【 摘 要 】

As the epidermis adapts to different environments, desquamation of keratinocytes is affected by the water content in the epidermis. The thickness of the outermost layer of skin is determined by the interaction between exfoliation and moisture evaporation. The balance between these processes is the key to healthy skin, but has not been studied. The present study constructs a qualitative numerical model of stratum corneum thickness based on the interaction between exfoliation and evaporation processes.
