| Résumé : |
So, altogether a number of claims for the nails can be objectively measured. The effect of nail hardeners, nail polish and the properties of various types of artificial nails can be easily demonstrated with the new Nail StrainStress Meter. Other claims could be restructuringand re-densifying of the nails by certain food supplements.
Projective products could be evaluated by measuring the evaporation rate of the water. Also, the TOWL measurement could be used to show that nail polish remover, the glue from an artificial nail or other aesthetic nail treatments do not damagethe nail.
Fields of application for the assessment of nail gloss and colour are obvious, and not only restricted to the evaluation of applied nail polish. Such measurement can also be used to show the effects of withening products and mechanical polish.
Even in medical conditions like nail fungus, the measurement of nail thickness could give an indication of the effect of treatment with anti-fungal medication. As also other skin diseases can extend to the nails, the oblective measurement of the nail condition can be used to offer additionalinformation about the overall improvement by medical treatment.
And why not try to test whether my anti-ageing hand cream does not also improve the condition of my fingernails? There are no limits to new claims created around nail care that can be proven with these new methods. |
