What color does a woods lamp produce for dry, dehydrated skin?

Blue
Light violet
Yellow
Green

The correct answer is: Light violet

A woods lamp is a diagnostic tool used in skincare to assess the condition of the skin. When it comes to identifying dry or dehydrated skin, the light emitted from a woods lamp is typically light violet. This coloration indicates that the skin lacks adequate moisture and is often accompanied by a rough texture or other signs of dehydration. The light violet hue emanating from the woods lamp serves as a visual cue, allowing estheticians to pinpoint areas of concern related to hydration levels. This is crucial for tailoring treatment plans and selecting appropriate skincare products that will help address the dryness and improve the skin's overall health. Understanding these visual cues is an essential part of skin analysis in esthetics practice.
