Do you understand the importance of your skin?
Skin is actually the largest living body organ we have. It prevents us from becoming dehydrated, keeps harmful bacteria, viruses and microbes out, allows us to feel cold, heat and even pain. It regulates our body temperature and helps the body produce vitamin D – essential for liver function. The skin also contains a microbiome, (a community of organisms such as bacteria, fungi, mites and viruses), that live on the skin barrier. These organisms live in perfect balance to keep skin healthy.
