The Rationale:
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.*
