Abstract
A method for testing skin for presence of moisturizing substances is provided which method includes the steps of applying to the skin a moisturizer formulation which includes protein, urea and/or glucose and/or other reducing sugar such as fructose all of which bind with water and form a film or coating on the skin which inhibits moisture loss from the skin, and subsequently testing the skin for the presence of protein, urea and/or glucose and/or other reducing sugar remaining on the skin which is directly correlated to the amount of moisturizer formulation remaining on the skin. When it is determined through the testing that there has been at least a predetermined loss of protein, urea and/or glucose or other reducing sugar, additional moisturizer is then applied to the skin.
