皮肤水合是一个复杂的过程，影响皮肤的物理和机械特性。多年来已经出现了各种技术来评估该参数，当前的标准是基于电子探针的仪器。然而，他们无法提供详细信息，促使人们使用复杂的光谱和成像方法，这些方法能够进行深入的皮肤分析，包括结构和成分细节。现代成像和光谱技术改变了皮肤病学和化妆品学科的皮肤研究，现在通常与传统方法结合使用，对健康和病理皮肤进行综合评估。本文回顾了当前用于测量皮肤水合作用的技术，并介绍了其工作原理和在皮肤相关研究中的应用。
Skin hydration is a complex process that influences the physical and mechanical properties of skin. Various technologies have emerged over the years to assess this parameter, with the current standard being electrical probe-based instruments. Nevertheless, their inability to provide detailed information has prompted the use of sophisticated spectroscopic and imaging methodologies, which are capable of in-depth skin analysis that includes structural and composition details. Modern imaging and spectroscopic techniques have transformed skin research in the dermatological and cosmetics disciplines, and are now commonly employed in conjunction with traditional methods for comprehensive assessment of both healthy and pathological skin. This article reviews current techniques employed in measuring skin hydration, and gives an account on their principle of operation and applications in skin-related research.
