Skin Health
“Your skin is a reflection of your well-being.’’
The skin, consisting of three main layers—the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer—plays a crucial role in overall well-being by providing protection, regulation, and sensation.
The epidermis serves as the outermost barrier, shielding the body from germs and preventing excessive water loss. Beneath it, the dermis contains connective tissues, nerves, and blood vessels, housing hair follicles and sweat glands that aid in temperature regulation.
The subcutaneous layer, primarily made up of fat, insulates the body and cushions internal structures.
Together, these layers work synergistically to defend against harmful external factors, maintain body temperature, and enable the perception of touch, pain, and heat, highlighting the importance of maintaining healthy skin through consistent skincare practices.
