Summary

This observational study compares skin barrier function between healthy adult women who regularly use UV lamps for nail treatments and those who do not. Researchers measure transepidermal water loss, skin hydration, and redness on the hands to see if UV lamp exposure is linked to changes in skin health. Participants attend a single visit, complete a short questionnaire, and undergo non-invasive skin measurements.
