Your skin is not only the body's biggest organ, but it’s also a multitasker!

Depending on your size, it can cover around 1.5 to 2 square meters and weigh anywhere between 3.5 and 10 kilograms – that’s about 15% of your total body weight.

Think of it like your personal armor: it helps you feel the world, protects your insides, and fights off harmful stuff.

But here’s the kicker—if your skin ages too quickly, it can lose some of that power, leaving you more vulnerable to infections.

And it turns out, your skin’s health might be more important than we thought.

Your skin is made up of three layers: the outer one (the epidermis) which is constantly renewing itself, the middle one (the dermis) packed with collagen and elastin to keep it firm and stretchy, and the deep one (the subcutis) which cushions and protects.

If your skin gets damaged, it triggers an inflammation response to help heal.

But if inflammation sticks around for too long, it can start to affect other organs, spreading through the blood vessels in the dermis.

So, keeping your skin happy might just be the key to keeping your whole body in check!
