What will you learn?

The Dry Skin Index (DSI) represents dermal stresses caused by changes in indoor temperature and humidity. Skin Sim provides an entire year of daily DSI values for the year 2020 so that you can see the kinds of trends that can occur at a reference house where you live.

How would you alter your skin-care practices to deal with changes in such dermal stresses?

What should you do?

The app shows the numbers of days that exceed DSI levels of 4, 5, and 6. This summary provides an indication of just how much time someone might have to spend hydrating at-risk skin.
