The day after the completion of every 2 week schedule of UV irradiation, the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and stratum corneum hydration (SCH) were measured by a tewameter and corneometer using a Cutometer™ MPA 580 (Courage and Khazaka Electronics™, Cologne, Germany). A measuring probe was placed on the middle portion of the dorsal skin of the mice, which were anesthetized by inhaling a low concentration of isoflurane. Values of TEWL were read at the plateau of the estimation graph, while SCH values were taken as the mean value of three measurements.
