To provide a technology to perform accurate skin evaluation using viscoelastic characteristics of the skin.SOLUTION: A skin evaluation method includes: a process for acquiring a measurement value of viscoelasticity measurement for the skin of a subject; a process for calculating an approximate expression a recovery curve indicating time characteristics of creep recovery described using one or more creep recovery characteristic components whose time constants are different from each other based on the acquired measurement value; and a process for generating viscoelasticity information on the skin of the subject using the calculated approximate expression.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】肌の粘弾性特性を用いた高精度な肌評価を可能とする技術を提供する。【解決手段】肌評価方法は、被験者の肌に対する粘弾性測定の測定値を取得する工程と、取得された測定値に基づいて、時定数が互いに異なる一以上のクリープ回復特性成分を用いて記述される、クリープ回復の時間特性を示す回復曲線の近似式を算出する工程と、算出された近似式を用いて、被験者の肌の粘弾性情報を生成する工程と、を含む。【選択図】図1
