Abstract

This study aims to develop a systematic research method consisting of subjective and objective measurement methods to determine the effectiveness of cosmetic textiles on human skin. For this purpose, first of all, the expected properties of the cosmetic textile product were considered and the methods to be used for testing these properties were determined, and finally, a research method was created. Leggings, a cosmetic textile product, was selected to validate the method and a 28-day wear trial was carried out with female subjects to observe the effects of the product on human skin. During the wear trial, the subjects were provided to wear leggings that were designed from different knitting structures and applied cosmetic microcapsules to ensure the optimal slimming, moisturizing, and anti-cellulite properties. Dermatological and anthropometric measurements were carried out at specified periods of the study and the obtained data were statistically analyzed. According to the results, it was determined that the cosmetic textile product developed is skin-friendly and helps to increase skin moisture. Additionally, it was observed to provide a slimming effect to the wearer after a period of regular usage, however, it was suggested as a supportive product for women only with early-stage cellulite. A survey was also conducted to evaluate the cosmetic textiles by using subjective user opinions. The output of the survey has shown a high rate of satisfaction with the comfort, visual and sensory properties of the cosmetic textile product. By introducing the research method developed, it will be possible to accurately determine the effectiveness of cosmetic textiles on human skin and to design, develop and produce new cosmetic textile products with high cosmetic efficacy.

Kozmetik Tekstillerin Etkinliğinin Değerlendirilmesine Yönelik Sistematik Bir Araştırma Yönteminin Geliştirilmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, kozmetik tekstillerin insan derisi üzerindeki etkinliğini belirlemek için subjektif ve objektif ölçüm yöntemlerini içeren sistematik bir araştırma metodunun geliştirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla öncelikle dikkate alınan kozmetik tekstil ürününden beklenen özellikler ve bu özelliklerin test edilmesinde kullanılacak yöntemler belirlenerek araştırma metodu oluşturulmuştur. Sonrasında metodu doğrulamak için bir kozmetik tekstil ürünü olan tayt seçilmiş ve ürünün insan derisi üzerindeki etkilerini gözlemlemek için kadın deneklerle 28 günlük bir giyim denemesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Giyim denemesi sırasında, deneklerin optimal incelme, nemlendirme ve selülit önleyici özelliklerin sağlanması için farklı örgü yapılarından tasarlanan ve kozmetik mikrokapsüller aplike edilmiş taytları giymeleri sağlanmıştır. Çalışmanın belirli periyotlarında dermatolojik ve antropometrik ölçümler yapılmış ve elde edilen veriler istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre geliştirilen kozmetik tekstil ürününün deri dostu olduğu ve deri nemini arttırmaya yardımcı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ek olarak, ürünün kullanıcıya belirli bir süre kullanım sonrasında incelme etkisi sağlandığı gözlemlenmiş, bununla birlikte sadece erken dönem selülit evresindeki kadınlar için destekleyici bir ürün olarak önerilmiştir. Kozmetik tekstilleri subjektif kullanıcı görüşlerinden yararlanarak değerlendirmek için bir anket de yapılmıştır. Anket çıktıları kozmetik tekstil ürününün konfor, görsel ve dokunsal özellikleri açısından yüksek oranda memnuniyet sağladığını göstermiştir. Geliştirilen araştırma yöntemi ile kozmetik tekstillerin insan derisi üzerindeki etkinliğini doğru bir şekilde belirlemek ve kozmetik etkinliği yüksek yeni kozmetik tekstil ürünleri tasarlamak, geliştirmek ve üretmek mümkün olacaktır.
