The skin is our body´s largest organ, much more than an outer surface for the world to see. The skin covers every single surface of our body. Our skin is made up into two main layers, namely the epidermis and the dermis. Skin breathes, sweat, needs care and nourishment. Every person can have beautiful skin no matter what her/his age, race or colouring. The secret is to understand how your skin functions and how to treat correctly.
The skin is a living breathing organ that an average adult male weights on average 10 kilograms which is roughly 15% of the body weight, and measures about 2 square metre in area. It covers the surface of the body at a thickness. The skin is thickest on areas of the body that regularly rub against objects, such as the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet both delicate and resilien. It´s constantly renews itself and has a remarkable ability to repair itself after injury. It renews itself in general two till three weeks by young people (till to double as long when we age).
