Skin and its care

Skin - not only the largest, but also one of the most important organs of our body! 🌟

The average adult's skin area is about 1.5 - 2 square meters, and its weight is about 16% of body mass!!!

Skin allows us to feel touch, warmth. It also regulates body temperature and produces vitamin D when exposed to the sun.

Since skin is so important and covers all our organs, we must take comprehensive care of it.

 

Eat more fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, which are rich in antioxidants and fatty acids.

Drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated.

Sleep is the time when the skin regenerates. Try to sleep 7-8 hours a day.

Avoid strong chemical products and cosmetics.

Use natural cosmetics, plant oils, which will protect and nourish your skin's health and beauty.
