Having dry skin is a condition that can bring discomfort and other problems, as it might turn into a wound that could become an entryway to bacteria and consequently cause inflammation. Most of the time, this is a problem that a moisturizer could quickly fix, but if it is a deeper dehydration scenario, professional help might be needed. To understand the actual situation, some portable devices can measure skin moisture anytime required.
One example is the Fatuxz Digital Skin Detector Pen; it works by pressing the probe on the top of the device into the skin. Furthermore, this device also measures skin oiliness. It comes with a manual and diagram explaining the ideal percentages on different areas of the face. In this manual, it is recommended that the moisture readings range from 35 to 60 percent.
Another option is the MiLi Pure moisture meter is made to study the skin’s hydration levels via two metal probes that, when pressed against the skin for five seconds, will read the hydration levels in the skin. After that, the data will sync to an app that shows how hydrated or not the skin is. The app can also compare the obtained readings to others and even recommend specific tips to improve the present hydration levels if needed.
In conclusion, following the dryness of the skin can be a very interesting habit; even for people with established skincare routines (using some acids or other harsh ingredients can dry out the skin). Periodic testing is also good to understand the changes in the body in some specific situations or even to check the effects of a new product on the skin.
