The DSI Sense device [purchased separately] measures the drying stresses on skin due to changes in indoor temperature and humidity.
The app displays two diagnostics to represent these stresses:
(1) the Dry Skin Index, based on a thermodynamic property of water vapor, and
(2) hydration of the outer layer of the Stratum Corneum, calculated from relative humidity.
Why are these parameters important?
You cannot sense the magnitude of drying stresses on your skin and thus many people around the globe are afflicted by seasonal dry skin since they don't have the information to prevent or manage it.
But with the new DSI Sense and app, people for the first time will have the ability to monitor those stressors and then respond with the appropriate skin-care options, including:
(1) application of moisturizing creams and lotions to dry areas of skin
(2) operation of a room humidifier to reduce drying stresses.
Who is this for?
If you (or a family member)
--have dry skin that is aggravated by indoor drying stresses caused by seasonal changes in the weather
--are over 40 and find it harder and harder to keep your skin hydrated so that it looks and feels healthy
--have skin conditions that can be triggered by elevated indoor drying stresses
--are over 60 and are susceptible to low-level dermal inflammation related to incomplete hydration of the outer layer of skin (i.e., stratum corneum)
--are a skin-care professional who wants to track indoor drying stresses on skin to better serve your clients
