All about skin
Skin is the biggest organ of our body. It represents a layer which protects us from outside influence but at the same time, it has some internal functions as well. Although it serves to protect us, it is very gentle and it reacts to most of the changes in our environment. Through skin, we are able to tell if something is good or bad for us. Like any other part of our body, it needs to be regularly checked and treated with utmost care.
There are three main layers of skin: epidermis, dermis and fat layer.
Epidermis is the thinnest layer of our skin and it represents our first line of defense. Its main role is to protect our body from various microbes and foreign agents which would harm our organism. At the same time, this layer prevents water from flowing out of our body while it allows some other liquids to flow in. One of the most important functions of the skin is absorption of the sunlight. Melanin which is part of epidermis helps us absorb quality sunlight turning it into vitamin D while it prevents ultraviolet radiation to our skin. Epidermis also serves to improve our immunity.
Dermis is lower layer of skin and its main role is production. It creates hair follicles, sweat and sebum, which is important oil used for follicles. At the same time, nerve endings are positioned here, allowing us to feel things on touch. There are many blood vessels in this part of the skin allowing us to regulate temperature and efficiently use minerals and vitamins.
Last layer of skin or fat layer, has mainly protective role. As you can presume, it is the fattest part of skin and it provides our body with isolation from temperature.
If you follow a few, relatively easy rules, you will be able to have healthy and nurtured skin. Have in mind that skin is same like any other organ in our body and same set of rules applies for it. First, you will need to have healthy diet filled with various minerals and vitamins. This way, you will be able to provide your skin with all the nutritive components which it needs. Some bad habits such as smoking or drinking are disastrous for it. Smoking makes your skin yellow while drinking dehydrates it. You need to drink at least two liters of water per day to keep it moist. Also, avoid some conditions such as extreme heat or cold and don’t expose yourself to sun during middle of the day.
Furthermore, it is best if you seek assistance and help from professionals. Your dermatologist is always the safest choice if you notice some surface changes on your skin. However, when it comes to daily treatment, the best choice is your local beauty salon. Even if you are a guy, it is recommended visiting it from time to time.
