Our protector, our nurturer, our external identity. 

As a society we are often thoughtful and cautious when handling the treatment and maintenance of our bodies' organs. Weekly exercise and stretching. Attending yearly wellness checks-up. Getting second opinions when issues arise. Taking vitamins, prescriptions, and medication. The very thought of applying harsh chemicals to or neglecting our heart would be appalling; yet we do so to our skin daily. 

As the largest organ, ultimately the skin is our internal systems first line of defense. It holds in fluids to prevent dehydration, keeps out harmful microbes to prevent infection, cools us down, keeps us warm and is our persona to the outside world. 

Between misguided daily routines and habits, and the plethora of products mainstream companies peddle we are often anything but kind to our largest organ. Strive to give the care and attention to our skin that we do our internal organs. Continual and daily upkeep is needed but it can be fun, and the benefits are felt so immediately.
