Our skin is quiet often excluded when we think about our organs. The skin is the body’s largest organ and plays a very important role in the body’s ability to function optimally. The skin is not only the body’s main defence mechanisms for the immune system but it is also the body’s main way to detoxify itself.
Being the largest organ and also it’s the organ that is most visible, the skin quiet often tells the story of our health. The skin can become dry, dull, blemished and sallow when it is not looked after properly. Without a daily regime of skin care a lifestyle diet of fast food, caffeine, sugar, GM food, pollution and stress will cause the skin to suffer and signs of bad health would be easy to see.
