Main Functions of the Skin

Protection
The skin protects internal organs from injury and infection. Keratin in the outer cell layer prevents germs from invading the body. Skin’s elasticity withstands physical pressure and reduces injuries.

Regulation
Sweat secretions evaporate on the skin’s surface, thereby cooling the body and regulating its temperature.

Sensation
The skin is a sensory organ. Nerve ending in the epidermis responds to heat, cold, touch, pressure and pain.

Secretion
Skin secretes sebum from the sebaceous glands.

Storage
Skin stores vitamin D.

Top 10 Skin Care Dos

Take better care of yourself on a daily basis.
Wear sun protective clothing.
Apply sun protection with SPF and antioxidants, such as green tea, white tea, and red tea. Thermus thermophilus helps to shield the skin from heat damage.
Enjoy rejuvenating facials at least once a month.
Do not go to bed without soaking for 15 minutes in a seaweed bath. Relax.
Exercise daily using calisthenics. Breathe deeply.
Cleanse and tone the skin twice daily.
Always use a moisturizer and a nourishing cream.
Sleep with a silk eye mask to relax your eye area and prevent you from frowning in your sleep.
Use a nourishing cream all over your body daily.

Top 10 Skin Care Don’ts

1. Avoid indoor tanning. It can cause skin cancer and premature aging.
2. Do not smoke. It can kill you.
3. Stay away from the sun from 10 A.M. – 4 P.M., when its rays are their most dangerous.
4. Avoid stressful situations. Proper planning prevents anxiety.
5. Do not eat junk food.
6. Avoid processed foods with a high nitrate, sugar and sodium content.
7. Do not eat fried foods.
8. Do not use soaps and avoid benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen, retinoic acid and glycolic acid, because they reduce the protective barrier of the skin.
9. Do not pick and scratch your skin. It removes a barrier and may cause infections.
10. Do not overdue anything – remember less is always more.
