What is the skin(6)? the cells
Epidermis has layers
Stratum corneum/ horny layer
Stratum lucidum
Stratum granulosum/ granular layer
Stratum spinosum/ spinous layer
Stratum basale/ basal layer

The major cells in epidermis
Keratinocyte: start from Stratum basale
Cormeocyte: late stage of cell division, almost full in stratum corneum
Melanocyte
Langerhans cell
Merkel cell

l   Keratinization is that the cell divisions from Stratum basale to stratum corneum. The outer layer cells become hardened and died.
l   Desquamation is the process the upper layer cells escape the skin.
l   During the cell divisions, the cell will release substances such as ceramide, cholesterol, fatty acid, etc. The substances is the lipid which will connect the keratinocytes well and prevent the water loss.
l   Corneocytes are terminally differentiated keratinocytes and are the cells without cytoplasmic organelles. The cells fill with keratin, lipids, fatty acids and ceramides.
l   The corneocyte cell layer can absorb three times its weight in water but if its water content drops below 10% it no longer remains pliable and cracks.( Ref. www.radcliffe-oxford.com)
Summary
The cell division happened and cells migrate to the outer skin. The cell will excrete some substance to joint together. Water is the important factor for cell division process.

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
