Your skin needs your attention right now and here’s why!
Skin in its basic definition is the largest organ of the body. It serves as a protective barrier of our body against bacteria and viruses. It regulates body temperature, excretes wastes, and controls the level of perspiration to avoid dehydration. Not only that! It is also in the skin where sensory receptors are found which is responsible in detecting sensation, pressure, and pain. Most of these receptors are found in our palm that’s why this is the most sensitive part of our skin.
Just like any other parts of our body, no matter how impressive it’s function is, when failed to care properly, can still be damaged. It is because skin also needs enough nutrients to do its tasks properly. An overly used toy could not function well without extra care and battery maintenance. A low battery needs to be charged to maintain its life. If you want to use your marker all the time, be sure to reserve enough ink for it. So does your skin! If you want your skin to be healthy, then give the nutrients it needs.
Not having a skin care routine means failure to protect your whole body. If our skin fails to do its tasks, our whole body is in danger. The next thing that might happen could be skin problems like rashes, warts, eczema, psoriasis, dandruff, melanoma, and many more. And for sure, encountering these skin problems is the least thing you want to happen, isn’t it? Because although medicines are already available for treating skin problems, it’s still not 100% effective plus the expenses for the treatments will really give someone a headache.
Prevention is still the best cure!
