Largest Organ

Do you know that the 'skin' is the largest organ in your body? It performs many vital function yet it is often taken for granted. SKIN is the body's guard, protecting your internal organs against bacteria,chemicals,and external shock.It is also the body's thermostat,regulating the body's temperature through the sweat glands.How you take care of your skin is reflected in its present condition and in the years to come.'Basic Skin Care'Basic skin care includes bathing at least once a day with soap and water. Try to clean your face at least twice a day;in the morning and before you retire to bed in the evening. If we do not wash our face the dust and dirt will block the pores and may cause pimples and black heads.Pimples are due to the blockage and infection of the sebaceous glands of the skin.To get rid of pimples try washing the face with a cleanser with antibacterial properties.There are also many pimple creams and gels,which you can apply to dry up the pimple. Moisturize at least twice a day:once in the morning,and in the evening before going to bed.And it is not true that those with pimples need not moisturize.They should use a water-based moisturizer instead of an oil-based one which may further irritate the skin. 'Care For Dry Skin' Quite a lot of people complain that they have dry,rough skin.This can be due to variety of reasons.Strong soaps,not drinking enough water and an air-conditioned environment all dehydrate the skin. Using very hot water to bathe also causes skin dryness.To prevent this,you should use lukewarm water only when showering.You should also avoid using too strong soap.Try to use one which is pH balanced.You can also apply an emollient cream to hydrate the skin. To have soft,fresh skin remove the outer layer of dead skin cells by rubbing a loofah or washcloth in circular motions on your skin.This is called exfoliation. Eat a balance diet rich in fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water:at least six to eight glasses per day. Cut down on tea,coffee,and alcohol which can cause water loss through an increase in urination. Allergies,hormonal imbalances,infection or stress can also cause skin disorders.Consult your doctor especially if there is any abnormal bruising or also if suspicious moles appear. Having enough sleep is very important for the skin.It is during our sleep that our skin regenerates itself.
