| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using different skin cleansing methods, we aimed to clarify the effects of thermal, mechanical, and chemical stimulation on the function of the skin as a barrier, and the physiological characteristics of the skin by age. In this study, we measured the skin physiology of 48 subjects ranging from 20 to 80 years of age. The results of our study showed that the physiological characteristics of the skin were different for different body parts, such as the back and lower limbs, and also for different age groups. Furthermore, we found that transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin temperature were high in elderly people over the age of 60 years, which caused high levels of perspiration, making the lower and upper limbs prone to dryness. This study has shown that physiological skin characteristics differ by age group, suggesting the necessity of routine skincare, including cleansing methods that take age-related characteristics into consideration.
