Skin treatment by electrostatic application of a topical composition capable of stable electrostatic spraying. A) 2 to 90% by mass of a liquid insulating substance, b) 2 to 90% by weight of conductive material, c) 0.1 to 35% by weight of a particulate powder material that is insoluble and immiscible in the composition, said particulate powder material having a particle size of 0.01 μm to 100 μm, and d) 0.5 ~ 30% by weight thickener for stabilizing the composition, the thickener selected from the group consisting of silicones, waxes, clays, silica and mixtures thereof having a viscosity in excess of 1,000 mPas The liquid insulating material and the conductive material are sufficiently miscible or soluble in the composition such that they are substantially one phase and the composition Is electrostatically sprayed onto the skin with a composition having a resistivity of 0.01 mega ohm · cm to 5000 mega ohm · cm and a viscosity of 0.1 mPas to 50,000 mPas.
