Description

本発明は、加齢毛穴の鑑別方法及び化粧料の評価方法に関し、より詳しくは加齢毛穴の目立ちの目視評価値を目的変数とし、肌画像から得た色の照度等の変動係数を含む数値を説明変数として得られる回帰式を利用して加齢毛穴の目立ちを評価する鑑別方法及び該鑑別方法を利用した化粧料の評価方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for identifying aging pores and a method for evaluating cosmetics, and more specifically, a visual evaluation value for conspicuous aging pores as a target variable, and a numerical value including a coefficient of variation such as illuminance of a color obtained from a skin image The present invention relates to a discrimination method for evaluating the conspicuousness of aging pores using a regression equation obtained as an explanatory variable, and a cosmetic evaluation method using the discrimination method.

顔の毛穴は、当然ながら誰にでも存在するものであるが、毛穴の見え方、或いはその毛穴を気にするか否かについては個人差が大きいところがある。しかしながら、毛穴が目立つこと自体は、女性にとってはプラスの感覚ではなく、むしろマイナスに捉えられるものである。従って、いかに毛穴を見えにくくするかは、化粧方法や化粧料に求められることなのである。   Naturally, pores on the face exist for everyone, but there are differences among individuals regarding how the pores look or whether or not they care about the pores. However, the fact that pores are conspicuous is not a positive sense for women, but rather a negative one. Therefore, how to make pores difficult to see is required for makeup methods and cosmetics.

毛穴が目立つか否かは個人差が存するが、その要因の1つが「加齢」であることは周知である。一般に毛穴は、加齢に伴い、形態学的に毛穴の皮膚表面の開口部が広がる傾向にあり、これが毛穴が目立つ原因の1つになっている。若齢者の場合、毛穴の形態は比較的円筒形に近い凹部が独立して生じていると考えられるが、加齢に伴う開口部の開きは皮膚表面の凹凸構造の凸部の縁が減退し、結果として凹部が目立つこととなる。両者の毛穴を形態学的に比較すると、若齢期では肌表面が「きめが細かい」という言葉に代表されるように、毛穴自体が小さく目立たない、若しくは縦方向の円筒状に呈する傾向にあるのに対し、加齢に伴う毛穴の開きとは、皮膚表面の開口部自体が広くなり、そこからすり鉢の斜面の如く中央部底面に向かった斜面を呈しているものと考えられる。このように、年齢によって毛穴の形態は異なることから、単に毛穴を隠す方法と言っても、一様でないことは容易に想像され、そのための好適な化粧方法や化粧料は当然ながら異なる。   Whether or not pores are conspicuous varies from individual to individual, and it is well known that one of the factors is “aging”. Generally, pores tend to morphologically widen the pores on the skin surface with aging, and this is one of the causes that make pores conspicuous. In the case of young people, the pore shape is considered to be a relatively cylindrical recess, but the opening of the opening with aging is reduced at the edges of the protrusions of the uneven structure on the skin surface. As a result, the concave portion becomes conspicuous. Comparing both pores morphologically, the skin surface tends to be small, inconspicuous, or present in a cylindrical shape in the vertical direction, as represented by the word “fine texture” in the younger age. On the other hand, the opening of pores with aging is considered to be that the opening on the surface of the skin itself is widened, and that it exhibits a slope toward the bottom of the center, such as the slope of a mortar. Thus, since the form of the pores varies depending on the age, it is easily imagined that the method of simply concealing the pores is not uniform, and naturally suitable cosmetic methods and cosmetics are different.

これまで一般的に、粒子が小さい球状粉体などの素材が毛穴の内部に充填され易く、毛穴隠しに好適な素材として考えられてきており、実際にそのような素材が配合された化粧料の効果が発揮されていた。しかしながら、必ずしも粒子が小さい球状粉体を配合した化粧料であっても毛穴を隠すための効果が十分でないなどの問題が存した。これは、前述のように加齢に伴う毛穴の形態の変化が詳細に解明されていなかったことも要因の1つとして考えられ、実際に加齢に伴い、皮膚表面の開口部が広がった毛穴に対してどのような化粧品方法が好適であるかは解明されていなかったし、このような観点での毛穴隠しに好適な化粧料の提案もなされていなかったのが実情である。   In general, materials such as spherical powder with small particles are easily filled into pores and have been considered as materials suitable for concealing pores. The effect was demonstrated. However, there is a problem that the effect of hiding pores is not sufficient even in a cosmetic containing a spherical powder with small particles. This is considered to be due to the fact that the changes in pore shape accompanying aging were not elucidated in detail as described above, and pores in which the opening on the skin surface actually spreads with aging. On the other hand, what kind of cosmetic method is suitable has not been elucidated, and no cosmetics suitable for concealing pores from this point of view have been proposed.

