Abstract
SUMMARY The effect of local change in forehead skin temperature on both surface lipid composition and sebum excretion rate was studied in thirty-six subjects. The sebum excretion rate varied directly with local temperature change so that a change in temperature of 1° C produced a change in the sebum excretion rate of the order of 10%. Significantly less squalene was detected in surface lipid when forehead temperature was decreased but no other temperature dependent variations in the composition of surface lipid were observed.
