Skin hydration (skin capacitance) by using Corneometer and the trans-epidermal water loss value by using Tewameter of various regimens of bathing and moisturizer application
Time frame: The skin hydration (capacitance value) and transepidermal water loss value were assessed at baseline and every 30 minutes for 120 minutes after each regimen.
