- Abstract: Background: Ageing is accompanied by physical changes, both at the physiological and appearance levels. The way people perceive these changes have important consequences on general health and quality of life (QoL). This study analysed the relationship between sociodemographic variables, psychological variables, use of antiageing cosmetic products/aesthetic treatments, and QoL. Methods: This cross‐sectional study included a sample of 271 women, aged between 25 and 70 years, users of antiageing cosmetic products and/or aesthetic services. Participants were assessed on psychological morbidity (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), appearance schemes (Appearance Schemas Inventory – Revised), self‐esteem (Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale), perfectionism (Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale), self‐perceptions of ageing (Brief Aging Perceptions Questionnaire), and QoL (SF‐12v2). Results: Being older and having a higher household income was associated with better QoL. The use of facial firming products, hair colouring products, and sunscreen was also associated with better QoL. Psychological morbidity and perfectionism contributed negatively to QoL, while household income contributed positively. Ageing perceptions moderated the relationship between self‐esteem and QoL. Conclusion: According to the findings, intervention programs to reduce psychological morbidity, increase self‐esteem, promote more adaptive patterns of perfectionism, and recognize the role of ageAbstract: Background: Ageing is accompanied by physical changes, both at the physiological and appearance levels.

Conclusion: According to the findings, intervention programs to reduce psychological morbidity, increase self‐esteem, promote more adaptive patterns of perfectionism, and recognize the role of age perception are needed to improve women's QoL. The perceived influence of the usage of cosmetic products to prevent/minimize aging signs should be further explored. Résumé: Contexte: Le vieillissement s'accompagne de changements physiques, tant au niveau physiologique qu'au niveau de l'apparence. La façon dont les gens perçoivent ces changements a des conséquences importantes sur la santé générale et la qualité de vie (QdV). Cette étude a analysé la relation entre les variables sociodémographiques, les variables psychologiques, l'utilisation de produits cosmétiques anti‐âge/soins esthétiques et la QdV. Méthodes: Cette étude transversale a inclus un échantillon de 271 femmes, âgées de 25 à 70 ans, utilisatrices de produits cosmétiques anti‐âge et/ou de soins esthétiques. Les participants ont été évalués sur la morbidité psychologique (Hospit Anxiety and Depression Scale), les schémas d'apparence (Appearance Schemas Inventory ‐ Revised), l'estime de soi (Roenberg Self‐Esteem Scale), le perfectionnisme (Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale), l'auto‐perception du vieillissement (Brief Questionnaire sur les perceptions du vieillissement) et QdV (SF‐12v2). Résultats: Être plus âgé et avoir un revenu du ménage plus élevé était associé à une meilleure qualité de vie. L'utilisation de produits raffermissants pour le visage, de produits de coloration capillaire et de soins solaires était également associée à une meilleure qualité de vie. La morbidité psychologique et le perfectionnisme ont contribué négativement à la qualité de vie, tandis que le revenu du ménage a contribué positivement. Les perceptions du vieillissement ont modéré la relation entre l'estime de soi et la qualité de vie. Conclusion: Selon les résultats, des programmes d'intervention visant à réduire la morbidité psychologique, à augmenter l'estime de soi, à promouvoir des schémas de perfectionnisme plus adaptatifs et à reconnaître le rôle de la perception de l'âge sont nécessaires pour améliorer la qualité de vie des femmes. L'influence de l'utilisation de produits cosmétiques pour prévenir/minimiser les signes du vieillissement doit être davantage perçue. … (more)
