(57) Abstract : A test kit and method for visualizing fine lines and
wrinkles is provided, the kit including a transparent strip (2) with an
adhesive on one surface thereof and an imaging substrate with at least one
darkened glossy area for receiving the transparent strip. Written
instructions are provided in the kit. These advise a consumer to place the
adhesive surface of the strip against a skin area requiring measurement.
Thereafter the strip is removed and placed against the darkened area of the
substrate. Topographical features of the skin can be viewed through the
transparent strip with the transferred skin image onto the blackened
background. A cosmetic anti-aging product can be applied to the skin over
a period of time. Beneficial changes caused by the product are visualized
through the test strip as periodic measurements are taken.
