The skin is the largest organ, the man has. Every day she met a lot of useful functions, and so they all can perceive, they also need care and protection.
But firstly, it is for you shield against heat and cold – at least at normal temperatures. It acts like a shock absorber against pressure, shock or friction is not any contact, for example, with sharp edges, heavy objects or rubbed on the same land to an injury. It also protects them to some extent also in chemicals, such as rinsing or All-purpose cleaners included. In addition, it offers about 100,000 bacteria habitats. But do not worry: The skin has a pH of us protects against pathogens. If they can, for example, by an injury time but a disease of the skin, make the scavenger cells to the pathogen Garaus. It is also important that the skin is in a position to certain substances and convert. Only then can, for example, Woundable work and actually help heal.
With the skin, our body also – so to speak standard – an integrated air-conditioning. Because whenever we too hot, jumps and makes them sweat through distribution for cooling. In order for this air conditioning works, sign "probe" when it is too warm or too cold. The body may be reacting to some extent by giving in "too cold" the blood flow slows and "too hot" more blood to circulate and thus allows for an appropriate climate in the body makes. Moreover, the skin is a kind of news agency for our brains, because they always provide information on states, which can only be felt, how hot / cold, wet / dry, hard / soft.
Set your skin not exposed to extreme temperatures. Burns or frostbite would be unpleasant consequences. Therefore, in both summer and winter: Where exposed to the sun hits your body, it needs adequate protection from sun creams and lipsticks. And when it’s cold, even at times a hat or scarf think!
Who loves sports, where sometimes with a fall is to do his own skin (and of course the joints) Good, if he thinks appropriate protection – they can arm and knee protectors when inliers or the helmet when riding a bike.
The skin looks forward even if they are as little chemicals abbekommt. So: The next time if it means the cleaning help, gloves do not forget!
And even like the skin, even as our bodies, like everything in moderation: This is for showers, which meets once a day enough to increment that you also must not exaggerate. The skin has its own ways, a little too much or even a matter of balance. And the more it will intervene, the more difficult it has the skin to help itself.
