Adhesion Measurement by Tactile Sensor for Quantitative Evaluation of Stickiness of Skin

Abstract

Since stickiness of skin can cause skin diseases, it is necessary to deal with this problem by using basic cosmetics. However, excessive use of basic cosmetics can worsen adverse skin conditions. In addition, the optimal state of the skin after the use of basic cosmetics has not yet been quantified. In this study, we measured and examined the response to adhesive force using an ultra-compact tactile sensor, and then compared the response to adhesive force of basic cosmetics. As a result, we obtained a response proportional to the strength of the adhesive force. In addition, responses differed greatly depending on the type of basic cosmetics and whether or not there was any residual liquid.
