A simple summary of the skin is as below:
- Skin is the largest organ of the human body.
- Skin acts as a barrier, protecting our muscles and inner organs from dehydration, harmful microorganisms, the emelemts, and physical trauma.
- Skin has 3 layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutis, and each with important functions.
- The sun is skin'd number one enemy. Smoking comes second.
- Adequate sleep is the key to helping skin renew itself and for maintaining a good complexion.
- What you put - and don't put - in your body affects the skin.
- Each decade has its own complexion quirks.
