Your Skin

You may not realize it, but your skin is actually your body’s largest organ. Its main function is as a barrier to prevent pathogens and other harmful agents from penetrating into your body. Of course, we also want to make sure that our skin is as smooth and youthful as possible.
Unlike other crucial body systems, your skin is exposed to the outside environment, including things like germs, oils, heat and other potentially harmful substances. The skin is also incredibly complex, with multiple layers of tissue, collagen and glands.
Because of this, your lifestyle is the biggest factor that can influence healthy skin care. Skin that is healthy is able to resist signs of aging, heals faster and can even stave off potential disease. It often manifests some underlying diseases, and, when it’s visually altered or damaged, can have a profound effect on one’s quality of life. Just as it blocks bad stuff out, the skin’s barrier also works to keep the good stuff in.
Healthy skin helps you maintain your hydration levels and is also responsible for regulating your body temperature, keeping you safe and healthy. Having healthy skin is helping you react better to important changes around you. You may think your skin is healthy today, but did you know your skin cells shed just about every minute of every day? This means the healthy skin you have today will be shedding tomorrow, so if you don’t care for it now, you could lose it to dull, less-than-perfect skin. Beautiful skin is a lifelong process, and developing and maintaining healthy skin as young as you are today can help you keep beautiful skin for the future, but at the same time, negative skin care routines now can harm your skin for the future.
