Abstract
Measuring the tanning skin can provide a scientific method to evaluate the efficacy of cosmetics exfoliator.Dihydroxyacetone(DHA,5.0%(w/w))was used to stain the inner forearms cuticle of subjects.The skin surface L*and b* were determined,then ITA and its recovery rate were calculated to evaluate the exfoliating efficacy of cosmetics.The results showed that no significant(P≥0.05)differences were observed for L*,b* and ITA on different skin surface of unstained subjects.After staining with DHA,no adverse reaction was found in the stained areas,and the changes of L*,b*and ITA on different skin surface were consistent(P≥0.05).Two different cosmetics were used continuously to exfoliate the skin in different areas.After treatment for 7 days,the corresponding areas of skin L*,b* and ITA had significant(P<0.05)improvement in comparison with negative control area.But there were differences in the evaluation results of the exfoliation efficacy using these three parameters.The recovery rate of ITA of two samples improved significantly((P<0.05)than the negative control area.The work indicated that using 5.0%DHA for skin browning and measuring the skin surface color change by ITA recovery rate can accurately and sensitively assess the skin cuticle renewal rate difference.This method can be used as one of the effective way to evaluate the efficacy of cosmetics exfoliation.
