There are several factors that we should consider when taking care of our skin. One major factor is the climate. Just as your body needs different clothing to protect it against the changing weather, your skin needs a different skin care regime to properly protect it from the elements. As the body’s largest organ, skin is far more delicate than you probably realize. Here is a closer look at how winter versus summer affects skin and its care.

When it comes to skincare, contrary to popular belief, sensitive skin is not considered to be a medical condition. If you have sensitive skin, it typically means that your skin has become red, swollen and/or itchy as a result of either an environmental condition or an allergic reaction to a certain product.

When we think of organs, what comes to mind is the heart, brain and lungs. Many people are not aware that the skin is our body’s largest organ.
The skin plays a vital role as it protects our body. Can you imagine not having skin? That’s a scary thought. Our skin protects our internal body parts and keeps bodily fluids inside. Another important function of our skin includes protection from external factors like the environment and bacteria.
The skin is made up of different layers. We usually do not think about the other layers as we only see the epidermis, or the outer layer of the skin. If you were to look at a cross-section of skin, you’d see that skin consists of 3 different layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the hypodermis or subcutis layer.

What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a common skin condition that occurs mostly in women. The easiest way to think of cellulite is to think of skin dimples.
