Your personal guide to environmental skin care.
Dermidia Guide provides a snapshot of indoor drying stresses based on your building type and local meteorology. A weekly email forecasts the week ahead so your skin care practices can match indoor conditions. As a bonus, Dermidia Compare lets you see how the DSI varies between your location and places you visit. Guide access is opening soon as Dermidia Guide completes beta testing; join the launch list now to receive four free Sunday guides when access opens.
No payment details are collected for the launch list.
Plan skin care before indoor drying stress shows up on your skin.
A dashboard, a weekly forecast, and a place-to-place comparison.
These sample views show how Guide turns the DSI into three subscriber workflows: check the current modeled signal, plan the next week, and preview how a destination may change your care load.

Sunday DSI update
First Alert conditions cover much of the week.
Most days sit in First Alert. Use the base wash routine, then add light lotion after bathing where skin feels tight or rough.
What the Dry Skin Index means
The Dry Skin Index (DSI) estimates the magnitude of indoor drying stresses on skin due to changes in temperature and humidity. The scale runs from 0 to 10: lower numbers mean easier skin care, and higher numbers mean more drying stress.
