PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a skin care method having little load on skin, which can make skin pores inconspicuous by easily suppressing sebum.SOLUTION: The skin care method includes: a bottomed container 2 having an opening surface 2a and an ion generating part 10 for generating positive ions and negative ions by discharging in the air due to application of a high voltage in the container 2. The ion generating part 10 is driven while tightly closing the inside of the container 2 by closing the opening surface 2a by a skin surface and the ions generated by the ion generating part 10 are brought into contact with the skin surface.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】皮膚への負担が低く簡単に皮脂を抑制して毛穴を目立たなくすることができる美肌方法を提供する。【解決手段】開口面2aを有する有底の容器2と、容器2内に高電圧の印加により空気中で放電して正イオンと負イオンとを発生するイオン発生部10とを備え、開口面2aを肌表面により塞いで容器2内を密閉した状態でイオン発生部10を駆動し、イオン発生部10で発生したイオンを肌表面に接触させるようにした。【選択図】図1
