Skin is one of the largest organs of the body. Because of this, caring for your skin can directly affect your overall health. Your skin acts as a protective shield and is most vulnerable to outside elements. It’s affected by more factors than you may think.
For instance, the following can play a role in your overall skin health:
exposure to UV radiation in tanning beds
exposure to chemical toxins in tobacco
unprotected sun exposure for long periods of time
not getting enough rest, fluids, or nutrition
aging
