Do you understand your hair structure?-1

Do you understand your hair structure?-2


Hair has a shaft above the skin and a root embedded in the skin. The basic components of hairs are keratin, melanin and trace quantities of metallic elements.   
If hairs are in the period of growth, they will remain in the follicle. During the resting stage, hairs will be sloughed from the skin.

Cuticle
Cuticle is the outer layer of hair shaft. There are three structures in the cuticle. They are coronal, spinous, and imbricate. Only the imbricate type is belonged to human. The others are only found in animals.

Medulla
The medulla is a central core of cells in hairs. It will be amorphous in appearance in human. The structure will be in there types. They are fragmentary, broken, or continuous.

Cortex
The cortex is the main body of hairs. It contains cortical, pigment granules, and ovoid bodies.

71.UVA and UVB Sun protection factor

UVA andUVB Sun protection factor SPF is Sun Protection Factor. The number is determined experimentally indoors by exposing human subjects to a light spectrum meant to mimic noontime sun.   The SPF number only relates to UVB protection.  UVA is measured by the other definition.  UVA protection is not measured through SPF numbers.  PA is the Japanese measurement of sun protection. It is one of protection grade of UVA  . UVA is based on the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) reaction reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure.  PA is a protective level of strength to mark the three PA+, PA++ and PA+++. SPF(sun protection factor) Standard: ISO 2444: 2010 cosmetic sun protection test method in vivo determination of SPF (sun protection factor) Test by erythema Minimal dose: MED (minimal erythema dose) Process: exposure to the UV (wave length 290-400nm) Test skin type: type I~ III (ITA 0 >28 0 ) Duration: 16-24hrs after exposure UVA-PF (UVA protection factor)

79.The roles of Vitamin in skin

The roles of Vitamin in skin As we know, the chemical changes induced by exposure to sunlight, we should be able to design a cosmeceutical regime to combat photodamage and reverse its effects. Vitamin molecules are the options and have the functions of metabolism, antioxidant and preventing free radical. 1.       Metabolism Vitamin A controls the conversion of pre–matrix metalloproteinases secreted by keratinocytes and fibroblasts into active matrix metalloproteinases, but with a deficiency of vitamin A, UV irradiation stimulates the unimpaired release of metalloproteinases that then destroy collagen and the anchoring fibrils. Without vitamin A, the rete pegs become flattened. Lang erhans cells need vitamin A to function, but if the vitamin A is inactivated by light, then they cannot function properly and recognize cells whose DNA has been damaged. 2.       Antioxidant Deficiencies of vitamin C permit more free radical damage . The main action of vitamin C is as an
