Skin Hydration Measurement

What is Skin Hydration?

Skin hydration is essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your skin. Proper hydration is crucial for skin resilience, youthfulness, and protection against harmful toxins. Often, we may select skincare products that are too harsh or inappropriate, leading to further dehydration.

By assigning your skin a hydration score from 0 to 100, we can accurately identify your skin type and help you choose suitable products, especially as the seasons change. At Santi London, we use advanced Skin Lab technology to assess moisture levels in your skin, providing you with a clear understanding of its hydration needs.

Importance of Skin Hydration

Skin hydration refers to the level of water content in the skin, which is vital for maintaining healthy skin. Hydrated skin appears supple, plump, and youthful, while dehydrated skin looks dry, rough, and accentuates wrinkles.

How is Skin Hydration Measured?

Skin hydration can be measured using several methods, each providing valuable insights into your skin’s moisture levels:

1. Corneometer: This device measures the electrical conductivity of the skin, offering a quantitative assessment of skin hydration.
2. Tewameter: This tool measures transepidermal water loss (TEWL), giving information about the skin’s ability to retain moisture.
3. Skin Surface Hydration Test: Utilizing a probe, this test measures the water content of the topmost layer of the skin.

These methods collectively help identify changes or signs of dryness, aging, or skin damage, allowing for targeted skincare solutions.
