Dermatological Integrity

Meaning

Dermatological Integrity refers to the optimal structural and functional condition of the skin, characterized by a robust epidermal barrier, balanced hydration, elasticity, and a minimal presence of inflammation or pathological changes. This state is a key biomarker of overall health, reflecting underlying systemic and hormonal equilibrium, as the skin is a major target tissue for various hormones. Maintaining integrity is critical not only for aesthetic appearance but also for its primary function as the body’s protective interface against the external environment. A compromised barrier can signal deeper metabolic or endocrine dysregulation.