皮膚形態、さらに詳細には毛穴の構造に着目した化粧料の選択方法は、これまでにいくつか報告されている。即ち、毛穴の面積と深さとから肌の特性に着目し、好適なベースアップ化粧料を選択する方法(特許文献1参照)などもあるが、毛穴補正効果を上げるあまり、見た目がマットな印象になることもしばしばあった。さらに、このような背景もあり、毛穴補正効果についての要望はさらに高まり、加えて自然な見栄えが好まれることから、ベースメークアップ化粧品だけでは補正しがたい毛穴隠しに効果がある化粧料として、近年では下地化粧料に毛穴補正効果を付与することが多い。例えば、シリカなどの半透明な球状粉体を化粧料に配合することにより、毛穴を埋める技術が開発されている(特許文献2参照)。加齢による毛穴の皮膚表面における開口部の広がりを考慮しない場合、粒径3〜20μmの球状粉体が、簡便性という面で、毛穴の充填に著しい効果を有することが示されている(特許文献3参照)。さらに、より毛穴の形態に着目したとき、粒子径が4〜15μmであるときより効果を示すことが明らかにされており(特許文献4参照)、広く一般的に用いられる化粧料については、好適な毛穴補正用の化粧料素材と言える。   Several methods for selecting cosmetics that focus on skin morphology, more specifically, pore structure, have been reported so far. That is, there is a method of selecting a suitable base-up cosmetic by paying attention to the characteristics of the skin from the area and depth of the pores (see Patent Document 1). Often it was. In addition, there is such a background, the demand for pore correction effect is further increased, and since natural appearance is preferred, as a cosmetic that is effective in concealing pores that is difficult to correct with base makeup cosmetics alone, In recent years, pore correction effects are often imparted to base cosmetics. For example, a technique for filling pores by blending a translucent spherical powder such as silica into cosmetics has been developed (see Patent Document 2). It is shown that spherical powder having a particle size of 3 to 20 μm has a remarkable effect on filling pores in terms of simplicity when the opening of the pores on the skin surface due to aging is not considered (patent) Reference 3). Furthermore, when paying attention to the form of pores, it has been clarified that the effect is more effective when the particle diameter is 4 to 15 μm (see Patent Document 4). It can be said that it is a cosmetic material for correcting pores.

前述のように、加齢によって皮膚表面の開口部が広がってしまった毛穴(以下、「加齢毛穴」と略す場合がある。)は、通常の化粧料や化粧方法では十分に隠すことが困難であった。このような加齢毛穴を隠すために有効な化粧料を開発するためには、まず加齢毛穴の目立ちを正確に評価できる方法を確立することが重要である。
即ち、本発明は、加齢によって皮膚表面の開口部が広がった加齢毛穴の目立ちを評価する方法を提供することを目的とする。
As described above, pores whose skin surface opening has spread due to aging (hereinafter may be abbreviated as “aged pores”) are difficult to hide sufficiently with normal cosmetics and makeup methods. Met. In order to develop an effective cosmetic for hiding such aging pores, it is important to first establish a method that can accurately evaluate the conspicuousness of aging pores.

以下、本発明について説明するが、本発明の技術的範囲は、以下の具体的な実施形態にのみ限定されるものではない。   The present invention will be described below, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

