    process of maintaining water in skin's outermost layer

    Skin hydration refers to the process of maintaining an adequate level of water in the skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum. Proper skin hydration is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity, smoothness, and barrier function, which helps protect against environmental damage and prevents conditions like dryness, flakiness, and irritation.
