“…This suggests that increases in skin SC and SS is due to the decrease in TEWL as a result of skin being covered by gloves. Overall, these findings are in accordance with findings reported by Kawai et al [8] and Mohamad et al [9] which states that the skin SC and SS were significantly and negatively correlated with TEWL. Data also revealed a clear decrease in SP compared to not wearing gloves.…”

Continues wearing gloves is a crucial problem among health care workers treating patients with coronavirus (COVID-19) infection that may cause skin complications. In the present study, the skin conductance (SC), skin potential (SP) and skin susceptance (SS) were used to identify the effects of long-term wearing gloves among health care workers managing COVID-19. The experimental procedure was repeated 30 times on three subjects recruited as volunteers to wear gloves for 4 hours. The baseline of parameters SC, SP, and SS were recorded at normal conditions without wearing the glove at zero time (To). The parameters were again recorded in the cases of glove-wearing with and without zinc oxide ointment (ZnO) for the same period. Noticeable differences were found in each of SC, SP and SS for subjects who wore gloves when compared to the baseline for 4 h. Results also showed significant differences in each of SP and SS during the same period with applying ZnO comparing to wearing gloves without applying ZnO. The results show that skin hydration is significantly improved by using ZnO. However, changing gloves at least every four hours of continuous wearing is recommended.

“…As an example, air conditioning can cause the skin to be dry because of the decreasing water content in the stratum corneum. [ 20 ] Several methods can be utilized to overcome skin problems. For instance, the participants could consume collagen, such as Botryococcus braunii in microalgae, which helps to prevent skin aging.…”

Backgrounds:Variety of cosmetic products was used in our daily life, yet the amount and types of the cosmetic products used by the consumers were varied, which may be due to the different perspectives held by each of the consumers.Objectives:To explore consumers’ perspectives toward cosmetic products.Methods:An interview guide was developed with a set of 12 semistructured questions. Participants in Kuantan, Pahang were recruited via the purposive sampling, and they undergo in-depth face-to-face interviews. All of the interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and were analyzed via thematic content analysis.Results:For the awareness of cosmetic products, less aware about the cosmetic products in Malaysia were noted among the participants. In terms of perceptions about the cosmetic products, participants expressed positive perceptions toward natural cosmetic products, quality were seen as synonymous with branded products and halal certification. Next, for the attitude toward the use of cosmetic products, participants were influenced by ingredients, product brand, and halal certification. Based on personal experiences, they provide complaints and suggestions for the enhancement of cosmetic products’ quality.Conclusions:Participants were found to have less awareness about the cosmetic products in Malaysia. Besides, they realized about the chemical ingredients and halal certification for the cosmetic products. Therefore, they held positive perceptions and practiced positive attitudes toward natural and halal cosmetic products. Finally, adverse reactions from the use of cosmetic products were commonly experienced by the participants, which contributed mainly by the ingredients. Thus, they hoped for serious approached to be enacted to solve this problem.

“…The best performance and interchangeability of probe is insured as it is strongly factory calibrated probes. TEWL is measured in grams per square meter per hour [3,5]. Hydration amongst the group of anatomical location is performed with ANOVA to check if normality assumptions were satisfied.…”

Skin biophysical properties can indicate not only skin condition but also the systemic status of the human organism. Understanding the skin's physiological , chemical and biophysical characteristics will helps to arrange a proper approach to the management of the skin diseases. Also Skin analysis allows people to take control of their skin care .By detecting any possible issues early can reduce the amount of treatments that might be needed and the costs involved. In this study non invasive skin biophysical parameter has been used for comparision of Hydration and Tran epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) in normal, psoriasis, vitiligo affected skin by using the Dermalab ® series Skin Lab Combo equipment .The anatomical locations selected for measurements are forehead, volar forearm mid region, Dorsal Hand and Neck in an individual. The study found that baseline TEWL and Hydration depends on anatomical regions . Variation in these parameters are found to great extent in psoriasis as compared to normal and vitiligo affected skin
