Abstract :
[en] Some cutaneous functions of importance are governed by periodical variations according to the nycthemeral timing. Similarly to other organs, the skin is under the influence of a coherent organisation of circadian and nythemeral rhythms modulating various biological cycles which usually display a wide amplitude. The cutaneous biorhythms in humans suggest that during daylight the skin boosts diverse protective functions with regard to environmental threats. In the evening and at night, the skin increases its renewal and diverse metabolic processes. Biorhythms in the skin which are in line with the organism's needs, merit to be recognized. Chronophysiology, chronopathology and clinical chronopharmacology may help reach optimal therapeutic decisions.
