Best Homemade Skin Care Producs and Creams - Natural and Herbal Skin care tips and Tricks
What is skin?Stretching from 1.5 to 1.9 square meters and comprising 15 to 20 percent of a person's body weight, skin is the body's largest organ. This protective covering acts as a barrier against pollution, radiation, the elements, harmful microorganisms and physical trauma. But that's not all it does: skin locks in the body's moisture, which keeps inner organs and muscles from drying out. To ensure that the body doesn't develop vitamin D-deficiency diseases such as rickets, the skin manufactures vitamin D from sunlight. Skin also helps regulate body temperature by sweating to cool things off and conserving heat when the air grows chilly. And thanks to its many nerve endings, skin is responsible for our sense of touch, which allows us to sense pain, pressure, temperature and pleasure. Skin guards against heat loss in an ingenious way: by constricting its blood vessels. This conserves heat giving energy, which is needed by the vital inner organs.
