Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin inflammation is a sign of an immune response in the body, induced by multiple factors including allergies, infections and autoimmune diseases. The skin barrier can be repaired using ingredients such as lipids, fatty acids, and natural products and their active components. Plants have an abundance of active components and various phytochemicals with multiple benefits, including antioxidant properties, antiaging and protection of the skin from environmental damage.
The focus of this Special Issue is the improvement of skin-related problems through the application of natural products or their active components, including skin problems and related diseases caused by inflammation, aging, pigmentation, regulation of sebum and intracellular lipids, etc. In addition, regulation and mechanisms of the skin barrier function and the role of skin barrier function in skin problems will be discussed.
Prof. Dr. Hsiu-Mei Chiang
