Acne vulgaris is a skin disease caused by inflammation of the polysebaceous follicles (skin oil glands). Acne, if left untreated, can lead to depression and a crisis of confidence for the sufferer. Acne vulgaris can occur at any age due to several factors, one of which is food. This study aimed to analyze the level of acne vulgaris, determine the consumption pattern of fast food, and the relationship between fast food and the incidence of acne (acne vulgaris) in students. This type of research is analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample was 52 people using a consecutive sampling method. Data analysis used univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with a chi-square test. The results showed that the highest acne vulgaris was in the moderate category, namely 23 people (44.2%). Fast food consumption patterns were in a bad category, namely 22 people (42.3%), so there was a relationship with a significance value of 0.018 < 0 0.05 between fast food consumption behavior and the incidence of acne (acne vulgaris) in students. It was concluded that the highest incidence of acne (acne vulgaris) was in the moderate category, and the highest consumption pattern of fast food was in the bad category.

Abstract

The peel-off gel mask is a type of mask that is easy and practical to use. Besides that, it can also hydrate the skin well. Spinach contains chemicals that are good for skin health including vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, and flavonoids. The purpose is to determine the feasibility of peel-off gel masks with snapper spinach leaf extract in terms of laboratory tests (vitamin A, vitamin C, flavonoids, homogeneity, pH, drying time), organoleptic tests (color, aroma, stickiness, and texture), and hedonic test (favourability level). This type of research is an experiment with quantitative analysis. The independent variable is snapper spinach leaves. The dependent variable is the content of vitamin A, vitamin C, flavonoids, homogeneity, pH, and drying time contained in the peel-off gel mask. Data analysis techniques are observation and documentation. The formulations used are X1 (1%), X2 (3%), and X3 (5%). The results showed that in the peel-off gel mask of spinach leaf extract, there was 9568,0000 ppm (9.57%) of vitamin A, 0.088% vitamin C, (+) flavonoids, the X1 and X2 formulations were homogeneous, while the X3 formulation not homogeneous, pH 4.86, and average drying time of 20 minutes. The best formulation in terms of organoleptic and hedonic tests is X2 (3%) quite colorful (55.56%), quite flavourful (66.67%), sticky (66.67%), smooth (100%), likes (66,67%). Thus, the peel-off gel mask with snapper spinach leaf extract is suitable as an aging skin treatment.
