APPARATUS FOR MEASURING SKIN MOISTURE CONTENT AND METHOD FOR THE OPERATING THE APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus and a method for measuring skin moisture are provided to perform optimized skin moisture measurement according to specific skin of a user by determining an automatic or manual mode after performing a calibration operation. A method for measuring skin moisture includes the steps of: starting skin moisture measurement by receiving a skin moisture measurement request from a user(911); converting to a calibration mode in case of first measurement(913); measuring skin impedance of a user and determining whether the skin impedances in a wet skin area and a dry skin area are distinguished by comparing the skin impedance and a threshold value(914); and generating a current state of the skin by determining whether the skin is wet or dry(920).
