Skin
The skin plays a hugely important function in the body's makeup. It is the largest organ of the integumentary system.
As it is exposed to the environment it plays a crucial role in protecting the body against pathogens. It also insulates, regulates temperature, provides sensation, provides synthesis of vitamin D and protects against vitamin D folates. If the skin is damaged severely, it will try to heal by forming scar tissue, which can discolour and depigmentate. Skin pigmentation varies among populations and humans skin type can range from dry to oily. Because of this, it is important to have a skincare regime and use products which suit a particular skin type, as the wrong one will decrease the effect.
The L'Occitane en Provence range offers a solution for all skin types and ages.
