Studies of the barrier function of the acid-base state of the skin using a potentiometric method

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

Human skin protects the organs, tissues, and systems of the body from the effects of external irritants and the acid-base state of the skin provides a significant barrier factor. The surface layer of the epidermis was studied using non-invasive potentiometry methods before and after applying daily hygiene products. The possibility of obtaining rapid assessments of the restoration of the protective function of human skin is shown to be an important factor in assessing the general condition of the microflora and the immune function of the skin.
