The pulses may be applied via one applicator or a plurality of applicators, and may be applied in one pattern or several patterns at various application sites. A method of providing tactile stimulation is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a wrinkle measurement apparatus and a wrinkle measurement method. The wrinkle measurement apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a surface direction compression part including first and second contact parts arranged at a preset gap while coming into close contact with the skin, so as to compress the skin in the direction of the surface thereof; and a wrinkle measuring part for measuring skin wrinkles in at least two states among pre-compression, mid-compression and post-compression.

An oil base skin care composition including squalane and a method for treating skin are disclosed. The method includes the step of individually displaying a plurality of visual skin guides to a consumer. Each of the visual skin guides includes a plurality of visual representations of a categorical skin condition. Each of the visual representations correspond to a severity score for the categorical skin condition on the visual skin guide. The method further includes correlating the severity score for each of the categorical skin conditions for each of the visual skin guides to the consumer's current skin condition. At least two target skin conditions from the plurality of categorical skin conditions are determined in response to the severity scores for each of the categorical skin conditions. At least one booster containing at least one active ingredient is correlated for treating each target skin condition.

A skin diagnosing device includes an optical unit including: an optical system that uses OCT; an optical mechanism to guide light from the optical unit to skin to scan the skin; a loading device to apply predetermined deformation energy to the skin; a control computation unit to compute tomographic distribution of predetermined status values relating to the skin by controlling driving of the loading device and the optical mechanism and processing optical interference signals output from the optical unit in response to the driving, to compute an evaluation value of the skin based on the tomographic distribution; and a display device to display the evaluation value of the skin. The control computation unit computes the evaluation value by computing mechanical characteristics and a blood flow condition of the skin as the status values and associating the mechanical characteristics and the blood flow condition at a cross-sectional position of the skin.

The present disclosure provides a device for evaluating a mechanical property of a material. The device comprises a sensing layer that has a contact surface for contacting a surface area of the material. The sensing layer has a property or dimension that is pressure sensitive. The device also comprises a detector arranged to detect electromagnetic radiation that propagates through at least the sensing layer. The device is arranged such that, when the contact surface of the sensing layer is in contact with the surface area of the material and a load is applied on at least a portion of the surface area of the material, the detected electromagnetic radiation can be used to determine stress within a portion of the sensing layer, the determined stress being indicative of the mechanical property of the material.

The invention provides a skin aging state assessment method and an electronic device. The method includes: acquiring a first image and a second image; acquiring a characteristic parameter of the first image and a characteristic parameter of the second image; acquiring an aging parameter according to the characteristic parameter of the first image and the characteristic parameter of the second image; and deciding an aging assessment result corresponding to the first image according to the aging parameter. The skin state detection method of the invention makes it possible to use two face images captured at different times to acquire the skin aging condition of the face images.

One variation of a method includes: accessing a skin type of a user; predicting a first set of locations occupied by the user during a first future time interval; based on historical ultraviolet irradiance data and the first future time interval, calculating a first predicted unprotected ultraviolet radiation exposure of the user during the first future time interval; calculating a maximum allowable ultraviolet radiation exposure for periods within the first future time interval based on the skin type of the user; calculating a first minimum sun protection factor predicted to reduce the first predicted unprotected ultraviolet radiation exposure to less than the maximum allowable ultraviolet radiation exposure; selecting a first sunscreen formula characterized by a first sun protection factor greater than the first minimum sun protection factor; and shipping the first volume of the first sunscreen formula to the user prior to the first future time interval.

Service can be offered free of charge and the cost of a skin condition measuring device can be reduced by effectively using data on the occasion of obtaining an analysis result by transmitting measurement data by the skin condition measuring device to a server of a company providing a service of analyzing the measurement data. When a request is made from a contractor client to acquire data registered in a measurement data database, authentication is executed based on a contractor ID input from the contractor client. Additionally, when the measurement data database is searched from a contractor database based on the contractor ID, a search level and an access level are obtained. The contractor client is permitted to search the measurement data database within a range of the search level and the access level.
