Abstract

The parameters of human skin health can be assessed from the level of skin hydration. Skin hydration level is the water content in the stratum corneum which is strongly influenced by natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and intercellular lipids. These components can be disrupted when exposed to irritants, such as detergents, too acidic substances, and so on. This condition can cause a decrease in skin hydration levels and becomes inactive, thereby it increases the skin's sensitivity to exogenous factors and infections. Traditional tofu factory workers are workers who have a risk of experiencing a decrease in skin hydration levels due to frequent exposure to tofu-making ingredients with an acidic pH. In Matraman Sub-district, East Jakarta, there are several tofu factories with the manufacturing process that is still processed traditionally. This descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design aims to determine the overview of hand skin hydration levels in tofu-making workers located in the traditional tofu factory at Matraman District, East Jakarta. So that the workers and factory owners are expected to improve the quality of their workers. Data were obtained by measuring skin hydration levels in 100 study subjects using SK-IV corneometer and filling out questionnaires. Results: an overview of the skin hydration levels of right-handed and left-handed subjects with an average of 20,42% (very dry skin). The average level of skin hydration was lowest in the 60-70 year age group (19,35%), and in the 20-30 year age group (21,65%) and the male group had higher levels (20,59%). Level measurement at the hand location was obtained very dry skin category on the back of the right hand (100%). The more frequent of the frequency exposure to chemicals, the lower the hydration level of the skin (20,08%).

Abstract

Skin hydration has an important role in various diseases of the elderly. Skin hydration is determined by two factors, namely the ability of the stratum corneum (SC) to retain water due to natural moisturizing factors and the barrier function of the intercellular lipid lamellar structure and tight junctions. Several parameters are usually used for skin hydration, such as surface water content (SWC) and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). With age, several changes in the skin affect hydration, including changes in the cellular and intercellular lipid matrix, skin pH, SC protease enzymes, decreased sebaceous and sweat gland activity, and decreased estrogen levels in women. Therefore, a moisturizer is needed to minimize the unwanted effects of some of these changes. Selection of the type of moisturizer is very important for the elderly, especially moisturizers with antiseptic, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects are highly recommended. The ability of essential oils as components of moisturizers has been proven in various studies. Essential oils can improve the function of the epidermal barrier and help prevent transepidermal water loss. Therefore, this literature review discusses the role of various essential oils, namely green tea oils (Camellia sinensis or Camellia assamica), virgin coconut oils (Cocos nucifera L.), evening primrose oils (Oenothera paradoxa), grape seed oils (Vitis vinifera L.) .), rosemary oils (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), immortelle oils (Helichrysum italicum), and cannabis seeds oils (Cannabis sativa L.) on improving skin hydration in the elderly.
