Taking Care of the Skin, the Largest Organ in your Body

Taking Care of the Skin, the Largest Organ in your Body

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It covers the entire external surface of the body. The skin is approximately 15% of the body's weight. The skin and its derivatives (hair, nails, sweat, and oil and sweat glands), serve as a protective barrier against the external environment, preventing the entry of harmful substances and maintaining internal balance.

Many of the skin's most important functions are:

  • Protect your body from environmental stressors like germs, bacteria, pollution, chemicals, extreme sun.
  • Regulate your body temperature.
  • Receive sensory information.
  • Store water, fat, and vitamin D.

Unfortunately, we take our skin for granted and lather up daily with chemicals by using artificial liquid soaps with a list of ingredients we can't even pronounce. How about hair products loaded with silicones, or nail polish with toxic ingredients. Many of the common brands commercial soaps might help contribute to many skin problems such as cracked lips, acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, to mention a few.

The solution to achieve healthy and nourished skin and hair is simply to switch to natural soaps and conditioners. They are not overly expensive, and give you benefits that are well worth it such as:

  • Moisturizing due to the natural glycerin present in cold processed, natural soap.
  • Nourishing ingredients like oils, fats, and vegetable butters.
  • Mild and suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Free of harsh chemicals.
  • Environmental friendliness with no use of single plastic bottles.
  • Long-lasting bars that are easy to use and good for your pocket.

You are most likely to find natural soaps at health food stores, and on-line stores. Welcome to our Tropical Glow family. Don't miss the chance to make a good change for your health and be happy. Visit us at tropicalglow.site
