What Are the Layers of Skin, and How Do They Protect the Body? - #15426
I recently started learning about skin health, and I was surprised to find out that the skin is made up of multiple layers, each with different functions. From what I understand, the skin has three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, but how exactly do they work together to protect the body? I read that the epidermis is the outermost layer responsible for forming a protective barrier, while the dermis contains collagen, sweat glands, and hair follicles, and the hypodermis helps with insulation and cushioning. How do these layers interact to heal wounds, regulate temperature, and prevent infections? One thing that concerns me is how skin diseases, aging, and environmental damage can affect the different layers of skin. What are the best ways to maintain healthy skin and prevent premature aging? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural remedies that help support skin regeneration and protection? I’ve heard that Aloe Vera, Sandalwood, and Turmeric are great for skin repair—do these actually work for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration? If anyone has experienced skin issues like dryness, sensitivity, or pigmentation, what skincare routines or natural remedies helped the most?
