Transepidermal water loss will result in a dry, tight and often inflamed looking appearance. It gives you an impaired acid mantle and impaired immune response, impacting and comprimising the skins structural integrity.
Examples of severe transepidermal water loss are eczema or psoriasis. These conditions occur when vital fluids evaporate and the skin becomes very dry and inflamed.
Restoring free water levels and thickening of the matrix of the skin is an integral part of revising the skin back to a healthy functional state.
