24-.What is Transepidermal water loss (TEWL)?

What is Transepidermal water loss
What is Transepidermal water loss (TEWL)?It is the indicator to evaluate your skin hydration.


How do you understand the water barrier function of human skin? Try the transepidermal water loss (TEWL)indicator. It is the way to monitor the skin hydration.
Water passes from inside a body through the epidermal layer to the surrounding atmosphere via diffusion and evaporation processes.  It (TEWL)would vary with the skin barrier (wounds, scratches, burns, exposure to solvents or surfactants, extreme dryness), the conditions of weather such as humidity, temperature, season, and moisture content of the skin.  The continuous process(TWEL) is difficult to control artificially and it is an indicator of skin conditions about hydration.

Transepidermal water loss indicates the condition of skin at the moment. For example, when the climate is dry, TEWL value increase. When we has little water in the skin, TEWL value increases. To sum up, Any thing that assaults or insults the skins will increase TWEL indicator. To prevent under the situations to damage the skin and maintain the the indicator (TWEL) between proper ranges is the rule of thumb. 

Usually it is measured by a gadget like the above picture. 
The unit of TEWL: g/(m2 h)
(Expressed in gram per square meter and per hour)
1. Water will pass through dermis to epidermis and excrete to out of the skins.
2. The stratum corneum plays an important role during the water loss process.
3. Water will beat around the barriers of lipids.
4. The more perfect the stratum corneum of epidermis, the higher the water fulfill in skin and the 
lower the TEWL value(Transepidermal water loss ).

76.factors for skin damage(1)

-

There are many factors that cause skin damage. How does the damage result? They may be from the UV light, pollution , and so on. For example, photoaging and free radical. Then the cells are influenced.   photoaging Sunlight will cause phtoaging. Chronically irradiated skin is metabolically hyperactive, thus giving rise to epidermal hyperplasia and neoplasia , increased production of elastic fibers (solar elastosis), accelerated breakdown and synthesis of collagen , and enhanced inflammatory processes. If DNA damaged and a mutation occurs in the gene, the keratinocytes may lose their ability. Free radical and antioxidants Stratum corneum is frequently and directly exposed not only to UVR but also to other outside forces such as air pollutants, chemical oxidants, smoking, and microorganisms . They are the resources of free radicals . If the protection is insufficient, oxidative damage may occur . Then the chronic accumulation of such deviated cell components may result in t

75.The relations of UV light and the molecular in the skin

The relations of UVlight and the molecular in the skin How do light damage skin? Light consists of a spectrum of photons which contain energy that vary according to the wavelength.  The light interacts on the molecular and then changes their chemical structure or on the subatomic level by creating free radicals. Otherwise, not only UV light but also green, blue, and violet light can damage cells. A photon’s energy can be absorbed into the molecule which is then altered. As the absorption of energy, it can also result in electron changes with the generation of free radicals. A free radical is in fact simply an atom with an unpaired electron that starts up a destructive concatenation of chemical reactions. It may end up causing damage in the cell membranes or in the DNA of the cell. The following are the reaction after exposure to UVB, UVA, and blue light. The influence of increased free radical activity DNA strand breaks occur from increased free radical activity. W e
