Abstract
A method of treating human skin to enhance the ability of skin in the absorption and retention of moisture in order to retard skin moisture loss. There is applied to skin an organosilicon compound exhibiting humectant-like characteristics which is a carboxylic acid salt functional polysiloxane. An alternate method treats human skin to reduce the transepidermal water loss of skin in order to enhance skin softness. There is applied to skin an occlusive film forming organosilicon compound which is a carboxyfunctional polysiloxane or its metal carboxylate salt.
