Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims at recent research and development on antioxidants and healthy skin. We are covered with one skin, and thus, healthy skin is important issue for a happy life. Generally, there are two important functions of its outermost layer: maintenance of water and a barrier against chemicals, surfactants, and UV irradiation of skin. Antioxidants are also important to reduce damage to skin, such as UV.

We welcome submissions regarding recent advances in dermatological and cosmetic sciences as well as antioxidants related skin. Studies describing new methodologies for skin care and treatment to maintain healthy skin are encouraged for submission to this issue. In addition, studies from the field of food sciences related to a healthy skin are welcome. Comprehensive reviews related to these topics are also very welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Dermato is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The skin, the largest external organ, serves as the primary defensive barrier against various environmental factors such as ultraviolet exposure, pollution, dietary habits, pathogens, and chemical compounds. Consequently, the skin reflects our age through visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, age spots, dullness, and sagging. This review explores the gender-related aspects of cutaneous aging and the associated dermatological conditions. It highlights the different manifestations of aging in females and males that become evident after the age of 12, emphasizing the susceptibility to conditions such as seborrheic eczema, acne, and rosacea. Treatment strategies often vary between genders due to these disparities. While men tend to experience accelerated skin aging, most anti-aging products and strategies primarily target females. However, there has been a recent shift in men’s priorities, leading to increased interest in maintaining a youthful appearance and seeking cosmetic treatments. The manuscript covers a comprehensive range of modern dermal anti-aging and rejuvenation procedures, including plastic surgery, bio-revitalization methods, lasers, microneedling, and topical treatments. Additionally, it explores promising natural and synthetic therapeutics for combating age-related skin changes. The focus is on understanding the physiological aspects of gender-related cutaneous structure and aging to guide effective and tailored approaches in dermatological practice. Full article

X-ray diffraction is one of the powerful tools in the study of a variety of structures in the stratum corneum at the molecular level. Resolving structural modifications during functioning is an important subject for clarifying the mechanism of operating principles in the function. Here, the X-ray diffraction experimental techniques used in the structural study on the stratum corneum are widely and deeply reviewed from a perspective fundamental to the application. Three typical topics obtained from the X-ray diffraction experiments are introduced. The first subject is concerned with the disruption and the recovery of the intercellular lipid structure in the stratum corneum. The second subject is to solve the moisturizing mechanism at the molecular level and the maintenance of normal condition with moisturizer, being studied with special attention to the structure of soft keratin in the corneocytes in the stratum corneum. The third subject is the so-called 500 Da rule in the penetration of drugs or cosmetics into skin, with attention paid to the disordered intercellular lipid structure in the stratum corneum.
