GlossarySebumeter

device measuring skin's natural oil levels

A Sebumeter is a specialized device used to measure the amount of sebum, or natural oil, on the skin's surface. It works by using a small, absorbent film that is pressed against the skin to collect sebum, which is then analyzed to determine the oiliness level. This tool is particularly useful in dermatology and cosmetic science for assessing skin conditions and the effectiveness of skincare products.
