Abstract

Many women find it difficult to maintain beautiful skin as skincare approaches require a great deal of effort, time, and special knowledge. Women often ask experts in cosmetic stores for skincare advice. However, this approach has limitations in terms of time, place, and privacy. To solve these problems, we propose a remote skincare advice system using life logs. This system helps users automatically log information related to their skin condition and share these data with skincare experts in order to obtain appropriate advice. First, we performed a feasibility study to select proper life log data for our system, and then we built prototype systems. Finally, we verified the effectiveness of our system through two studies.
