38.Skin health_Water content and hydration

-
There are many methods to detect the skin health, skin surface properties, skin color, skin color type, and hair conditions. They are non-intrusive. 
Skin health
Skin health_Water content and hydration
l   Water content and hydration
Stratum corneum water meter
Capacitance
There are two plates in the measurement device which are insulated by a medium that acts as a dielectric.
A capacitor has the capability to store electrical charge when a charged field comes into close proximity
The capacitance is directly proportional to the moisture content of the samples
The higher the moisture is, the higher the capacitance is.
Conductance
This method is according to the changes in the electrical properties of the stratum corneum.
Dry stratum corneum has weak electrical conduction.
The electrical properties of skin are expressed in terms of resistance, conductance (current/resistance), or impedance (ohms at a fixed frequency).
An increase in the dielectric constant leads to a decrease in impedance and increased conductance and capacitance.
It is easily influenced by external factors that act on the stratum corneum.
For example, at high frequencies, it is impossible to measure resistance and capacitance accurately. In addition, at high frequencies, impedance provides information not only on the stratum corneum, but also on the deeper layers of the skin.

Impedance
The difference of above is measurements at different frequencies of the applied alternating current are integrated. The advantage of this method is it allows to select the different electrical impedance by the layers of skin.

Dielectric constant value
15um: epidermis, stratum corneum
30um: epidermis, stratum corneum
2mm  : dermis

76.factors for skin damage(1)

-
Image
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
