As touch perception is stimulated when the human skin contacts or strokes over object surfaces, during active touch, friction is generated. This paper systematically reviewed the relationships between subjective tactile perception and measurable skin friction, based on the understanding of the friction mechanisms of human skin, the contribution of skin friction to tactile perception, the relationship between skin friction and other physical parameters (physical level) and the correlation between skin friction and tactile perception in both sensorial level and affective level, which offers insights on how to change the sensation experience of household and personal care products by changing skin friction.
