Why Should We Take Care of Our Skin?
Our skin is one of the largest organs your body has and it works hard every day to protect our body from harmful elements. It's important to take good care of your skin and develop a skincare routine. Because this can help the organ do its job better and longer.
The skin protects against environmental hazards. The outer skin layer repels water. To protect the skin, prevent the skin from drying out. The skin has a waterproof effect. The skin, the largest organ of our body, plays a vital role. From acting as a defense against environmental hazards to regulating temperature, the skin has many tasks to perform. All the functions that the skin performs are designed to help the body function properly. So let's take a look at the top 5 reasons to take good care of your skin.
The skin is the body's shield
Your skin's primary job is to protect against environmental hazards such as germs and UV radiation. The acid mantle of the skin plays an important role in preventing bacteria from attacking the skin and causing infections. Cleanse the dirt, oil and make-up from the skin with cleansers and never forget to moisturize.
The skin is like a sponge
The outer skin layer is designed to repel water. However, it can also absorb oily substances that easily penetrate between cells. You should make sure that the skin products you use have ingredients that are safe for your skin to absorb. Choose natural and organic products with plant-based antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Skin is like a raincoat
Our skin cells need water, but if the skin surface does not have a waterproof effect, all the water in the skin evaporates and the cells die. To prevent drying out, apply body oil after a shower while your skin is still damp and seal the moisture into the skin.
Skin is like a manufacturing plant
Your skin synthesizes chemicals. There are chemical reactions that take place in the cells that allow the cells to regenerate, repair the damage, and also convert sunlight into vitamin D. That's why your skin care products need to have active ingredients that can stimulate skin cell regeneration.
The skin is like a thermostat
Your skin can regulate body temperature. When body temperature rises, the skin can cool the entire body by sweating and also increasing blood flow. And when the body is cold, the diameter of the blood vessels decreases and it retains heat in the body, reducing blood flow.
