Benefit From The Skin’s Natural Absorption Function
by: Daniellle Sims
The skin is the largest living, breathing
organ of the body. It acts as an interface between the internal
and external environments. It consists of the epidermis, dermis
and the hypodermis. The epidermis is the surface layer, the
layer that we see. It serves us as the protective layer. The
dermis is the middle layer that contains the glands and the
connective tissues. This layer helps complete the absorption
process by carrying whatever is placed on the epidermis to the
deepest part of the skin and throughout the body.
The hypodermis contains the adipose tissues or fat layer. This
is the layer that contains your fat cells.

The major functions of the skin are:
1. Protection. The skin serves as a barrier that prevents
microorganisms and other substances from entering the body.
2. Regulates Body Temperature. Considerable heat is lost through
the skin. Even under conditions of high temperature or exercise,
the body temperature remains almost normal.
3. Elimination. The evaporation of perspiration acts to cool the
skin. In addition, small amounts of waste product and salt leave
the body through sweat.
4. Sensation. Nerve endings in the skin provide the body with a
great deal of information about the outside environment.
5. Vitamin D Production. In the presence of sunlight or
ultraviolet radiation, a substance in the skin is altered to
produce vitamn D, necessary for the absorption of calcium and
phosphate from food.
Another function of the skin, that is often overlooked, is its
absorption properties. This is the reason why applying
transdermal medications (birth control patch, smoking patch,
etc..) to the skin is so effective. You can also beneft from
the absorption function of the skin with cosmetic lotions,
topical treatments, and other applications that benefit the
skin.
