As an indicator of dry skin and barrier function, before and after the experiment (after the experiment before and 1-6 weeks), transdermal water loss (TEWL), moisture content and skin type of skin, such as the degree of redness was measured . Consequently, in the subgroup TEWL was higher before testing, as compared to tap water, is that a significant improvement of skin barrier function due to seawater-derived component of the Dead Sea was observed. Further, in any of the subgroups, the water content of the skin, as compared to tap water and is increased in the group soaked in water, moisturizing effect is suggested.