<加齢毛穴の鑑別方法>
本発明の一態様である加齢毛穴の鑑別方法(以下、「本発明の鑑別方法」と略す場合がある。)は、加齢毛穴の目立ちを評価する方法であり、下記(1)〜(3)の工程を含むことを特徴とする。
(1)被験者又は前記被験者の肌画像から得た加齢毛穴の目立ちの目視評価値を目的変数とし、前記被験者の肌画像から得た色の照度群、輝度群、若しくは明度群の変動係数、幾何平均、又は調和平均を含む数値を説明変数として得られる回帰式を準備する第1工程。(2)鑑別対象者の肌画像から色の照度群、輝度群、若しくは明度群の変動係数、幾何平均、又は調和平均を含む数値を得る第2工程。
(3)前記第2工程で得た前記数値を、前記第1工程で準備した前記回帰式に代入し、算出された数値を前記鑑別対象者の加齢毛穴の目立ちの評価値として決定する第3工程。
本発明者らは、加齢毛穴の目立ちを評価するために、まず目視評価によって、目立つ毛穴を加齢毛穴に基づくものとそれ以外の毛穴に基づくものに分類し、さらにその目立ちを段階(レベル)分けして、それぞれの毛穴の特徴を検証した。なお、「加齢毛穴」は、「皮膚表面の開口部が広がり、形状がすり鉢状になっている毛穴」と定義して、判断を行った。このような目視評価は、肌のシワ、キメ等を評価するために化粧品業界等で使用されている方法である。目視評価は、官能評価ではあるが、元来、肌の美しさは人の視覚によって認識されるものであり、さらに正確かつ客観的に評価できることが化粧品業界等で認められているため、必要とする情報を効率的に取得できる実用的な方法なのである。なお、図4に示す基準写真を参考に、熟練した評価者10名によって加齢毛穴の目視評価を行った結果、10名/10名が正当となり、再現良く正確な分類(評価)が行えることを確認した。
加齢毛穴が目立つ被験者と目立たない被験者の肌画像及び加齢毛穴以外の毛穴(以下、「普通毛穴」と略す場合がある。)が目立つ被験者(若齢者)と目立たない被験者(若齢者)の肌画像(RGB表色系画像)から、それぞれ図1に示す領域の緑(G)、青(B)、及びRGB混色の照度データを取得して、それをヒストグラムにまとめると図2に示すような分布になる。普通毛穴が目立つ被験者の肌画像は低照度側(ブラック側)の比率が増加するのに対して、加齢毛穴が目立つ被験者の肌画像は高照度側(ホワイト側)と低照度側(ブラック側)の両方の比率が増加して、分布が広がる傾向にあることが確認できる。これは毛穴の断面構造が加齢によって図3に示すように進行し、毛穴周辺の表面のギラツキによって高照度側(ホワイト側)の比率が増加するとともに、暗部となる毛穴の面積が増えることによって低照度側(ブラック側)の比率も増加するためであると思われる(なお、色の照度のみならず、「明るさ」に関係する「輝度」や「明度」等の値についても、分布が広がる傾向にある。)。そして、本発明者らは、このような加齢毛穴の「明るさ」の分布の特徴が現れる変動係数、幾何平均、調和平均等の処理数値を説明変数の1つとし、加齢毛穴の目立ちの目視評価値を目的変数として回帰分析を行うことにより、得られた回帰式が加齢毛穴の目立ちを評価する有効な予測式になることを見出したのである。
なお、「加齢毛穴」とは、前述のように「皮膚表面の開口部が広がり、形状がすり鉢状になっている毛穴」を意味するものとする。
また、「加齢毛穴の目立ちの目視評価値」と「加齢毛穴の目立ちの評価値」の「評価値」とは、加齢毛穴の目立ちの程度を任意の数の段階に分類して、それぞれの段階に応じて付与された数値を意味するものとする。従って、例えば加齢毛穴の目立ちを3段階に分類する場合、加齢毛穴が目立つ群を評価値3と、加齢毛穴が目立たない群を評価値1と、残
りの群を評価値2と設定することが挙げられる。
また、「肌画像から得た色の照度群、輝度群、若しくは明度群」と「肌画像から色の照度群、輝度群、若しくは明度群」の「色の照度群」とは、RGB表色系における赤(R)、緑(G)、青(B)等の照度(強度)の数値(例えば、0(ブラック)〜255(ホワイト))群や、CMYK表色系におけるシアン(C)、マゼンタ(M)、イエロー(Y)、ブラック(B)等の照度(強度)の数値群を意味する。また、「輝度群」とは、YUV表色系等における輝度(Y)の数値群や、HLS表色系における輝度(L)の数値群を意味し、「明度群」とは、マンセル表色系等における明度(V)の数値群を意味する。
さらに「色の照度群、輝度群、若しくは明度群の変動係数、幾何平均、又は調和平均を含む数値」の「数値」とは、肌画像から得られる「彩度」等の直接的な数値、又はこれらの数値を統計的に処理して得られる「平均値」、「最大値」等の数値を意味し、「色の照度群の変動係数」、「色の照度群の幾何平均」、「色の照度群の調和平均」、「輝度群の変動係数」、「輝度群の幾何平均」、「輝度群の調和平均」、「明度群の変動係数」、「明度群の幾何平均」、又は「明度群の調和平均」を含むものであれば、その他の数値は特に限定されないことを意味する。
<Method for distinguishing aging pores>
The method for distinguishing aging pores (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “the distinguishing method of the present invention”), which is an embodiment of the present invention, is a method for evaluating the conspicuousness of aging pores, and includes the following (1) to ( 3) is included.
(1) A visual evaluation value of conspicuous aging pores obtained from the subject or the subject's skin image is used as a target variable, and the illuminance group, luminance group, or lightness group variation coefficient of the color obtained from the subject's skin image, A first step of preparing a regression equation obtained by using a numerical value including a geometric average or a harmonic average as an explanatory variable. (2) A second step of obtaining a numerical value including a variation coefficient, a geometric average, or a harmonic average of a color illuminance group, a luminance group, or a lightness group from a skin image of a discrimination target person.
(3) Substituting the numerical value obtained in the second step into the regression equation prepared in the first step, and determining the calculated numerical value as an evaluation value for conspicuous aging pores of the identification subject 3 steps.
In order to evaluate the conspicuousness of the aging pores, the present inventors first classify the conspicuous pores into those based on the aging pores and those based on other pores by visual evaluation, and further classify the conspicuous stages (levels). ) Divided and verified the characteristics of each pore. “Aging pores” were defined as “pores with widened openings on the skin surface and shaped like a mortar”, and were judged. Such visual evaluation is a method used in the cosmetics industry and the like for evaluating skin wrinkles, texture, and the like. Although visual evaluation is a sensory evaluation, it is originally necessary that the beauty of skin is recognized by human vision, and it is recognized by the cosmetics industry etc. that it can be evaluated more accurately and objectively. It is a practical method that can efficiently acquire information. In addition, as a result of visual evaluation of aging pores by 10 skilled evaluators with reference to the reference photograph shown in FIG. 4, 10/10 people are valid, and accurate classification (evaluation) can be performed with good reproducibility. It was confirmed.
