SKIN SCIENCE
The skin is the largest organ of the body. It makes up approximately 5% of the body's weight.
It is more than a wrapping. It is a living organ with vital functions that interact with other internal organs.
Skin protects the body from harmful elements in the environment such as UV radiation, foreign substances, bacteria and harmful chemicals.
Skin shows how healthy the body is. It continually eliminates wastes, secretes protective lubricants, grows hair and nails and is instrumental in producing and shedding skin cells.
The skin's harmonious balance with the environment allows it to react to many internal and external stimuli.
Any subtle changes in either of these factors will be reflected through the skin. Blushing when embarrassed, retaining heat when cold, perspiring when hot or eating spicy food, and turning red when sunburned are all examples of the skin's reactions to stimuli.
More than half of what you put on your skin makes its way into your body. The choice between herbal and synthetic skin-care products boils down to the question of why you would put something onto your skin that you would never consider putting into your mouth.
