The skin is the body's protective barrier against the environment. We often take our skin for granted.
Most people fail to realize that the skin needs daily care just like brushing one's teeth.
If the skin is not taken care of properly it can become dry, flaky, cracked and inflamed. This can predispose the skin to infection from wart viruses and bacteria. A daily skin care regimen should start as early as infancy and continue throughout one's life. Everyone has a natural oil covering their skin. This oil, named sebum, is made by glands in the skin.
