The assessments made were skin surface hydration using an electrical capacitance technique, transepidermal water loss by evaporimetry, number of corneocytes released using a turbine stimulation method, and skin surface topography using optical profilometry.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The results showed significant anatomical differences: with the crow\u2019s foot site &gt; forearm &gt; calf, for skin surface hydration and corneocyte numbers; and the crow\u2019s foot site &gt; forearm and calf, with no difference between the latter two sites, for TEWL measurements. With these techniques, seasonal differences were observed mainly in the calf, to a lesser extent in the forearm, but not in the crow\u2019s foot area. These mainly involved increases in these three parameters in July, as opposed to the other time\u2010points. Parameters of skin surface topography however, showed no consistent seasonal pattern, but markedly higher values were observed for the forearm in comparison to the calf and crow\u2019s foot sites, which were similar. From meteorological data obtained, the average daily maximum temperature and hours of sunshine increased to peak values in July, as did the absolute humidity derived from relative humidity data.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> We conclude that the results are most likely to represent changes in the SC due to climatic factors, with the calf and forearm sites being most affected in comparison to the face (crow\u2019s foot wrinkle area), which seems unaffected. The reasons for this latter site remaining unchanged may be due to its greater UV exposure, sebum content, and that the use of facial cosmetics was allowed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0846.2000.006002070.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,12]],"date-time":"2003-03-12T20:43:56Z","timestamp":1047501836000},"page":"70-76","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Seasonal variability in the biophysical properties of stratum corneum from different anatomical sites"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"D.","family":"Black","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Pozo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
