Skin is a vital organ that covers the entire outside of the body, forming a protective barrier against pathogens and injuries from the environment. The skin is the body's largest organ; about 2 mm thick and weighs approximately six pounds. It shields the body against heat, light, injury, and infection. The skin also helps regulate body temperature, gathers sensory information from the environment, stores water, fat, and vitamin D, and plays a role in the immune system protecting us from disease.

1) Protection – your first line of bodily defense from the external environment.
2) Sensation – your nerve endings react to touch, pressure, heat, cold, vibration and tissue injury.
3) Heat Regulation – this skin function regulates body temperature through sebaceous glands.
4) Storage and Synthesis - acts as a storage center for lipids and water as well as a means of synthesis of vitamin D and B by action of Ultra Violet light on certain parts of the skin.
5) Excretion – an important skin function that eliminates urea when you sweat.
6) Absorption – Oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide enter your skin in small amounts. Because of this, medicine by ointments and patches are used by doctors. Cosmetic and skin care products can also enter the skin and penetrate the bloodstream this way.
