Abstract
An indicator for determining and indicating the fat and moisture content of human skin includes a substrate being colored other than white. An approximately white-tinted, fat-sensitive and moisture-sensitive substance is applied to the substrate. The substance at least partially changes its color after being applied to the skin by changing its physical refractive index when brought into contact with the skin as a function of the fat and moisture content of the skin, permitting the colored substrate underneath the substance to at least partially show through and be visible. An indicator assembly for determining and indicating the fat and moisture content of human skin includes a flat face mask having locations to be measured and a plurality of the indicators being removably fastened to the locations to be measured.
