Corneometry
Corneometry is a widely practiced method for the measurement of skin hydration. It uses a capacitive sensor to measure the relative permittivity of upper skin layers. Because these depend on hydration of skin, the measured value is a measure for skin hydration.[1]

The name corneometry is derived from the German trademark Corneometer.[2] In 1979 the first commercial instrument for measuring skin hydration was sold under this name.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: We can at least discuss possible issues and solutions now.
gollark: Now? On Discord?
gollark: But the ultrasonic sensors are useful for many of the challenges too. Also, if we were actually coordinating better you could feed our camera and accelerometer/gyro data into that.
gollark: Oh yes, right, you're working on somewhat useful stuff.
