let's talk about skin!



The skin is the external covering  our body.It is the largest organ of the integumentary system. The skin has multiple layers of ectodermal tissue and guards the underlying bones,muscles, ligaments and internal organs.Our skin is similar to that of most other mammals, except that it is not protected by a pelt. Though most human skin is covered with hair follicles, it appears hairless. There are two general types of skin, hairy and glabrous.It plays a key role in protecting our body against pathogens and excessive water loss.Skin is often discolored and depigmented.
Skin performs important functions in our body such as protecting our body(because it's an anatomical barrier from pathogens and damage between the internal and external environment in bodily defense),Sensation(it contains a variety of nerve endings that react to heat and cold, touch, pressure, vibration, and tissue injury),Aesthetics and communication(others see our skin and can assess our mood, physical state and attractiveness),Absorption(the cells comprising the outermost 0.25–0.40 mm of the skin are "almost exclusively supplied by external oxygen),Excretion( sweat contains urea, however its concentration is 1/130th that of urine, hence excretion by sweating is at most a secondary function to temperature regulation),Control of evaporation(skin provides a relatively dry and semi-impermeable barrier to fluid loss:Loss of this function contributes to the massive fluid loss in),Heat Regulation(the skin contains a blood supply far greater than its requirements which allows precise control of energy loss by radiation, convection and conduction),Water resistance(the skin acts as a water resistant barrier so essential nutrients aren't washed out of the body).


Most of us were not blessed with Perfect skin,but there are helpful tips to make a change.Having beautiful skin makes us more confident.For me,You need to do an effort if you want to achieve beautiful,healthy,smooth and radiant skin.Many ladies have tried countless skin care products,but still nothing's changed.It is essential of maintaining fresh appearance of the skin to cure skin problems.

Proper skin hygiene is important because unclean skin favors the development of pathogenic organisms. The dead cells that continually slough off the epidermis mix with the secretions of the sweat and sebaceous glands and the dust found on the skin form a filthy layer on its surface. If not washed away, the slurry of sweat and sebaceous secretions mixed with dirt and dead skin is decomposed by bacterial flora, producing a foul smell. Functions of the skin are disturbed when it is excessively dirty; it becomes more easily damaged, the release of antibacterial compounds decreases, and dirty skin is more prone to develop infections.(citation needed),

Cosmetics should be used carefully on the skin because these may cause allergic reactions. Each season requires suitable clothing in order to facilitate the evaporation of the sweat. Sunlight, water and air play an important role in keeping the skin healthy.
 I know that many people suffer from skin problems and this had pushed me to share the following tips to those who needed it.
