Abstract
The purpose of this study was to thermally characterize the skin surface condition and quantitatively evaluate the effect of cosmetic preparations and beauty treatments by IR Thermography instrument. For this purpose, we measured the temperature distribution of the facial skin of 18 women and analyzed the distribution, mean and real temperature using Data Processor.
It was found that the mean temperature of facial skin decreased with aging and the real temperature of forehead was higher than that of cheeks.
Moreover, we suggested that this Thermography method was possible to evaluate the effect of beauty treatment.
