In zootomy and dermatology, skin is an organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues that guard underlying muscles and organs. As the interface with the surroundings, it plays the most important role in protecting against pathogens. Its other main functions are insulation and temperature regulation, sensation and vitamin D and B synthesis. Skin is considered one of the most important parts of the body.
Many problems with a skin grow out stress. When you are nervous, sleep less, often forget to look after yourself, neglecting habitual cosmetic procedures, and drink not enough liquid which is necessary that the skin remained soft and smooth. The some people start to be scratched or touch the face more often. It increases probability of hit by it of pathogenic bacteria and serves as the reason of occurrence of "troubles".
The face is the most exposed part of the body, vulnerable to the harsh rays of the sun. The face is also subject to acne, rashes, allergic reactions, and injuries that may leave permanent scars. Also there are other harmful substances in the air like dust particles, vapors of fuel omitted by vehicles and harmful chemical substances omitted by chemical factories etc are all harmful for our skin. 90% of the symptoms of skin aging caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Most of the photoaging effects like damage to the skin, as wrinkles or discoloration occur by age 20.
Not all acne is the same. Simplistically, acne can be divided into red bumps and blackheads/whiteheads. This division is important because each type is treated differently. Blackheads and whiteheads, known as comedones, can be more numerous on the face and shoulders than red bumps filled with pus.
• Comedones: A plug of sebaceous and dead skin material stuck in the opening of a hair follicle. The follicle may be open (blackhead) or almost closed (whitehead).
• Blackheads: Blackheads, also known as open comedones, are follicles that have a wider than normal opening. They are filled with plugs of sebum and sloughed off cells and have undergone a chemical reaction resulting in the oxidation of melanin. This gives the material in the follicle the typical black color.
• Whiteheads: Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are follicles that are filled with the same material, but have only a microscopic opening to the skin surface. Since the air cannot reach the follicle, the material is not oxidized, and remains white.
