Methods For Improving Skin Quality

Abstract

A skin treatment regimen for delivery of a rinse-off personal skin care composition is provided. The rinse-off personal skin care composition includes varying ratios of a lathering agent to a hydrophobic benefit agent. The rinse-off personal skin care composition can be applied to skin of a user in phases over and/or in a treatment cycle. Each of the phases of the treatment cycle can include a ratio of the varying ratios that can be different such as higher or lower than a ratio of adjacent phase.

1 . A method for providing a personal skin care article with an optimized user experience profile, the method comprising:
 identifying a target population,   developing a population profile with respect to a rinse-off personal care composition used for cleansing and moisturizing comprising the steps of
 determining the population preferences for maximum amount of hydrophobic benefit agent, and 
 determining the population preferences for lather volume, lather texture, and lathering speed, composition thickness, color, translucence, opalescence, and scent 
   formulating a personal care composition reflecting a population profile, wherein the composition comprises varying ratios of a lathering agent to a hydrophobic benefit agent,   configuring a delivery article adapted to dispense the composition in discrete aliquots of approximately equal volume, and adapted to contain the composition so as to dispense the composition in phases comprising at least:
 a first phase comprising a first ratio of the varying ratios of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent, 
 a second phase comprising a second ratio of the varying ratios of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent that is different than the first ratio; 
   manufacturing the composition for the target population;   providing the composition in the delivery article.
