Everything about the Skin

The skin is the largest human organ covering approximately 2 square meters and accounts for 1/6 of our body weight. It serves multiple functions and plays an important role in protecting against microbes, toxins and allergens, maintaining our balance of fluids, exchange of gases (respiration), excretion of waste and temperature regulation. Thousands of tiny receptors make the skin a highly sensitive organ recognizing even the softest touch as well as pressure, temperature, and pain.
