化粧用パフの使い心地に及ぼす毛の閘さの影響

摘要

今日化粧は多くの女性が日常行う営みであり，メーカからrnは美的役割以外に保護的役割を併せ持つ非常に高機能な化粧rn品が開発されている.しかし，その際に使用される化粧道具にrn関する研究事例はファンデーション用スポンジの弾力性［1］rnやなめらかさの評価［2］，衛生面からの報告［3,4］,粉おしろrnいの化粧パフへのとりこみ性［5］など比較的少ない.本研究rnは，皮膚の最外層に使用され，化粧の仕上げ，肌の保護等にrn用いるフェイスパウダー用化粧パフに着目する.%Effect of pile length on the comfortable usage for the powder puff was investigated by both subjective and objective evaluations. Two series of samples varying the pile length from 4 mm to 16 mm were made from the same fiber type and fabric structure for this purpose. Subjects evaluated the degree of "springy", "soft" and "smooth" sensation of a puff against the skin without using the cosmetic powder. The longer the pile length generated stronger springy feeling. This springy feeling was closely related to the compression energy (WC) obtained by KES-handy compression tester. The preferred pile length was 11 mm and 13 mm when subjects evaluated the overall sensation by the puff without using cosmetic powder. When subjects used these samples with cosmetic powder for their make-up, puff with pile length of 7 mm was most preferred. Long pile length such as 16 mm disturbed for the subject to put powders into their various curved area of face.
