CES: Beauty and personal care get tech makeover

From devices that analyse skin to finding the right bra size, beauty-tech shines at CES, writes BRYAN TURNER.

L’Oreal: A device to control skin pH

The skin is often referred to as one of the forgotten organs. L’Oreal aims to change this perception.

My Skin Track pH by La Roche-Posay is claimed to be the first wearable sensor and companion app to measure personal skin pH levels and create customised product regimens to treat skin. 

The pH scale ranges from acidic to basic, on a spectrum measured from 0 to 14. Healthy skin pH exists within the slightly acidic range between 4.5 and 5.5. When pH balance is compromised, whether through environmental factors or underlying conditions, it can trigger inflammatory responses, like eczema. 

The new device is a small, thin, flexible sensor, which represents a huge advance in personalised skincare technology for L’Oreal. As the first wearable to measure individual skin pH levels, using microfluidic technology, it captures trace amounts of sweat from skin pores through a network of micro-channels, providing an accurate pH reading within 15 minutes.
