The Functions of Our Skin

At Nakin we spend most of our time helping our customers skin to look and feel great with our natural anti-ageing face care products. Our faces are a huge part of our look and who we are, and our skin does a lot more than keeping us looking good, which is why it is important to keep it in excellent condition. We all love to have happy, hydrated, smooth healthy skin so it is easy to forget what the main purpose of our skin is. Read on to find out the main functions of our skin below.

Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies, and it serves several essential functions. It helps to regulate our body temperature, protect us from infection, and keep our bodies hydrated. Our skin also helps us to communicate with the outside world through touch, pressure, and temperature receptors.

One of the most important functions of our skin is to act as a barrier between our internal organs and the outside world. The outermost layer of our skin, the epidermis, is made up of dead cells that form a tough barrier against bacteria, viruses, and other environmental toxins. The middle layer of our skin, the dermis, contains blood vessels, nerves, and sweat glands that help to keep our bodies regulated. The innermost layer of our skin, the subcutaneous layer, contains fat and connective tissue that help to keep our skin attached to our bodies.

Our skin also helps to regulate our body temperature. The blood vessels dilate or constrict depending on the temperature outside, which helps to keep us warm or cool as needed. Sweat glands in our skin also help to cool us down by releasing sweat onto the surface of our skin.

Our skin also protects us from infection. The epidermis is made up of dead cells that form a barrier against bacteria and other pathogens. The dermis contains immune cells that help to fight off infection. In the subcutaneous there is a layer containing special immune cells called Langerhans cells, that help to alert the immune system to the presence of pathogens.

Our skin also helps to keep our bodies hydrated. The epidermis contains a layer of oil that helps to lock in moisture. The dermis contains blood vessels that help to transport water and nutrients to the skin. Then the subcutaneous layer contains fat cells that help to store water and provide cushioning.

Touch is one of the most important ways that we communicate with the outside world. The receptors in our skin allow us to feel pressure, temperature, pain, and vibration. These receptors send information to our brains that help us to understand our environment and make decisions about how to respond.

Our skin is a complex organ that serves many essential functions. It helps to keep us healthy and safe from the outside world. It helps to regulate our body temperature. And it helps us to communicate with the world around us.

Our skin really is amazing when we look at all its special functions. This is why at Nakin we believe in using natural skincare products that work in harmony with our own biology. To find out more about us visit our website at www.nakinskincare.com
