CLEANSING AND EXFOLIATING YOUR SKIN

As not only the largest organ in the body but the only one that is completely exposed, our skin has certain protective mechanisms built into it. The epidermis, or outer layer of skin, is itself one giant membrane designed to protect our bodies. Made up of epithelial tissue that contains no blood cells, the epidermis contains thousands of epithelial cells which receive nutrients via the connective tissue below it. Constantly regenerating and creating new cells, the older cells on the top die off but remain as a protective barrier eventually reaching the outer part of the skin where they are shed. This is a constant process with thousands of cells a day reaching the surface, and it can take a little extra work to remove them so that they don’t hide the newer cells below.
