The skin is the largest organ in the human body, its surface reaches 2.5 square meters, 400 cc of volume, so it is one of the most important organs of human beings by its length and its function is responsible of regular contact with the outside, this is one of the organs most exposed to external agents. The cold and heat, pollution, ultraviolet rays, all kinds of aggression has to repel the skin.
Their care is very important, are passed through it constantly quantity of waste products, dissolved in water through sweat, also in the form of fatty substances from the sebaceous glands. These materials many of them evaporate like sweat, but many act as protective layers, such as fat, but can collect plenty of dirt and bacteria form blackheads, pimples, acne, etc … The skin would not have major problems to maintain a balance, but the climate of aging and the quantity of harmful agents that the man expelled into the atmosphere as pollution. A part of this in our modern society are added unhealthy life habits (smoking, high fat meals, etc …), the makeup that can clog pores, etc. ..
It is for this reason we must add to our skin extra care that can deal with all these actors, moisturize and cleanse it of impurities, but over time it degrades much our largest organ, causing symptoms of premature envejeciemiento.
The skin has three main layers, which in turn are subdivided into so many layers:
* Epidermis: is made up in turn by other layers, the outer or horny, middle or lucida, internal or granular and the basal layer that separates the dermis. Among the basal layer and the granular mucous is the Malpighian body, where it is carried out epitaliales cell reproduction, which forms the other two capas.Estas cells reproduce relatively quickly, expelling the cells found above them. This process occurs at different rates according to age, but it never stops. It is faster at night.
* This outer layer are holes where it leaves the hair, pores, sebaceous glands and sweat glands. It’s where wrinkles are formed, the skin softness and flexibility.
* Dermis: This layer is traversed by blood and lymph vessels, allow irrigation, nerve terminals, enables touch and environmental conditions (hot and cold sensations). It contains the roots of hair and hairiness, Meissmer corpuscles and follicular glands, these glands provide the hair of the fat that gives flexibildad and elasticity, its greatest contribution makes hair is oily, dry or normal.
or for beauty is perhaps the most important layer are fibers that form, are divided into elastic fibers or muscle that give more or less flexibility to the skin and collagen fibers that determine their strength or consistency. An inadequate supply and maintenance of the same causes hardening of the elastic fibers (wrinkling, scaling, dryness) and the weakening of the collagen fibers (skin sagging and wrinkled)
* Subcutis: it is less important from the standpoint of beauty, serves as a nexus between the skin and tissue underneath. It consists of connective tissue fibers and fat loose structure, there sanguíineos vessels or nodes.
