Women’s skin is thinner and more sensitive to outside influences than that of men. In addition, a woman’s skin is affected more strongly by certain metabolic processes (e.g. from hormones) during her lifetime. Negative influences that affect our body’s largest organ, the skin, from head to toe are not always immediately visible. Often these only become apparent as time passes. All the more reason to take good care of our skin already at an early age and to ensure its health with effective measures. Dangers that affect the skin include exposure to:
- All types of UV radiation
- Fine particulate air pollution
- Mechanical stress
To counteract these influences and heal previously sustained damage, our skin needs help on a daily basis. Support needs to come both from the inside (endogenous) through bodily functions and from the outside (exogenous). Exogenous support entails using good skin-care products, but also includes a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet, sufficient exercise, moderate nicotine and alcohol consumption, plenty of sleep, and a positive attitude toward life. Some of the vital tasks our skin, the body’s largest organ, performs are:
Protecting our body against mechanical influences, heat, and chemicals. This protection, however, is limited. After intensive exposure to the sun, especially in the face, skin tumors such as basal and squamous cell carcinomas and malignant melanomas may develop at a faster rate.
Regulating our temperature. Our skin vessels expand when it is hot to release body heat, and contract during the cold to retain it.
Functioning as an overall sensor. With its countless receptors, the skin senses temperatures, pressure, UV radiation, and humidity. Our skin can also differentiate between gentle stroking and rough handling, and it plays an important role in helping the body produce antibodies (immune system), synthesize vitamin D3 (induced by UV radiation), etc.
Consequently, maintaining healthy skin is as important as having a healthy heart.
