🙌 Your skin is considered the largest organ in the body. It acts as a vital protection barrier, regulates your body temperature, contains nerve endings, and is a vital store of fat, vitamin D, and water.
Your skin can be exceptionally durable - able to withstand considerable superficial damage, with a complex system of self-repair. Your skin can even reverse some degree of sun damage accumulated from UV rays - to a point.
What your skin can't do - is self-repair skin cancer.
Despite this - skin cancers are one of the most preventable kinds of cancer. Regular skin checks and good sun protection practices like slip, slop, slap and slide, are vital to keep your skin as healthy as possible.
