Skin Hydration explores the science behind maintaining healthy, moisturized skin, emphasizing that it's more than just drinking water—it involves complex biological processes.
The book argues for a comprehensive approach, considering both internal factors like aging and external elements such as environmental conditions, to combat dryness and maintain skin elasticity.
Readers will gain insights into how the epidermis and dermis function in water retention and how transepidermal water loss (TEWL) impacts skin health.
The book progresses through chapters that first explain the skin's structure and function, followed by detailed analyses of biological processes like the role of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs).
It then transitions to practical strategies, evaluating skincare ingredients and dietary impacts, differentiating evidence-based solutions from marketing claims.
This approach empowers readers to make informed choices about skincare and lifestyle, offering a unique perspective by combining scientific rigor with actionable advice.
