ABSTRACT
As it can take up to several months for recognizable skin improvement, it is difficult to realize the improvement of a skin condition in daily skin care. In this study, with the aim of making it easier to realize the improvement in skin condition and obtain motivating effect of skin care, we developed a system to enhance tactile sensitivity to skin conditions. We used the stochastic resonance to enhance tactile sensitivity to roughness by short-time exposure of minute white-noise vibrations to the fingertips. Additionally, we found that the use of this system in actual skin care routine helped the users to feel the improvement in their skin and improved their motivation.