Skin images of subjects with conspicuous aging pores and subjects with inconspicuous subjects, and subjects with prominent pores other than aging pores (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “normal pores”) and subjects with inconspicuous (young people) 2), the illuminance data of the green (G), blue (B), and RGB mixed colors in the region shown in FIG. 1 is obtained from the skin image (RGB color system image), respectively, and is collected into a histogram as shown in FIG. The distribution is as shown. The skin image of subjects with normal pores on the low illuminance side (black side) increases, while the skin images of subjects with aging pores on the high illumination side (white side) and low illuminance side (black side) ) Increase in both ratios, and the distribution tends to expand. This is because the cross-sectional structure of the pores progresses as shown in FIG. 3 by aging, and the ratio of the high illuminance side (white side) increases due to the glare of the surface around the pores, and the area of pores that become dark parts increases. This seems to be due to an increase in the ratio of the low illuminance side (black side) (in addition to the illuminance of the color, the “brightness” and “brightness” values related to “brightness” are also distributed. It tends to spread.) Then, the present inventors set the processing coefficient such as the coefficient of variation, the geometric mean, the harmonic mean, etc. in which the characteristics of the “brightness” distribution of the aging pores appear as one of the explanatory variables, and the conspicuousness of the aging pores. It was found that by performing regression analysis using the visual evaluation value of as a target variable, the obtained regression equation becomes an effective prediction equation for evaluating the conspicuousness of aging pores.
Note that “aged pores” mean “pores having an opening on the skin surface and a mortar shape” as described above.
In addition, the “evaluation value” of “visual evaluation value of conspicuous aging pores” and “evaluation value of conspicuous aging pores” classifies the degree of conspicuous aging pores into an arbitrary number of stages, It shall mean the numerical value given according to each stage. Therefore, for example, when classifying the conspicuousness of aging pores into three levels, a group in which aging pores are conspicuous is set as evaluation value 3, a group in which aging pores are not conspicuous is set as evaluation value 1, and the remaining groups are set as evaluation value 2. To do.
The “color illuminance group” of the “color illuminance group, luminance group, or lightness group obtained from the skin image” and “color illuminance group, luminance group, or lightness group from the skin image” are RGB color specifications. Numeric values of illuminance (intensity) such as red (R), green (G), blue (B) in the system (for example, 0 (black) to 255 (white)) group, cyan (C) in the CMYK color system, It means a group of numerical values of illuminance (intensity) such as magenta (M), yellow (Y), black (B). The “luminance group” means a numerical value group of luminance (Y) in the YUV color system and the like, and a numerical value group of luminance (L) in the HLS color system, and the “lightness group” means the Munsell color specification. It means a numerical value group of brightness (V) in a system or the like.
Furthermore, the “numerical value” of “a numerical value including a variation coefficient, geometric average, or harmonic average of color illuminance group, luminance group, or lightness group” is a direct numerical value such as “saturation” obtained from a skin image, Or it means numerical values such as “average value” and “maximum value” obtained by statistically processing these numerical values, and “coefficient of variation of color illuminance group”, “geometric average of color illuminance group”, “ "Harmonic average of color illuminance group", "Coefficient of variation of luminance group", "Geometric average of luminance group", "Harmonic average of luminance group", "Coefficient of variation of lightness group", "Geometric average of lightness group", or As long as it includes “harmonic average of brightness group”, it means that other numerical values are not particularly limited.

例えば、加齢毛穴の目立ちの目視評価値等を取得し、回帰分析を行って回帰式を得るほか、他者から回帰式を入手すること、或いは従前に使用した回帰式をそのまま又は改変して再利用しようとすること等も「回帰式を準備する」ことに含まれる。
