🧬 Your Skin 101: A Primer
Your skin isn’t just a surface — it’s a living, breathing organ, the largest one you have!
🌿 The Three Main Layers
- Epidermis: the outermost barrier, home to dead skin cells, lipids, and your microbiome.
- Dermis: the middle layer, packed with collagen, elastin, blood vessels, and nerve endings.
- Hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue): the fatty bottom layer that cushions and insulates.
Each layer has a role — protecting you, regulating temperature, sensing touch, and even helping your immune system.
🧪 Fun Fact
Your skin renews itself roughly every 28 days —
that’s why consistent care matters!
