Our skin is the largest organ of the body. It is made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues that guard underlying muscles and organs. Skin pigmentation varies among races, and skin type can range from dry skin to oily skin.
The adjective cutaneous literally means "of the skin" (from Latin cutis, skin).
Because it interfaces with the surroundings, skin plays a very important role in protecting us 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. This is often discolored and depigmented.
When our skin is healthy and untroubled, we tend to take it for granted, even forget about it. Often it is only after our skin starts to age or once we have abused it by smoking cigarettes, spending unprotected hours in the sun or neglected it in other ways that we suddenly discover our skin is in trouble and begin to flood it with moisturizers, chemicals and various products.
Be kind to your skin. Be kind when you are young, when you grow older and remember pollutants and chemicals are not your friends.
