A few words about your skin
Your skin is not just a surface, it’s actually a pretty impressive part of your body. The skin is the body’s largest organ and constitutes approx. 16% of body weight and constantly regenerates itself. And it absorbs up to 80% of everything we apply to it.
The skin is the organ that forms the body’s border with the outside world. The skin serves different purposes; it protects the body from external influences such as heat, cold, radiation or bacteria and helps maintain a stable internal environment.
The skin consists of the epidermis, leather skin and subcutaneous skin.
Your skin consists of 3 layers:
The epidermis is a super-thin layer of protective skin cells that prevent chemical substances and microorganisms from entering the body – it is also pigment cells in the epidermis that cause you to become sunburnt. The skin cells in this skin layer are constantly renewing themselves.
The leather skin contains many collagen fibers that make your skin elastic, and with the help of blood vessels and sweat glands it helps maintain a constant body temperature. It is also full of nerves, allowing you to feel warm, cold, gentle touches and pain.
The subcutaneous tissue is a deposit of fat, water and salts that protects the body from shock and pressure and acts in isolation.
