Did you know that our skin is the largest organ of the body?

That's right!

Yes, 
 
The skin is the body's largest organ. It covers the entire body. It serves as a protective shield against heat, light, injury, and infection. The first five layers of the skin are part of the epidermis, and the next two layers comprise the dermis. The epidermis is the outer, waterproofed layer of the skin, and the dermis is the layer below the epidermis.

 There are four basic types of healthy skin: normal, dry, oily and combination skin. Skin type is determined by genetics. The condition of our skin can, however, vary greatly according to the various internal and external factors.
