants will be randomly allocated to an intervention group receiving the structured program or to a control group maintaining their usual routine. Skin-related outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks using standardized objective measurements.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Facial Exercise and Daily Habit Modification ProgramBehavioural
A 12-week structured program consisting of facial muscle exercises combined with daily habit modification related to skin health
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| intervention group | Experimental | Participants in the intervention group will complete a 12-week structured facial exercise program combined with daily habit modification related to skin health Receives: Behavioral: Facial Exercise and Daily Habit Modification Program |
| control group | No intervention | Participants in the control group will maintain their usual daily routine and will not receive the structured facial exercise or daily habit modification program during the 12-week study period |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Wrinkle-Severity Reduction Index
Change in the mean bilateral crow's feet wrinkle depth (mm) from baseline to week 12, measured using Antera 3D. Three measurements will be obtained from each side, and the mean of the six measurements will be used as the participant-level value. Lower values indicate reduced wrinkle depth
Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks
