DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetics recommendation method performed by a clerk of a cosmetics store for a customer and a sebum check sheet used therefor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The amount of sebum secreted on the surface of human skin varies from person to person. A person with a small amount tends to have rough skin, and a person with a large amount tends to have greasy skin. Therefore, in order to keep the skin healthy, it is necessary to know the characteristics of one's own skin and use a cosmetic suitable for oneself. Therefore, conventionally, the characteristics of the skin have been scientifically evaluated.For example, sebum on the surface of the skin is collected according to a predetermined method, and the collected sebum is subjected to a chemical extraction method such as a solvent extraction method or an osmate filter paper method. Quantification is performed by the method. Each of these evaluation methods requires a special drug or a complicated device, and therefore, is hardly generally used except for specialists performing them at specific facilities such as laboratories and hospitals.

On the other hand, the present applicant has developed a sebum amount measuring apparatus capable of measuring an accurate sebum amount with a simpler operation, and has already filed an application (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-2206).
No. 30). This device attaches a special sebum collection chip that changes color due to penetration of sebum to a predetermined holder tip and presses it against the skin surface, then inserts the holder tip into the main body to determine the degree of color change of the chip. It is designed to optically read and digitize within.

[0004]

However, although the above-mentioned device is simple in operation, it is expensive and requires a certain level of maintenance because it has built-in optical means and electric means. is there. Therefore, for example, a door-to-door salesperson cannot take the product to the place of visit, and not everyone can immediately check the amount of sebum anytime, anywhere.

[0005] Further, since the amount of sebum differs for each part such as the forehead, nose and cheek, in order to determine the customer's skin type more accurately, the amount of sebum in each part of the forehead, nose and cheek is determined to be large and small. It is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment. However, in the conventional type of device that can measure only one sebum amount, the measurement must be repeated for the forehead, nose and cheek, and each measurement value is compared with the typical pattern of each skin type. It was very time-consuming because it had to be considered.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is very simple to simultaneously check the amount of sebum on the forehead, nose, and cheeks without using optical means or electric means, and immediately perform skin It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of recommending cosmetics suitable for the skin type after determining the type, and a sebum check sheet used for the method.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention comprises a sheet material which changes color when it comes into contact with sebum, and has a size capable of simultaneously covering at least four parts of the forehead, the nose and the right and left cheeks. After applying the sebum check sheet provided with the surface to the customer's face and pressing at least the sheet part in contact with the forehead, the nose and the right and left cheeks at four locations on the face surface, the sebum on the face surface is transferred to the sheet side, Remove the sebum check sheet from the face and observe the discolored state of the sheet due to the transferred sebum. Based on the results, the customer's skin can be classified into four skin types: oily skin, oily dry skin, normal skin, and dry skin. The first gist is a cosmetics recommendation method in which which one belongs to, and which recommends a cosmetic suitable for the skin type.

[0008] In the present invention, at least two types of skin care cosmetics, that is, facial cleansing cosmetics and moisturizing cosmetics, are provided as the cosmetics. ,
In addition, two types of cosmetics, "cleansing" and "soap", are provided, and as a group of cosmetics belonging to the above moisturizing cosmetics, "cosmetic toner" and "emulsion"
The following two types of cosmetics are prepared. As the most suitable skin care cosmetics for the customer's skin, one product from the cosmetics group belonging to the above “cleansing”, one product from the cosmetics group belonging to the above “soap”, and the above “lotion” The second gist is a method in which a total of four products, one from the cosmetics group belonging to the above-mentioned “emulsion” and one from the cosmetics group belonging to the above “emulsion”, are selected, and the use of at least these four products is recommended.

[0009] Furthermore, the present invention, among these, in particular, as the above-mentioned sebum check sheet, the whole shape is formed in a substantially semicircular shape capable of covering the upper half of the face including the nose. When the arc is positioned along the upper edge of the forehead, the sebum check sheet with cuts formed in the part that overlaps the left and right eyes and the left and right parts that become the boundary between the nose and cheek The third recommended method is the recommended cosmetic method.

[0010] The present invention is a sebum check sheet used in the above-mentioned cosmetics recommendation method, which comprises a sheet material that changes color when sebum penetrates, and covers at least four parts of the forehead, the nose, and the right and left cheeks at the same time. A fourth aspect of the present invention is a sebum check sheet having a size that can be formed, and is also made of a sheet material that changes color when sebum penetrates, and has a substantially semicircular shape that can cover the upper half of the face, including the nose. The sebum check has cuts formed in the part that overlaps the left and right eyes and the left and right parts that become the boundary between the nose and cheek when the arc is positioned along the vicinity of the upper edge of the forehead Let the sheet be the fifth gist.

In the present invention, the term "covering" in the case of "covering the forehead, nose, left and right cheeks" and "covering the upper half including the nose" is not limited to the case of completely covering. Some parts are covered, and the other parts are used for the purpose including the case where they are exposed. Therefore, for example, when a part of the nose around the nostrils is exposed, or between the left and right cheeks, even when the majority of the cheeks are covered but the lower part is exposed, It is assumed that it is included in the “cover” state.

[0012]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
