The purpose of this study was to examine influence of back massage upon middle-aged women's facial skin status and stress relaxation. It surveyed the analysis on questionnaire, stress rating table, salivary α-amylase, and skin health conditions(oil, water, pores, roughness, horny substance, wrinkle, pigment, elasticity). As a result, a rise in water just with massage treatment led to having shown the statistically significant difference. Thus, just massage operation is considered to have influence upon facial skin status. As a result of measuring a change in salivary α-amylase before and after massage treatment, the more rise in frequence of back massage treatment led to the more reduction in figure of salivary α-amylase. Thus, the back massage is considered to have effect on stress relaxation. In a change of physical and mental stress, the effect of stress relaxation is considered definitely before and after back massage treatment. The back massage could be known to be more effective in experimental groupⅠ than experimental groupⅡ in a change of adult middle-aged women's physical and psychological stress, in subjective satisfaction, in a change of salivary α-amylase, in a change of oil and water, and in a change of skin status. Especially, in a change of physical and psychological stress, in subjective satisfaction, in a change of oil and water, and in a change of skin status, there was a little difference after treatment of back massage. However, trying to see effects of change level in skin status, the necessity is considered to be recommended the back massage care program for over 8 weeks in the treatment period. It is considered to be likely necessary for a follow-up research, which closely examines age-based skin status, weight distribution, body composition, and a change in body type by mobilizing diverse methods through diversifying age level given back massage or through dividing it by skin type.
