Why should we love our skin?

Our skin is an AMAZING and vital organ that we often never think about until something changes in it, but when you actually think about all it does for you, it is hard not to gain a new respect for it.
Your skin is not simply a layer; it is a vital organ that you can’t live without. It is your communicator from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. It is an incredible barometer of what is going on inside your body.
All skin conditions from rashes; acne; to the signs of ageing, are the manifestations of your body’s internal needs. Your skin’s reflection is a daily indicator of what is happening internally.
The skin preforms a multitude of tasks, most of which go unnoticed and under-appreciated until you stop and think about it.

• Our skin protects us from disease and daily exposure from harmful particles in the air or surfaces we touch.
• Our skin cools us when we are hot, and warms us when we are cold.
• Our skin heals wounds inflicted on it, often without any assistance from us.
• Our skin is able to absorb sunlight and produces Vitamin D, which is a critical vitamin for our health.
• Our skin keeps itself moist (although a little help from us is needed).
• Our skin warns us of dangers, it tells us if something is sharp, hot, or cold.
• Our skin tells us of the environment around us, when the sun is shining we feel the heat, when the wind is cold our skin tells us.
• Our skin is our sense of touch, it is how we feel a hug or kiss or the sand on the beach.
• Our skin stretches, allowing us to move freely, grow and expand.
• Our skin slows its own ageing.
• Our skin every day attempts to renew and restore itself, to be in the best state it can be.

While skin accomplishes all of this on its own, it still needs support in order to thrive, not just function!
Our skin is the covering that we wear everyday, day in, day out, from the day we are born until the day that we die, it is our “Birthday Suit” and it is the most valuable “suit” we will own.  Support it, care for it, learn to read it and it will “GLOW!”
