The skin is the body's largest, most vulnerable organ. At a glance, the condition of one's skin can suggest a general state of health and provide clues about one's lifestyle, age and experiences. It is also highly functional, no less dynamic than the heart, kidneys or liver. Its physiological roles include: elimination of fat-soluble toxins, immune system defense, vitamin D3 synthesis, nutrient storage, moisture retention, body temperature regulation and self repair.*

The ability of skin to fulfill these varied tasks is affected by a number of factors. It is continually exposed to chemical-laden soaps and creams, weakened by stress and aging, compromised by poor dietary habits, and weathered by external elements, including pollution and intense rays from the sun. Aside from their effect on skin function, these influences also have an impact on appearance.*
