About Skin |

Text 
 Skin is the largest organ of the body and provides physical barrier to help keep out environmental toxins. It regulates body temperature, retains water, fat, Vitamin D and nutrients. Skin can sense pain and stimulation. Skin consists of three components - Epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous hypodermis. All these three components regulate the water and acts as a protective barrier. The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, consists mainly of dead cells and water and contributes to the skin's elasticity. Face and skin surface are lubricated naturally. Sweat, sebaceous materials and oil form a natural emulsion that glows freely over skin surface. |

Posted on: 03/08/2013 I am a recently licensed esthetician. A young girl was brought in by her mother, her mother advising that her daughter "had dry patches on her skin."] The young girls
skin is hard to describe, but it remind me of the feel of crusty snow. The didn't really have patches, her arms face and chest all had the same condition. She did have beautiful pale skin but the feel was really bizarre. She did have some breakouts on her chin so her condition wasn't from a loss of oil. I've looked up asteatosis and alipidic symptoms but these conditions don't seem to fit the description. Any information you can provide will be helpful. Thank you, Sandra
