Abstract

Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) was measured as a function of skin temperature, using human cadaver skin in modified skin difusion chambers. A formula was derived to allow conversion of TEWL at any skin temperature to a standard reference temperature. This formula permits more accurate comparison of TEWL within and between subjects.
