Functions of our wonderful skin!

Functions of our wonderful skin!

There are six main functions that our fabulous skin does! The skin's functions are protection, sensation, heat regulation, excretion, secretion, and absorption. 

 

PROTECTION: The skin protects us from injuries and bacterial infections. 

 

SENSATION: Our skin has different nerve-endings that can feel pain, heat, cold, touch and pressure. 

 

HEAT REGULATION: The skin helps the body keep a healthy temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. 

 

EXCRETION: Perspiration from our glands is excreted through the skin.

 

SECRETION: Our skin produces oil to keep the skin and hair soft. 

 

ABSORPTION: Our skin can absorb some ingredients to help keep skin soft, plump, and glowing.
