Provided is a skin cosmetic that includes: (A) 0.1-40 mass % of polymer particles that include prolate-spheroidal polymer particles A that haw no flat surfaces that (1), in a two-dimensional projection obtained by shining light from a direction that is orthogonal to a longitudinal-axis direction, have an average (L 1 AV ) major axis (L 1 ) of 3-60 μm, that (2), in the two-dimensional projection obtained by shining light from the direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal-axis direction, have an average (D 1 AV ) minor axis (D 1 ) of 0.5-30 μm, and that (3) have an average (P 1 AV ) aspect ratio (L 1 /D 1 ), as calculated from the major axes (L 1 ) and the minor axes (D 1 ), of 1.5-30; and 60-99.9 mass % of other components that include (B) inorganic particles and (C) an oily component. |
