“…Rexbye et al reported that a youthful facial appearance correlates with prolonged survival and that several environmental factors are associated with facial aging [5]. Furthermore, it has been known that skin conditions, such as dermatitis or skin rash, impact our psychological and physical functions in daily life [6] [7]. Lifestyles that prevent facial skin aging therefore lead to overall improvement in one's health [8] [9].…”

Keishibukuryogankayokuinin (KBY) is a traditional Japanese herbal medicine widely used to treat skin pigmentation. The scientific basis for its use is, however, unclear, and studies evaluating its mechanism and effectiveness are sparse. In this study, we compared the tyrosinase inhibitory effects of KBY and Keishibukuryogan (KB, which has the same composition of KBY, except Coix Seed [CS]) and CS under exposure to UV radiation as well as under non-exposure conditions. Neonatal human epidermal melanocytes obtained from a darkly pigmented donor were used. These cells were cultured in a final concentration of 500 μg/ml or 1000 μg/ml, to which KBY, KB, and CS were added. After incubation for 72 h, cells were stained with Fontana-Masson stain and counted. Tyrosinase activity was measured by its dopa oxidase activity, and tyrosinase expression was estimated using real-time PCR. For UV radiation, cells were exposed to UVB radiation for 90 s per day for 3 days. Under non-exposure conditions, tyrosinase activity significantly increased with both KBY and KB but significantly decreased with CS, regardless of the concentration. In addition, tyrosinase expression significantly decreased but only with KBY at both concentrations. Under UV radiation exposure, tyrosinase activity significantly increased with KBY and KB at both concentrations while tyrosinase expression significantly decreased with KBY and KB; a significant increase was, however, observed with CS at both concentrations. These results suggest that taking KBY after sunburn is effective against skin pigmentation, and the combination of KB and CS is useful for skin depigmentation.

“…This issue of the BJD includes an important paper on the role of attachment style and its influence on how patients cope with skin conditions. There are very few studies on this topic in dermatology and the work by Krasuska et al 1 on the role of adult attachment and coping offers an interesting contribution. The study describes how the two dimensions of attachment orientation, avoidance and anxiety, can affect adjustment to skin conditions and lead to poorer health outcomes.…”

“…6 Early life experiences with caregivers lead to variations in the attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance, and as we have seen, this can ultimately affect how we adjust to skin conditions. Krasuska et al 1 suggest that insecure attachment affects psychological adjustment negatively, which can result in higher appearance-related distress and poorer quality of life. The results of the study link insecure attachment to poorer coping strategies, resulting in poorer outcomes.…”
