Résumé : |
The application technique used for a cosmetic procedure is, besides the cosmetic products themselves, an important factor in effectively maintaining healthy facial and body skin. However, evaluation of cosmetic application procedures remains technically challenging owing to the subtle motions involved, which cannot be precisely detected by shooting a video. To overcome this difficulty, we developed a wearable sensor system to estimate the finger contact force as well as measure the subtle motion of the fingertip without a covering finger pad. We evaluated the differences in the cosmetic application procedure between general users and professional beauty consultants using the sensor. The results suggested that the intensity of the force applied by general users to the skin covers a much broader range than that of the professionals and that the finger activity of professionals was more rhythmic and of smaller amplitude than that of general users. The cosmetic application procedures of general users alter instruction in the cosmetic application procedure by professional beauty consultants were also evaluated. The results suggested that the amplitude of finger activity can be readily taught, although the contact force was relatively difficult to teach without showing one's own contact force quantitatively. These data show that the sensor system can be used to effectively evaluate the difference between individual cosmetic application procedures. In addition, we used the wearable sensor to teach the face massage technique. The results indicate that the cosmetic application procedure can be sufficiently imparted using the sensor. This sensor system is useful not only for measuring cosmetic application procedures quantitatively, but also for teaching cosmetic treatments such as skin care massage and makeup skills. |
