Your skin is not only the largest organ of the body but it is also the largest immunologic organ in the body. It is a CRUCIAL part of the immune system. The skin plays a dual role in the body's defense against pathogens. Most importantly, the skin provides a physical barrier that protects internal systems from the environment. Human skin also functions as an active immune organ, constantly providing resistance to microorganisms and other noxious environmental agents through innate and acquired immune mechanisms. If you take care of your skin, it can help take care of you. This is why it is so important to have a well-thought out skincare routine. It is absolutely worth the time and energy to take care of your skin on a daily basis. ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ ***All pictures and videos are posted with permission and are property of Riverchase Dermatology, Dr. Stacy Chimento at Diane Walder MD.
