The sociocultural pressure towards women's body image is one of the problems that today afflicts much of the female population. It is a reality that society exerts a strong pressure on body image, particularly on women.
The main objective of this study is to analyze the self-perception and self-esteem of people who apply a facial cosmetic. A convenience sample of 150 participants is estimated, who can be randomly included in one of the three groups with different interventions.
The aging process is something inherent in all people, causing biological and structural changes in our organism, being the skin the one that shows the first signs of this aging. Being healthy is no longer a desire and a natural aspiration of every person, but a kind of tyranny that has turned health into a duty that, according to the wellness industry, can only be satisfied through the consumption of certain commercial products and services. The cosmetic industry feeds us with false beliefs where perfection is something achievable, but many women do not want false promises from the cosmetic industry when they are aware that they have wrinkles. Such practices jeopardize physical health and impact mental health.
IIn line with this evolution, the researchers propose this study that suggests a relationship between the use of cosmetics, psychological well-being, stress and self-esteem of the people who consume them.

| Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) | The Rosenberg self-esteem scale is a test with good psychometric properties, and is one of the most widely used tests for the evaluation of self-esteem in clinical practice and scientific research. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) is made up of 10 items that refer to self-respect and self-acceptance rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 (totally disagree) to 4 (totally agree). Items 1, 3, 4, 7, and 10 are positively worded, and items 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9 negatively. Each dimension is made up of 6 items that are rated on a 99-point scale ranging from 1 (totally disagree with the item) to 99 (totally agree with the item). The higher the score, the higher the self-esteem. | 3 minutes |
| Perceived Stress Scale | The "Perceived Stress Scale" (PSS), constructed in its original version, has been the instrument most frequently used to study the relationship between stress and psychological health, The questions refer to feelings and thoughts during the last month. In each case, respondents are asked how often they felt a certain way on a five-point scale ranging from 0 'never' to 4 'very often'. To calculate a total PSS score, the responses to the four positively stated items (items 4, 5, 7, and 8) must first be reversed (i.e., 0 => 4; 1 => 3; 2 => 2; 3 => 1 ; 4 => 0). Then the PSS score is obtained by adding all the elements. Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress. | 5 minutes |

| The abbreviated 5-factor mindfulness instrument FFMQ | The abbreviated 5-factor mindfulness instrument. The FFMQ is a self-report test made up of 39 items, which measures the general tendency to proceed with Mindfulness based on five skills: Observation, Description, Acting Consciously, Absence of Judgment and Absence of Reactivity. There are two patterns of scoring involved in the Five Facet Mindfulness Test: Direct Scoring - where the items are scored according to the Likert value (for example 1 would add a score of 1 and 4 adds a value of 4). Reverse Scoring - where we score the items backward (for example, 1 adds a score of 5, 5 adds a score of 1, 4 would mean a score of 2, and likewise). Summation of all the direct and reverse items adds up to the total value of the scale. The responses on the scale are made on a 5-point Likert scale, and the sum of the forward and reverse scoring items gives the total score. The five subscales of the test provide a meaningful estimate of how aware the respondent is at the moment. |
