METHOD FOR EVALUATING EXTERNAL PREPARATION FOR SKIN AND EXTERNAL PREPARATION FOR SKIN

摘要

It is intended to provide a method for conveniently and accurately evaluating the uniformity of application of an external preparation for skin. Further, it is intended to provide an external preparation for skin having high application uniformity by elucidating a relationship between the skin shape and the application uniformity of the external preparation for skin. By using the abundance of an external preparation for skin around the pores of the skin to which the external preparation for skin was applied as an index, the application uniformity of the external preparation for skin is evaluated. As the external preparation for skin obtained by the evaluation, for example, a cosmetic for making the pores less visible comprising translucent spherical powder, trimethylsiloxysilicate and/or an (alkyl acrylate/dimethicone)copolymer and water, wherein 90% by mass or more of the translucent spherical powder is translucent spherical powder with a particle diameter of 4 to 15 µm is preferably exemplified.
