The sole function of the skin is to protect you from the outside world. It behaves like a raincoat, acting as a factory producing vitamin D, sweat, hormones, oils, wax, pigments, all substances we need. The skin eliminates and absorbs at the same time. It is a two way membrane that eliminates a number of harmful substances resulting from the metabolic activities of the intestines and liver.

The skin is continuously influenced and prayed upon by environmental severities as well as maltreatments from inside our body. A healthy diet consisting mainly of fresh fruits and vegetables will provide an adequate intake of fat, proteins, vitamins and minerals, all of which are essential for healthy skin. Please read more on detoxification for more information.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It weighs more than any single internal organ, accounting for about 16 percent of your body weight. The skin is considered to be one of the most important organs in your body. Skin absorption is one of the major modes of chemical entry, some toxins can do more harm absorbed through the skin than through the digestive system because these chemicals lodge directly in fat cells, bypassing the liver. Some areas of the body absorb chemicals much more readily than others, including the lips, under the arms and around the eyes. Some scientists estimate that as much as 60% of what you apply to your skin reaches the bloodstream, a good example of this is birth control patches and nicotine patches.

The skin is a vary intricate micro anatomical structure, the skin is about as thick as a few sheets of paper. Within one square inch there are 650 sweat glands, 65 hair follicles, 19 yards of capillaries, 78 yards of nerves, and thousands of sensory cells, nerve endings and Langerhans cells for immunological protection. Also containing melanocyte cells and the tyrosinase enzyme responsible for producing the melanin, giving your skin its color.

Skin plays an immunological role where the Langerhans cells pick up antigens from the skin and carry them to the lymph nodes protecting the body from microorganisms. Hazardous substances that penetrate the skin barrier may induce dermal irritation, inflammation, sensitive skin, eczema, and psoriasis as well as systemically toxic effects. Many products contain ingredients that penetrate the skin deeper and quicker to achieve whatever affect the product promises, be careful about what you are applying to your skin, it can contain ingredients that may be harmful to your health and effect your biological processes.

It is important that you use skin care products that contain natural ingredients such as botanicals, essential oils, natural vitamins and minerals. Many skin care products on the market today can have harsh chemicals stripping your skin of its natural oils causing skin conditions or irritate already existing problems such as eczema or psoriasis.
