Abstract
A cross-sectional observational study of 43 infants and 60 adult women was performed in South Africa to assess skin barrier (SB) function through noninvasive quantification of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin surface hydration (SSH). TEWL and SSH improved with age and in anatomic locations with chronic environmental exposure in keeping with reported trends in other ethnicities.Entities:
