| description | This study aimed to develop and evaluate cosmetic textiles integrated into sportswear to enhance skin hydration and reduce the appearance of cellulite. The research involved the creation of leggings and long-sleeve shirts treated with microencapsulated natural extracts targeting moisture and anti-cellulite effects. A total of 18 healthy female volunteers participated in the wear trials with a control group and an experimental group wearing the microencapsulated garments. The participants underwent a standardized training procedure, and their skin’s moisture level and cellulite (orange peel) appearance were assessed using Tewameter measurements and thermal imaging. Additionally, dermatological clinical evaluations were performed. The results demonstrated that the microencapsulated products significantly improved skin hydration and reduced cellulite grades compared to the control group. All nine participants in the microencapsulated group displayed negative values for the appearance of orange peel skin, whereas two of the nine participants in the control group exhibited negative cellulite levels, one showed a positive value, and six showed no change at all. Statistical analyses also confirmed the efficacy of the microencapsulated garments. The study highlights the potential of cosmetic textiles in providing added value to sportswear by offering functional skin benefits during physical activity. |
