Field Notes
Observations are made along the way.
Thoughts that are not planned, but rather emerge spontaneously.
The Field Notes consist of records from the world of NATURFACTOR® – about skin, care and the rhythm that connects both.
How do I determine my true skin type without guessing?
Dry, oily, or combination skin? Distinguishing between constitutional skin type and transient conditions leads to more reliable skincare decisions. A physiological classification.
Hypothermic facial baths: immediate refinement vs. post-ice water TEWL spike
Ice-cold facial soaks create an immediate tightening effect – but in the rebound window, transepidermal water loss can measurably increase. What vasoconstriction, aquaporins, and lipid...
Temperature fluctuation-induced barrier collapse in the hybrid office: TEWL persistence under varying climate conditions
Air conditioning, heating, outside temperatures: anyone who commutes daily between climate zones exposes their skin barrier to a cumulative stress protocol. What TEWL persistence means...
Hyaluronic acid multiplex under radiofrequency: The osmotic paradox at 45–60 °C
Long-chain and medium-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid can reverse their efficacy profile after Thermage FLX or RF thread lifting: Why heat and vapor pressure destabilize the osmotic...
Cabin Dehydration – What Happens to Your Skin at 10,000 Meters
In an airplane cabin, humidity drops to desert levels. What this does to hyaluronic acid concentration and the skin barrier – and what care strategy...
Wet Makeup & Humid Finish – The Overhydration Irritation Trap with Humidity Changes
Water-rich make-up formulations can trigger osmotic stress when humidity changes abruptly, destabilizing the skin barrier. Here's what's behind it and how skincare counteracts it.
Understanding the Skin Barrier – Foundation for Healthy and Resilient Skin
If you really want to understand skin, you start with its architecture: The stratum corneum is barely 20 micrometers thin – yet it is responsible...
TEWL — What transepidermal water loss reveals about the skin barrier
Transepidermal Water Loss — TEWL — is the most important objective marker of skin barrier function in clinical dermatology. Not a sensation, but a measurable...
