About this map

Modeled indoor drying stress from NOAA GFS weather. A smooth regional overview; local conditions can differ. This map is a forecast snapshot, not a seven-day local outlook.

Gray areas have insufficient nearby coverage and do not indicate low drying stress.

Gauge colors match the DSI gauge. Color-vision-option uses the alternate palette; the forecast values and care levels are identical. The alternate colors are not a guarantee of accessibility for every viewer.

The map refreshes daily. City forecasts use a separate source and forecast period.

Know before your skin feels it.

Weather fronts, building properties, and seasonal shifts quietly change the moisture in your home's air — often days before your skin shows it. Dermidia provides the tools to track those changes so your skincare routine stays one step ahead, in every season.

Four seasonal home scenes with diverse people adjusting skin care through spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Why would I need this?

Dry-skin weather often arrives before your routine changes.

You may notice the tightness later, but the environmental setup starts earlier: outdoor air gets drier, buildings exchange that air, heating lowers indoor relative humidity, and skin loses water more readily.

Outdoor air

Cold or dry weather

Seasonal weather controls how much water vapor enters a home.

2
Water droplet with downward arrow and fading humidity dots.

Building properties

Humidity changes

Indoor humidity changes in response to vapor buffering by building materials and heating.

3
Skin surface with water vapor being pulled outward.

Water vapor potential

Stronger drying gradient

The driving force for moisture loss becomes stronger around the skin.

4
DSI gauge with colored arc and needle.

Dry Skin Index

0-10 DSI scale

Dermidia translates that physics into a practical skin care signal.

5

Leave-on products

Lotions

Leave-on products are an essential part of enhancing skin hydration.

6
Room humidifier icon with mist.

Indoor humidity

Room humidifiers

When DSI is elevated, humidification can help reduce dermal drying stresses.

Still not sure the signal matters?

Compare Boston and Miami in winter. The contrast makes the DSI tangible: location can change the indoor drying burden, which changes how useful a weekly care cue can be.
