Does dietary fluid intake affect skin hydration in healthy humans? A systematic literature review
ConclusionsAdditional dietary water intake may increase stratum corneum hydration. The underlying biological mechanism for this possible relationship is unknown. Whether this association also exists in aged subjects is unclear. Research is needed to answer the question whether increased fluid intake decreases signs of dry skin.

A new technique for evaluating heel xerosis grade and the effects of moisturizer on heel skin dryness
ConclusionOur new methods of visually classifying heel dryness and quantifying dead skin cells using magnified images effectively evaluated heel skin properties. As heel skin is prone to dryness, daily repetitive application of moisturizer might be helpful for hydrating dry heel skin, and ultimately preventing complications.

Effects of pregnancy on skin properties: A biomechanical approach
ConclusionThis study showed that the mechanical properties of skin changed drastically during pregnancy compared to the non‐pregnant condition and that these properties remain altered 4 months after delivery. In addition to alterations in abdominal skin during pregnancy, we also observed mechanical changes on the thighs, which are less subject to stretching. (Source: Skin Research and Technology)

Assessing a portable, real ‐time display handheld meter with UV‐A and UV‐B sensors for potential application in personal sun exposure studies
ConclusionHandheld devices may be useful to provide real‐time readings of solar UVR patterns, however, to achieve synchronicity in the magnitude of readings to those made by science‐grade fixed instruments, devices may need to be used during certain times of the day and in clear‐sky conditions which may not be practical in personal exposure studies.

Age ‐dependent skin texture analysis and evaluation using mobile camera image
ConclusionThe proposed method in this study shows that the skin surface can be quantitatively evaluated by the similarity with ground truth. We also propose a method to diagnose and manage individual skin condition using a mobile camera in real life. (Source: Skin Research and Technology)

Comparison of stratum corneum thickness between two proposed methods of calculation using Raman spectroscopic depth profiling of skin water content
ConclusionAlthough there was a difference in calculated SC thickness of about 20% between the two methods, these results reveal that the two SC thickness calculation methods using Raman spectroscopy were suitable for measuring SC thickness, a finding consistent with other published results.

Characterization of oily mature skin by biophysical and skin imaging techniques
ConclusionThe mature oily skin showed different characteristics from normal/dry skin in terms of sebum content, microrelief parameters, and dermis thickness. This way, the characterization of mature oily skin in an objective way is very important to development of dermocosmetic products for more effective treatments focused specially on this type of skin.

Noninvasive quantitative analysis of ceramide in skin of healthy Chinese population
ConclusionCeramide is an important lipid in the epidermis and is closely related to the skin barrier function. There are 12 subtypes of ceramide detected in the skin of Chinese healthy people, and there is a difference in the concentration between individuals. The difference may be associated with the skin barrier condition, and may also be related to the unavoidable error in the process of sampling, treatment, and detection.

Glycan distribution and density in native skin's stratum corneum
ConclusionGlycan spatial distribution and degradation is first observed on the surface of SC in native conditions and at high resolution. The method used can be extended to precisely localize the presence of other macromolecules on the surface of skin or other tissues where the maintenance of its native state is required.
