Skin CareThe skin is the outer covering
of the body, also known as the
epidermis. It is the largest
organ of the integumentary
system made up of multiple
layers of epithelial tissues, and
guards the underlying muscles,
bones, ligaments and internal
organs. The adjective
cutaneous literally means "of
the skin". Because it interfaces
with the environment, skin
plays a very important role in
protecting (the body) against
pathogens. Its other functions
are insulation, temperature
regulation, sensation, synthesis
of vitamin D, and the
protection of vitamin B folates.
Severely damaged skin will try
to heal by forming scar tissue.
That’s why we should look
carefully after our skin and our
medicaments will help you! |
