Benefits of Healthy Skin
Skin is the largest human organ and it plays a vital
role as your body’s first line of defense against infection and other
harsh elements.
Even small breaks in dry skin are entry points that
can lead to bacterial and viral infections.
Dry skin conditions are often associated with
microangiopathy (when the blood vessels can't get an adequate supply
of nutrients to the skin cells). This impairs skin hydration and
prolongs the healing process.
Moisturized, intact skin is your body’s best defense
against bacteria and viruses because it is a naturally occlusive
barrier that keeps moisture in and infectious agents out.
Taking proper care of your skin just makes good
sense.
