Abstract

The present disclosure provides a care device with improved pleasantness when the care device is brought into contact with and worn on the skin. The care device of the present disclosure is a care device that is brought into contact with or worn on the skin. The care device of the present disclosure includes a skin wearing member containing an elastomer. The skin wearing member has an Asker C hardness of 30 degrees or less and a coefficient of static friction of 3 or less. Here, the coefficient of static friction is a coefficient of static friction for an artificial skin sheet that satisfies the following characteristics (A) and (B). (A) A compressive stress of the artificial skin sheet at a time of being pushed in a thickness direction at a depth of 2 mm is between 0.01 MPa and 0.05 MPa inclusive. (B) Calculated average roughness Ra of a surface of the artificial skin sheet is from 5 μm to 10 μm.
