SKIN AGEING SLOW DOWN (HERE'S HOW?)
Skin is the body's largest organ, a
waterproof barrier that protects the internal organs against infection, injury,
and harmful sun rays. The skin is also an important sensory organ and helps to
control body temperature. The outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis
is coated with keratin, a tough, horny protein that is also the chief
constituent of hair and nails. Dead cells are shed from the skin's surface and
are replaced by new cells from the base of the epidermis, the region that also
produces the skin pigment, melanin. The dermis contains most of the skin's
living structures, and includes nerve endings, blood vessels, elastic fibers,
sweat glands that cool the skin, and sebaceous glands that produce oil to keep
the skin supple. Beneath the dermis lies the subcutaneous tissue (hypodermics),
which is rich in fat and blood vessels. Hair shafts grow from hair follicles
situated in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Hair grows on every part of the
skin apart from the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
