Face skin wrinkles are folds or creases that form under the skin layer. The process of forming skin wrinkles is not known, but there are intrinsic and extrinsic factors that can affect the formation of skin wrinkles. This study aims to determine whether there is any correlation between the amount of drinking water consumption and sebum levels with the level of facial skin wrinkles. This study used observational analytic with a cross-sectional study design method, with 66 respondents as female congregants from the GerejaBatakKaroProtestan, age between 50-60 years. Before the skin examination, the respondents measured the water consumption in one day with a 500 mL drinking bottle for 3 consecutive days than record the results. In this study, DermoprimeViso was used as a skin analyzer to determine the level of sebum and the level of facial skin wrinkles of the respondents. Besides, Spearman and Kruskal Wallis were used for statistical assessment purposes. The study results found that there are significant correlations between the amount of drinking water consumption and sebum levels with the level of skin wrinkles.
