The Skin
The skin is one of the most important organs of the body. It protects us from the outside world, helps to regulate our temperature and respond to changes in the environment 1 .
The skin has three layers which enable it to be the protective barrier we need.
Top layer (Barrier)
The Epidermis
Second layer (Containing the blood supply, connective tissue and nerves)
The Dermis
Bottom layer (Formed of fat cells providing insulation and protection)
The Hypodermis
