Your skin is your largest, heaviest organ, and it has many important functions. It protects you from heat, cold, germs and dangerous substances. It’s also a great indicator of your overall health — changes in the colour or feel of your skin can be a sign of a medical problem. It’s important to take proper care of your skin and be aware of its overall health.
