Skin plays a very important role in the health and well-being of each person. Owning a healthy skin will help you prevent any bad penetration from the outside environment into the body. The skin has important roles such as:
First of all, it is the first and best defense of the body from heat, cold, dehydration or radiation. You can simply understand that it is the horny layer on the skin that will help prevent bad influences from the outside environment with the inside of the body, and at the same time limit the water loss of the epidermis.
Next, the skin helps to protect the muscle tissue and the tissue fibers that surround the muscle below because the fat cells in the subcutaneous tissue provide a cushion that acts as a shock absorber with external factors.
Besides, the skin helps you to protect your body from harmful alkaline chemicals thanks to the buffering capacity of hydrolipid and acid membranes. Repairing wounds thanks to its excellent regenerative ability is also an important function of the skin
Finally, the skin serves as a food source from the fat cells in the tissues. When your body needs them, these substances will be moved to the blood vessels and taken to where they are needed.
