Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for measuring skin types and a method for providing skin care information are provided to determine a skin type by measuring the type of a testee's skin based on the oriental medicine. CONSTITUTION: One or more indexes corresponding to one or more skin types based on the oriental medicine is set up(S1). Information on a testee with respect to each index is quantified(S2). Quantified results are compared with respect to each index. The skin type to which the testee belongs is determined. An average value of each skin type is calculated as a result from the quantified values(S3). The quantified results are compared with one another and the skin type of the testee can be determined(S4).
